Since joining 104 West in 2004, Kathryn has helped transform the agency from a start-up to a respected public relations firm that was ranked as Denver’s largest technology-focused PR agency by the Denver Business Journal. She has helped build a client portfolio that has included some of the most recognizable entrepreneurs in business today such as Trip Hawkins (founder of Electronic Arts), Nolan Bushnell (founder of Atari and creator of Pong), Perry Evans (founder of MapQuest), Jeremy Jaech (founder of Visio and Aldus), and Brian Behlendorf (co-founder of the Apache Web Server).
Prior to 104 West, Kathryn served as a Director of Public Relations for Metzger Associates, a high-tech PR agency.

Kathryn has received top honors from the nationally acclaimed SABRE, Hermes Creative, PR Platinum and PRSA awards for outstanding public relations and investor relations programs she has developed and executed for clients over the years.
Before entering the field of PR, Kathryn served as the Assistant Director of Operations at Unicom Capital LLC, a Wall Street investment fund where she managed operations supporting the firm’s multimillion-dollar domestic and international trade accounts. Prior to Unicom Capital, Kathryn worked for Hanifen Imhoff, an investment banking firm.
