John Hildebrandt, DDS, Member at Large

John Hildebrandt has been a member of the Emergency Incident Support (EIS) team since 2019. He learned about the organization from Roger Lance (one of the founders of EIS) while both serving on the board of directors for the Tri-Lakes Monument Fire Protection District (TLMFPD). John began his public service commitment as treasurer, to the Tri-Lakes Fire department beginning in 1997 with a mostly volunteer organization. Since then, Tri-Lakes Fire Protection District has merged with Woodmoor/Monument Fire district forming the current TLMFPD; now a career department with three stations, a centrally located office location, 51 full time personnel and a budget just over $11 million. John currently serves the position of board president for TLFPD since 2019.

Looking back…John was an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, established a successful practice, Oral Surgery Associates of Colorado Springs, in 1981 and retired after more than 38 years of practice in January of 2020. He and his wife Bonnie, a registered nurse, have raised two children Kelsey & Daniel. Kelsey & Ryan Belsher have gifted them with 2 grandchildren, two masters degrees, volunteer activities in the community and healthy livelyhoods. Daniel is currently in medical school and engaged to Chelsea Moss, a captain in the Space Force.

John has developed a deep understanding, appreciation and respect for first responders. He recognizes the support they need and how they benefit from the organization; EIS provides this support remarkably well. He has been appointed to the board of directors for EIS as well as serving in the role of coordinator; monitoring calls and coordinating responses for emergency incidents such as fire, law enforcement, search and rescue. John has a high level of regard and appreciation for all members of EIS and its service to the community.
