Most people never think to ask their driver one simple question before heading into the mountains.
What happens if something goes wrong?
I asked myself that question before I ever took my first client to Vail — and I’ve been building my answer ever since.
What Most Drivers Don’t Carry
A clean car. A pressed shirt. A phone mount with Google Maps.
That’s the standard. And for a run from downtown Denver to DIA, it’s probably enough.
But when you’re navigating a two-lane highway above 10,000 feet — 45 minutes from the nearest hospital, cell signal dropping in and out — the standard isn’t sufficient.
I didn’t build Colorado Luxury Driver around the standard.
What I Bring to Every Mountain Run
When you ride with me, here’s what comes with you:
CPR Certification — I hold active CPR certification for both adults and children. I’ve trained for cardiac and breathing emergencies, not just read about them.
First Aid Certificate — Formal training, not a YouTube playlist. I know how to assess and respond to a medical situation while we wait for help to arrive.
Fully Stocked First Aid Kit — 
A well-equipped kit does nothing if the person holding it doesn’t know how to use it. I carry both.
Satellite Texting Capability — No cell signal doesn’t mean no help. When we’re truly off the grid, I carry satellite communication that lets me reach emergency services when conventional channels fail. This isn’t a luxury add-on. It’s the difference between a bad situation and a tragedy.
Why I Take This Seriously
I spent 35 years as a pharmaceutical business executive — over 2,000 hotel nights, 14 years of elite flyer status, and hundreds of miles in the back of town cars and SUVs across the country.
I know exactly what it feels like to put your safety in someone else’s hands.
Your driver controls the vehicle. Your driver controls the pace. And if something goes wrong on a remote mountain road, your driver is the first — and sometimes only — line of response.
That responsibility doesn’t sit lightly with me.
The Question You Should Ask Every Driver
Before you book your next mountain transfer — to Vail, Aspen, Telluride, Breckenridge, or anywhere else the road climbs above the treeline — ask your driver one question:
What do you carry in case of an emergency?
The answer will tell you everything.
If you’re looking for a luxury chauffeur that Denver executives and their assistants trust from the Front Range to the summit, I’d be glad to earn that conversation.
