Here’s what to expect. A bunch of dudes grab dinner and hang out for a bit. The facilitators will throw out a conversation topic for the guys to converse about. At the end of the evening, hopefully you connect with one or more dudes to hang with outside of the dinners as well!
If you have other questions or want to connect directly, email us at ConiferCO@dudetalkdinners.org.

Meet Your Facilitators
Conifer dinners are led by volunteer facilitators from right here in the Conifer area. They’re not therapists, just local dudes who believe in the power of showing up for each other.
Ronnie
Facilitator
I am a Relationship Manager with Huntington Bank who partners with business owners as a trusted resource and connector, bringing a relationship-first, long-term approach to my work.
A proud Marine Corps veteran, I live in Conifer, Colorado and am deeply engaged in my local community. I serve on the Board of Leadership Evergreen and am an active member of both the Evergreen and Conifer Chambers of Commerce. I am passionate about connecting people, building meaningful relationships, and strengthening the community around me.
I became a Dude Talk Dinners facilitator out of a sincere passion for men’s mental health and the belief that strong communities are built through authentic connection. I am committed to creating a space where men can come together to share challenges, celebrate victories, and have honest conversations without judgment. Through these gatherings, I hope to foster lasting friendships and a support system that empowers men to live healthier, more fulfilled lives—and to positively impact their families, relationships, and communities.
I am a certified mindfulness meditation teacher (CMT-P, Professional Level) through the International Mindfulness Teachers Association (IMTA) and a graduate of the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP) led by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. My work in mindfulness reflects a deep commitment to mental health, self-awareness, and personal growth.
