Harold Smethills
"Sterling Ranch - a vision of the future"

Learn about a remarkable new proposed 3400 acre master planned development in North Douglas County just South of Littleton; Sterling Ranch. The principal mover and shaker behind this project is Harold Smethills.

A third-generation Coloradan, he enjoys the state's Western heritage as a rancher and outdoorsman. He is a retired Colonel from the Colorado Air National Guard and was the recipient of the Legion of Merit. He received his BSBA in Finance from the University of Denver as well as his MBA and Juris Doctor. The chairman of Wings Over the Rockies Museum, Harold inherited his love of aviation from his mother, a pilot in the Civil Air patrol during WWII, and his father, commander of the Civil Air Patrol in the 1940's. Harold also chairs the Board of American Studies Institute, and he and wife Diane, a Sterling Ranch partner, are very involved in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes.
