Si Hablo Espanol

Mindy is a Colorado native from Denver and came to Fort Collins to attend CSU. She then studied abroad in Spain and came back to get a Masters in Educational Leadership at CSU. After teaching high school for a couple of years, she and Dr. B were expecting their oldest son and decided to start Edge Optics! Mindy has visited many countries but is always dreaming about the next adventure. She loves reading, the beach, hiking, and dancing while cooking. Mindy spends as much time outside as possible on the family farm; walking the dogs, feeding chickens, caring for goats, and chasing her two little boys with her husband, Dr. Bryant. These moments fill her heart with joy! Meeting and talking to people make Mindy the happiest….and she has a pair of sunglasses for every outfit.

From getting his first pair of glasses at the age of 2, he is no stranger to optometrists and the environment they cultivate to get their patients the best for their eye care needs.
