   Richard Romito: Romito Foundation

   Richard Romito is a respected law-enforcement professional with 31 years of service and a strong commitment to protecting, educating, and serving his community. During his career, he served as a sergeant in two of the three law-enforcement agencies where he worked. He is a Colorado POST-certified firearms instructor and holds instructor certifications in defensive tactics, emergency vehicle operations, and several other areas of law-enforcement training. Richard also served as a member of the peer support team, providing support and guidance to fellow law-enforcement professionals during difficult and challenging times. Throughout his career, Richard has been guided by the values of integrity, accountability, compassion, and public service. He has used his experience not only to protect his community but also to train, mentor, and support others. Richard is also the President and CEO of the Romito Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular disorders. This mission is deeply personal to Richard and his family. He is the father of four sons, three of whom have been diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Under Richard’s leadership, the Romito Foundation creates family outings and special events, provides much-needed respite opportunities for caregivers, and helps children and young adults participate in power wheelchair soccer. The Foundation works to replace isolation with community, fear with hope, and uncertainty with opportunities for families to create lasting memories together. As Richard transitions from his law-enforcement career to focus full-time on his family and the Romito Foundation, he continues to follow the same purpose that has guided him throughout his life: serving others, strengthening his community, and making a meaningful difference for families. “This Disease Does Not Define You.” Richard Romito President/CEO Romito Foundation richard.romito@romitofoundation.org 303-718-2538 romitofoundation.org
