The Schumacher family has owned and operated Three Rivers Resort since 1983. Mark moved from Chicago in 1971 to attend Western State College (its name then!). His Bachelor’s degree and subsequent years of construction work helped prepare him for the demands and challenges of resort ownership. Over the years numerous cabins have been built and/or renovated, a restaurant and Outfitting business have been added, the General Store has been expanded and a myriad of other improvements and growth have been implemented. Mark has always been very community-involved, serving as President of both the Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District and Chamber of Commerce and on the boards of the Planning Commission, Tourism Association and local Hockey Association. He is a golf and fishing enthusiast, bird hunter and occasional mountain biker and skier as well!
Mark and Mary Jo are an owner-operator team. She oversees the management and operations of the Housekeeping department. Guidelines for the cleaning and presentation of each cabin are strict, the goal being to prepare each one as if a guest were visiting her own home. She loves the outdoor mountain activities like running, hiking, biking and skiing. Mary Jo has also served on local boards, including the Chamber of Commerce, Kids Kount, Mentors, Friends of the Library and Hockey Moms.
The Schumacher children grew up on-site and from young ages worked at the resort in many capacities. Presently Sarah has moved onto a career in Nursing, while Dirk and Luke have joined the year-round staff of Three Rivers Resort as Resort Managers.
