Eric Brotherson
Human Resources Manager
Eric grew up Kansas City, Kansas, and still loves the barbecue. This K-State Wildcat studied human resources management at Kansas State University. Before joining Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in 2008 and then the Iron Mountain Hot Springs in 2014, he worked in human resources for the Aspen Skiing Company for almost four years and at a ski shop in Summit County, Colorado, for three years. He enjoys spending time with his wife and two young children, gardening and sports — as he puts it, “anything with a score.”
Eric chose Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park because it was a smaller, more intimate company where he could know everyone. He brings excitement, energy and support to the team to allow all employees to achieve their goals.
Heather Austin
Marketing & Sales Manager
Born and raised as a Midwesterner (Rockford, Illinois), I was drawn to Colorado after enjoying many holiday ski trips in the beautiful Colorado Rockies. Immediately after college (Western Illinois University) and having majored in Parks and Recreation Administration, I knew that I wanted to work in the hospitality business and inspire others to have fun and enjoy life.
Initially, the hotel industry was a good fit and I spent several years working in hotels such as Ramada Inn, Breckenridge Hilton, and the Silverthorne Lodge. My interest in computers and technology set in motion a career in Internet Marketing and I spent the last 10 years with Blizzard Internet Marketing which involved marketing for the hospitality industry.
In November 2015, my blended experience of the hospitality and marketing brought me to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park and Iron Mountain Hot Springs. I am incredibly lucky to be working for such great leaders and an awesome team. Along with enjoying my job, I always look forward to summers to take in the beautiful Colorado scenery by way of camping and rafting with my husband and two teenage daughters.
