LIFESTYLE LETTER
The Inspiring Men in our Lives An inspirational man has the incredible power and privilege of shaping and mentoring the young people in their lives to grow and mature in a multitude of ways. Whether they are a father, a coach, an uncle or a boss, being a role model and leading by example can make a lasting impact on those watching. We can all probably think of a man in our life that has had a big impact on us at one time or another. Whether it was someone pushing us to be a better version of ourselves, or someone who sees the best in us, or someone we look up to for guidance, or perhaps someone we don’t personally know but that inspires us by their greatness, we can recognize the impact these role models can make our lives. This month we are honoring men and their contribution to the betterment of our community. We are highlighting men who put themselves second, work hard and inspire others to do the same. To all of the men out there that are making a difference in someone’s life, big or small, we applaud you. The lasting impact that you are making and the ripple effect that often ensues is worth it.

THE NEED FOR SPEED SCOTT MOLITOR, OWNER OF PARKER-BASED MOFAB, LLC, HAS THE PASSION—AND COMPASSION—IT TAKES TO GROW A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS
“As any new business owner will tell you, making the leap is scary, but you have to take the risk if you want a shot at the reward.” - Scott Molitor In 1997, Scott Molitor’s family moved to Parker—just in time to start his sophomore year at Ponderosa High School. “It was super traumatic for me,” he recalls. “Coming from a small town in Minnesota to Parker was a huge change.” Years later, with a thriving business and a family of his own, he can’t imagine living anywhere else.

Scott is the owner of Mofab, LLC, a performance automotive shop specializing in part installations, custom alignments, small fabrication work and engine tuning for both street and race cars. “My passion for cars started young,” Scott says. “I just wanted to make cars go fast, handle better, stop faster.” That’s exactly what Mofab is all about. Scott started his career working for an automotive shop in Parker that “made slow cars fast,” as his puts it. “It was a

dream job and I worked for them for almost seven years.” After gaining all that experience, he made the big decision in 2010 to go out on his own. “I didn't have any money—just my tools, experience and motivation.” The new business began in a rented warehouse unit in Parker. With a solid reputation and his then-girlfriend’s, now wife’s, help with accounting, the shop got so busy that Scott outgrew the space in a matter of months, moved to a larger location in Centennial and hired his first employee. Within 3 years, the business outgrew that space and found more space in Denver.
In 2017, Scott was approached by his old boss in Parker with an offer to buy the business where his career started. “I told him I wasn't interested in the business, per se, but I would be interested in the building and assets.” After some lengthy negotiating, they came to an agreement and he moved his old toolbox back to the building where it all began. “This time, it's my name on the door and I'm in charge,” Scott says. “There are a lot of different emotions that one feels in this situation, so many different lessons learned. As any new business owner will tell you, making the leap is scary but you have to take the risk if you want a shot at the reward.” Mofab has grown from that first employee to a team of six—and Scott is currently on the hunt for a manager. It seems Scott's business model may be ahead of its time—his shop runs on a four-day workweek. “I value time with my family and I want my team to have time with theirs as well.” It’s obvious that Scott cares deeply for his employees and wants the best for them. “This place wouldn’t exist without the team I have around me. It really does take a team to make a dream come true. These guys mean so much to me and I consider them part of my family.” Check out more of Mofab, LLC at mo-fab.com.

DADS OF CASTLE ROCK IS MORE THAN A MEN’S SOCIAL CLUB—IT’S A COMMUNITY OUTREACH ORGANIZATION THAT IS READY TO HELP ANYONE WHO NEEDS IT
From a group of six dads hanging out to a network of more than 2,000 members, the Dads of Castle Rock shows what a few good men can do to change a community—and maybe the world. From massive fundraisers to small (but no less important) acts of kindness, this 501(c)(3) nonprofit group defines the meaning of fellowship and goodwill. Meet the DoCR board of directors and get inspired to do something good.

A Network of Good
Robert Zearing
President of the Board and CEO Dad to Gracie, 11
WHY DID YOU START DADS OF CASTLE ROCK? It started as kind of a joke. If our wives could have a social group, why couldn’t we? That was in July 2019, and by November we decided we had so many good men that we knew we had to do something good. So, we filed the paperwork and became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. WHAT’S THE COOLEST THING YOU’VE DONE WITH DOCR? We have an annual “adopt a family” program. In 2019 we had four families 2019; last year, we helped 16 families. WHY SHOULD OTHER CASTLE ROCK DADS JOIN? We are a network of good. Every missing link that a town has, we try to fill that link. We help the community, and we help each other. WHAT’S THE PROCESS TO JOIN? The process is easy. Go to our Facebook page (@DoCRCO) and answer three questions. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT LIVING IN CASTLE ROCK? I’ve lived here for 16 years. I love the small-town vibe, even though it’s large and continues to grow. WHAT ELSE SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT DOCR OR CASTLE ROCK IN GENERAL? We’re a perfect example that there’s no action too small to make a difference. WHAT’S THE MOST PROFOUND CHANGE YOU’VE SEEN IN YOURSELF SINCE BECOMING A DAD? The ability to not make myself the top priority. Before I do something, I think about how it’s going to impact my family, not just me.

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING? I own a software company called Hamata Systems, Inc. My wife Traci and I have also started a nonprofit, Hamata Cares, to help create entrepreneurs by taking on the risk for them as they get their business started.
WHAT ARE A FEW THINGS YOU LOVE ABOUT LIVING IN CASTLE ROCK? I love the small-town, community feel. I love that it’s written in the town bylaws that events have to be family oriented. Even though we’re growing, we still hold those small-town values.
WHAT’S THE COOLEST THING YOU’VE DONE WITH DOCR? On the day of the Marshall Fire, we assembled at Sam’s Club to have a drive. People lined up to buy essentials and donate them. So many people showed up to help that we had to bring in CDOT to direct traffic. The coolest part was showing how quickly we can assemble. Forty people showed up to help collect donations on New Year’s Eve. It was awesome.
WHAT’S A PIECE OF ADVICE YOU’D GIVE TO A FAMILY THAT JUST MOVED THE CASTLE ROCK? Get connected: find a group like DoCR to join or introduce yourself to a family in town. That’s how you get plugged in quickly. WHAT’S THE MOST PROFOUND CHANGE YOU’VE SEEN IN YOURSELF SINCE BECOMING A DAD? Patience, especially with teenage daughters. I’m trying to slow down and pay attention because they grow so fast. CONTINUED > JUNE 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/CAST L E R O C K

WHY DO YOU LOVE BEING A PART OF DOCR? As just one example, I got COVID and was on a ventilator for six days and in the ICU for a couple weeks. These guys took care of me, and now can I give back to the dads and community by speaking and writing and helping motivate people. To me, this is so much more than being in a group— it’s my calling in life. Tell us about your work as a mental-health advocate and speaker. It came about with my experience in the military; I went overseas nine times and had some bad tours. I tried to commit suicide in 2013. After I got healthy, I traveled across the country speaking to corporations about it, and that has transferred to what I do with DoCR.
and find them. We can raise money, but when someone is in crisis, money is not the answer.
WHAT’S THE COOLEST THING YOU’VE DONE WITH DOCR? There’s no way to choose one thing—it’s more a culmination of the many ways we can help someone. When a dad is in crisis, we stop everything
WHAT’S THE MOST PROFOUND CHANGE YOU’VE SEEN IN YOURSELF SINCE BECOMING A DAD? I live for something bigger than myself. I am shaping a tiny human to live on as my legacy.

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING? I’m the owner of Southern Charm HVAC LLC. I started it a little over a year ago. WHY DID YOU JOIN DOCR? One of my buddies told me about the group and said I should join. I joined went to the second meeting the group held and thought, “These are my people.” I sort of fell into being on the board and I’ve been growing with them ever since. WHAT’S THE COOLEST THING YOU’VE DONE WITH DOCR? One of the most fun is our annual Halloween event. We get tons of families, and the kids dress up and enjoy a safe environment. I swear we go through about 1,000 pounds of candy. WHY SHOULD OTHER DADS JOIN? The community and brotherhood is amazing, whether you’re a first-time dad or you have 10 kids. There is always someone to talk to if you need advice. We’re there for each other.
If you live here or work here, you should join. You will never get a better vibe or a better group of people. WHAT ARE A FEW THINGS YOU LOVE ABOUT LIVING IN CASTLE ROCK? It’s a great town. There are a lot of cool people here and it’s easy to make a friend. It’s just so family forward. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO GO OR THING TO DO WITH YOUR KIDS IN CASTLE ROCK? We love to get gelato, hit the candy store, enjoy downtown, and hang out at Festival Park. It’s so laid back and easy going. WHAT’S A PIECE OF ADVICE YOU’D GIVE TO A FAMILY THAT JUST MOVED THE CASTLE ROCK? It’s worth the price to live here. The schools are amazing, and the people are a little kinder. There’s always someone willing to help and talk. WHAT’S THE MOST PROFOUND CHANGE YOU’VE SEEN IN YOURSELF SINCE BECOMING A DAD? I’m a little more patient than I used to be.

WHY DID YOU JOIN DOCR? I am one of the founding members. Our small group was hanging out and playing darts and cornhole, but after the first meeting, we knew we needed to take it to the next level and become a nonprofit outreach group. At the beginning, most of our fundraising was specific needs, and now we have a general funds for requests. With a network of 2,000 dads, we can identify and respond to virtually any request for help. WHAT’S THE COOLEST THING YOU’VE DONE WITH DOCR? All the milestones: Going from six of us in a brewery to the first meeting with 40 people. Having a fundraiser for a child with a brain tumor and seeing everyone to show up. There have been so many “wow” moments and they’re all special, no matter the size of the gatherings. WHAT ARE A FEW THINGS YOU LOVE ABOUT LIVING IN CASTLE ROCK? I’ve lived here for 21 years. It’s a great place to raise a family and put your roots down. I’ve been
to just shy of 100 countries, and I choose to live in Castle Rock. WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING? I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve started and sold many businesses, everything from computer chips to dietary supplements. WHAT’S A PIECE OF ADVICE YOU’D GIVE TO A FAMILY THAT JUST MOVED THE CASTLE ROCK? It’s a great place to raise a family, but even if you’ve already raised your children, you’ll still enjoy the amenities and sense of community. It may sound trite, but it’s a large town with a small-town feel. WHAT’S THE MOST PROFOUND CHANGE YOU’VE SEEN IN YOURSELF SINCE BECOMING A DAD? Your priorities change. I’ve always been an entrepreneur and we homeschool our kids, so I’ve been fortunate to have been around them all their life.

“I love you so much.” It’s one of Austin’s many remarkable and Instagrammable street murals but is also a love letter from locals and visitors alike who adore this “weird” and wonderful city in the South. The capital city of Texas is best known for having a personality of its own, one bursting with foodie and fashion finds, outdoor activities and “Austintatious” art creations, a booming sphere of pro sports experiences (we see you Formula 1 and Austin FC), and seven days a week of live music to boot. Did we mention it’s sunny nearly 300 days a year? It’s time to GET AWAY!

This month, our City Lifestyle family of travel enthusiasts are thrilled to collaborate with Visit Austin to introduce an exclusively curated guide to this lively destination paired with a GIVEAWAY* opportunity to win a 2-night trip for two, with round trip airfare from American Airlines! Sunny most days of the year, Austin is recognized for a myriad of outdoor experiences which you can experience both in downtown Austin with scenic views of the skyline, as well as the surrounding area, including local treasure, Lady Bird Lake. When it comes to luxury accommodations, one of the most stunning hotels in Austin is the Commodore Perry Estate. This striking and historic property, once a 10,800-square-foot private mansion known to host Jazz era social extravaganzas, has been transformed into a modern and European-influenced spectacular resort now open to the public.
Austin is renowned for pleasing palates, with an exceptional restaurant scene, including barbecue and tacos as its true soul foods. Pair your tacos with queso and the must-have margaritas for an authentic Tex-Mex meal, or indulge in Austin’s quintessential barbecue. Austin’s slowcooked, fall-off-the-bone brisket is a mouth-watering experience not to miss. Beyond barbecue and Tex-Mex is an entire mix of palate pleasers, from upscale Mediterranean and Asian to James Beard award-winning eateries. Geraldine’s inside Hotel Van Zandt is one of Austin’s iconic Rainey Street destinations. Equal parts restaurant, bar, rooftop and live music venue, Geraldine’s overlooks beautiful Lady Bird Lake and offers 4th f loor cabanas, a nightly concert lineup and a chef’s contemporary menu.

The Elephant Rock Cycling Festival, an outside event, kicks off the Colorado cycling season as thousands of cyclists partake in the 33rd annual pilgrimage to Castle Rock.
