Galen Scheidenhelm Profile

After reading from the sidelines for nearly a decade, I was thrilled to join the Left Hand Valley Courier as a staff writer in the summer of 2022.

My previous journalistic experience includes reporting on pressing high school scoops as a features writer for the Boulder High Owl (back when newspaper articles were chiseled on cave walls). It feels good to stretch the journalism muscles after such a long hiatus.

I am a proud Boulder native but spread solid roots over a decade in New York City, where my better half Jenna and I started our family. If you're asking, I love the Mets and the Rockies equally and can often be found at Coors field wearing a Mets jersey with a Rockies hat or vice-versa.

By day, you'll find me running a small web design and digital solutions company along with my brother. After work hours, you'll most often find me coaching youth baseball & soccer, skiing, camping, and spending quality time with my wife, our two boys, Atticus and Sage, our dog Falcon and our cat Izzy.
