Vice-President Elijah Hatch, County Councilman At-Large, has resided in Weld County for over thirty years. He moved to Weld County with his family at the age of nine as they slowly migrated to Colorado from Florida. He attended grade/high school in Kersey, CO graduating in 1998. After high school, he attended Aims Community College before entering the workforce.
He spent the next ten years working in the IT industry, building the first wireless ISP networks across Northern Colorado. From there he took over the family weed control business and spent the next several years developing it into a multi-million-dollar corporation. In recent years, Elijah has started several other businesses ranging from IT Networking & Security, automotive repair, toy development and production, to transportation and photovoltaic energy (SOLAR) production.
Over the past several years Elijah has volunteered his time to Weld County averaging 500+ hours per year. As the current Chairman of the Weld County Planning Commission, past President of the Weld County Fair Board, and Councilman At Large for the Weld County Council, Elijah believes in giving back to his community. When he is not working or volunteering, Elijah spends his time with his wife and four children. They enjoy working on their ranch, training horses, ice fishing and cheering on their favorite hockey team “Go Avs”.
