Jericho Bois

Senior Finance Analyst – Mountain Metropolitan Transit

My name is Jericho Bois and I’m a Senior Finance Analyst at MMT (Mountain Metropolitan Transit), City of Colorado Springs. I have been with MMT for over 5 years. I began as a Finance Technician and was in the role for 2.5 years. During that time, I formed a solid foundation in Transit Finance. I was promoted to a Finance Analyst and in April 2024, promoted to Senior Finance Analyst. I had a background in finance and accounting before joining MMT, but the knowledge I have gained through this employment is tremendous. I was born and raised in Maine and my husband, son and I moved to Colorado Springs in 2015. As much as I miss the East Coast, I feel myself and my family would not be where we are today if we hadn’t moved to Colorado. We have had so many wonderful opportunities, both personally and professionally. In my spare time I enjoy skiing, hiking, reading and spending time with my family including our 3 dogs and 2 cats.

Brandy McMeekin

Supervisor – Northeastern Colorado Association of Local Governments/NECALG

I am born and raised in Yuma. My first job was in the pizza industry, where I progressively advanced to the role of shift manager. For twelve years, I focused on in-home childcare, that allowed me to stay home and raise my two children. In addition, I engaged in various part-time roles until the opportunity arose to work at County Express.

My son is employed with Central Plains Equipment as a Mechanic and my daughter recently became a Certified EMT.

In my leisure time, I enjoy camping, attending dinner theater performances, and spending quality moments with family and friends.

Andrew Mylroie

Transportation Coordinator – Mountain Express Transit

I grew up in central Utah with 9 siblings. I learned early on that if I wanted something I was going to have to work for it. Growing in rural Utah I had the opportunity to work on many farms running tractors and other farm equipment.

I started my working career in heavy equipment. I first started working on a mobile crusher system crushing aggregate for a cement company. This included feeding a crusher, pushing overburden and even drilling & blasting. I loved this type of work, but it became very monotonous, and I knew I needed to find a bigger challenge. I then went into construction traveling around the western U.S. as a contractor doing work on military base’s working for a metal stud framing company. After spending a few years living out of motel rooms and moving from project to project I landed back in Utah and went back to crushing rock.

I learned quickly this was not the life for me. I then moved to Durango, Colorado and started working as an excavation contractor. I got to build custom homes in the summertime and plow snow in the winters for Purgatory ski resort. After spending 15 years in Durango, I met my other half who convinced me to move to San Antonio.

While in Texas I became a Professional Building Inspector. After 6 years in Texas, we got the opportunity to move back to Colorado and started working for Archuleta County. This is when I got my current position as Transportation Coordinator. While public transportation has its challenges I love my job, It’s so nice to provide such a great service to the community. I never thought I would love working in transportation so much.
