Alex Hannum
Parent Representative
board@odysseydenver.orgMy name is Alex Hannum and I have been an Odyssey parent since the fall of 2020. This year our daughter Bria will be in Lori’s 4th Grade Crew and our son Maxwell will be in Anne’s First Grade Crew. I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to see our kids learn, grow and thrive at Odyssey! I’ve been lucky enough to accompany both on adventure trips, where I’ve been able to see the Odyssey “Special Sauce” in action! In addition I’ve been a member of the Family Council since 2020, which my wife Sara will be co-chairing this year. Outside of Odyssey, I’m a Vice President/Senior Project manager for a large commercial roofing contractor that focuses on high end projects like hospitals, schools and prisons. In that role I get to lead multiple teams manage project budgets, to ensure they are completed on time and on budget. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism from Colorado State University and am a graduate of the Future Executives Institute, an intensive 3-year Masters level course at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management. In our free time, our family loves to hike, visit the pool and enjoy relaxing evenings together watching movies.

Kelley Krupicka, Chair
Parent Representative, Chair Elect
board@odysseydenver.orgMy name is Kelley Krupicka, I am the mom of James (2nd Grade) and Emma (4th Grade). I work in Human Resources for a start-up. My family on the weekends enjoy the outdoors and you will find us biking, playing at the park, or just hanging out in our backyard. I have always enjoyed supporting and volunteering for organizations that make a difference for kids from being a summer camp counselor in high school, school lunch buddy in college or help to running a kid’s program. I am excited to have the opportunity to possibly be a part of the Odyssey Board to support the school because the school has incredible staff, community, and students.
