aimee moberg | operations coordinator

Aimee is originally from the Midwest (Cheesehead forever!) and made her way out West right after graduating college.

The saying "Come for the winter, stay for the summer" definitely took a hold of Aimee and she hasn't looked back! She worked at an outdoor guiding service in town for seven and half years and eventually worked her way up to Office Administrator where she oversaw all daily operations. She found her nerdy passion in office admin work— looking for new creative ways to work smarter but not necessarily harder. She finally started feeling like she wanted something different and outside of her comfort zone so here she is helping protect open space in the area she loves dearly! 

When she isn't working she can most likely be found trail running, hiking, camping in the desert, or drinking at breweries with her partner Seth and their two dogs (Shadow and Maple).

Niels Vernegaard | Treasurer

Niels and Pam Vernegaard moved to Park City in 2014. After a career in healthcare management, they wanted to settle in a town where they could ski, hike, camp and where their kids would be calling them to ask, "can we come". What better place than Park City, Utah.

Christina Story | executive committee

Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Christina spent her formative years playing competitive club soccer around the Southeast, as well as from coast to coast and visiting extended family in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina.  After completing her bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2008, she headed west to Park City, Utah to teach skiing at Deer Valley and work in the outdoor recreation industry in the summer.  While working at Deer Valley, she obtained her PSIA Level 3 Alpine certification and was recognized as Children’s Instructor of the year.  She decided to make Utah her permanent home after completing a Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology (2015) back at UNC, realizing what a blessing the outdoor spaces in the area are! She has worked at the Huntsman Cancer Institute’s Wellness & Integrative Health Center as an Exercise Specialist, helping cancer patients regain their fitness and improve their health during and after treatment. 

In her free time, Christina enjoys skiing & biking, and the occasional backpacking or canyoneering trip to a remote location.  She and her husband, Lukas, have also traveled extensively, exploring the wilderness of other stunning places such as Nepal, Patagonia, Costa Rica and Alaska.   Christina and Lukas welcomed a son, Keenan, in 2019 and have enjoyed introducing him to the open spaces around Park City with frequent hikes.  Christina has not found a place with more beauty and easier access than the open spaces in Summit County and the Wasatch Back, and wishes to protect and preserve these spaces for the future generations of residents, and visitors alike.  These spaces are a large part of what makes our community so desirable but without the preservation of the access, wildlife and ecology, the community loses more than just land.

julia geisler

Julia Geisler joined the Summit Land Conservancy’s Board of Directors in 2023. She grew up in Deep Creek Lake, Maryland, a rural agricultural and mining town with a ski area called WISP. Night skiing in the rain and sleet during her youth inspired her to seek drier powder and bigger mountains. Discovering a passion for rock climbing sealed the deal to call Park City home two decades ago.

She brings a perspective of the intersection between recreation and conservation to the organization, serving as the executive director of a climbing advocacy and stewardship non-profit called the Salt Lake Climbers Alliance. She also understands our tourism economy, being owner and founder of Park City Yoga Adventures.

The sounds of birds in the morning and coyotes at night have disappeared around her home at the Mayflower. Backhoes have replaced fields of sage and mountains of forest with mega hotels, private resorts, and homes. She feels that through Summit Land Conservancy’s efforts, we have the privilege and means to save peaceful, open desert landscapes from the blight of urban sprawling rooftops and pavement; replenishing the Great Salt Lake and protecting landscapes that invigorate and soothe the soul. 

SHARI GOTTLEIB

Shari is new to the Summit Land Conservancy’s Board, joining in April 2018. She spent most of her life living in Florida.

She spent 11 years as a Communications and Public Relations specialist for The City of Jacksonville, Florida, until her path took a different turn. Shari soon became a shareholder in a medical billing business, which enabled her to spend more time at home with her children during their formative years. After moving to Park City in 2008, Shari took solace in the open spaces here and fell in love with the concept of the ability to “just be”. In this age of rapidly advancing technology, the importance of being able to embrace the outdoors and “wander where the wi-fi is weak” is a concept that is waning. As an empty-nester with two grown children, Shari is thrilled to be able to spend some time giving back to the organization that protects the land that enables all of us to “just be”.
