The Great Bend Recreation Commission welcomes Joe Henry to the Rec team as the Business Director. Joe is married to his wife, Lindsey, for 17 years and together they have two girls, Lily (13) and Elise (10). Their transition from Colorado to Kansas began in 2021 and are pleased to establish themselves in central Kansas.
Joe’s strong conviction in pursuing a “dream job” is discovering an organization that allows passion and personal values to merge. He considers himself fortunate in joining GBRC, an organization that aims for this sentiment while striving for excellence in improving the lives of the community members through recreation.
Joe was born in McPherson and moved to Loveland, Colorado when he was six. His entire life was built surrounded by recreation and outdoors where he became involved in hiking, cycling, rock-climbing, camping and organized team sports. Joe loves people, values togetherness, and believes we are healthier in connection with one another.
Joe has over 20 years of business experience and received a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Family Studies from the University of Northern Colorado, as well as a master’s degree in Psychology from Colorado Christian University.
