Wharton's community involvement includes serving on the boards of the Steamboat Springs
Rotary Club and the Young Life youth ministry committee. He is also a former member of
Mainstreet Steamboat Springs' board of directors.
It's easy for Wharton to be passionate about Steamboat, to which he moved in 2004. The
Pennsylvania native moved to Colorado in 1989 and always had his eye on the Yampa Valley.
"Coming to Steamboat was somewhat of a dream come true for me," Wharton said. "People truly
care and help each other whether you've been here all your life or four months."
Wharton and his wife, Amy, have three sons, collectively known as P, B and J (Peter, 8, Ben, 12,
and John, 13). While some fret about all the changes Steamboat is experiencing, Wharton said
he is excited about the future.
"I think people are passionate enough about it," Wharton said. "Nobody wants to lose what we
moved here for."
