Hi, I’m Sam, the proud new owner of Bust Out Colorado—the first mobile escape room in the state! I guide teams through exciting escape room challenges designed to boost collaboration, problem-solving, and connection. To take it a step further, I also include personality assessments so teams can walk away knowing themselves—and each other—a whole lot better.

Before stepping into business ownership, I spent 12 years in the U.S. Army and built a career with 17 years in human resources. Most recently, I served as an HR Consultant for the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I focused on employee engagement, professional development, and training.

Through that journey, I discovered my passion: combining structured HR expertise with innovative, hands-on team-building exercises. Great teams don’t just happen—they’re built through trust, communication, and a little bit of shared challenge. That’s why I love creating events that are not only impactful but also unforgettable.

As a veteran-owned business, I’m proud to bring the values of resilience, teamwork, and problem-solving into every event I host. And let’s be honest—who doesn’t love breaking out of a (pretend) jail cell on wheels?

If you’re ready to shake up your next team event, build stronger connections, and have some fun along the way—I’d love to help you bust out of the ordinary.
