Who Are We?
Board of Advisors
Deeper Roots is guided by a Board of Advisors—men who help keep our circles practical, grounded, and genuinely welcoming.
Karl Buechler
Karl Buechler is a married dad to a young son and grew up in Ohio. He writes software for a living and likes hockey, building things, and trying out ideas that sometimes turn into small ventures. Karl’s calm, straightforward way of talking about work, stress, and family is part of what he offers to the Board and to the men who come through the group.
Ryan Downs
Ryan Downs paints cars for a living and takes pride in doing careful, solid work. He’s married and a new dad, and most days he’d rather be outside—on a trail, near water, or just walking in the neighborhood. Ryan shows up as a steady presence on the Board, interested in how ordinary men can slow down a bit, tell the truth, and feel more at home in their own lives.
Paul Madden
Paul Madden is a software engineer who enjoys traveling and seeing how other people live and think. At home, he and his wife share the simple rhythms of caring for their cat and staying connected with friends. Paul brings a thoughtful, low‑key curiosity to the Board, asking honest questions about how men can live with more integrity and ease without having everything “figured out.”
Craig Wright
Craig Wright is a professional engineer and business relationship manager, originally from Alaska. He’s a loving dad to three kids and spends a lot of his free time on the ice playing hockey or out on his dirt bike. Craig cares about practical, everyday questions men face in work and family life, and he brings that down‑to‑earth perspective to the Board of Advisors.
Facilitators
Eddie Loehr
Eddie Loehr has spent time coaching, helping out, and sitting in men’s groups, so he’s familiar with both simply being in the circle and quietly supporting it. His sweet spot is music—singing, playing guitar, or taking in a good show—and he likes getting out on hikes in the Boulder foothills on warm days. Eddie is drawn to men’s work for the simple things it can offer: a bit more ease, steady personal growth, and real friendship and community among men.
