Frederick Maes truly understands the value of education. The year that he was born, his father received a master’s degree in education from Adams State College. As a child, his father would take him to school, where he observed his father doing his job first as a teacher, then as principal, and finally as Superintendent of Schools for District R-1 in southern Colorado. He attended a college preparatory high school, “Holy Cross Abbey,” and learned the value of discipline in scholarship. Frederick Maes graduated from Denver University thoroughly with a degree in art in 1974. Upon graduating, he worked as an Art teacher in San Luis, the Oldest Town in Colorado. He taught art for four years and thoroughly enjoyed his teaching experience. Two of his students have become prominent artists here in Colorado. Huberto Maestas is recognized for his religious works, including the “Stations of the Cross.” Emilio Lobato won best of show at the Cherry Creek Art Festival for his striking work in printmaking. Frederick attended Law School at Denver University and has practiced law in the Denver Metro Area for forty years. He received great satisfaction from helping people who could not help themselves. He also served for several years as the President of the Denver Spanish Ministerial Alliance. With this background, it is no surprise that Mr. Maes is passionate about encouraging young people to excel in their studies and strongly supports their educational opportunities.
