The Team That Gives Us Our Edge

Mindy is a Colorado native from Denver and came to Fort Collins to attend CSU. She then studied abroad in Spain and came back to get a Masters in Educational Leadership at CSU. After teaching high school for a couple of years, she and Dr. B were expecting their oldest son and decided to start Edge Optics! Mindy has visited many countries but is always dreaming about the next adventure. She loves reading, the beach, hiking, and dancing while cooking. Mindy spends as much time outside as possible on the family farm; walking the dogs, feeding chickens, caring for goats, and chasing her two little boys with her husband, Dr. Bryant. These moments fill her heart with joy! Meeting and talking to people make Mindy the happiest….and she has a pair of sunglasses for every outfit.

Victoria Montoya

Patient Liaison

Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Victoria traded green chile for snow boots when she moved to Colorado nine years ago to attend the University of Northern Colorado. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Human Services and has been helping people ever since—now bringing her people skills to the world of optometry (where she’s finally seeing things clearly). Before joining the eye care world, Victoria spent years working in hospitality, bars, and events—so she knows a thing or two about staying cool under pressure and keeping people happy. She’s also worked in other healthcare settings, giving her a great mix of compassion and efficiency at the front desk while helping patients and supporting the doctors. Outside of work, you’ll find her cooking up something delicious, checking out live music, or hanging with her cat, Blaze—her most judgmental but loyal sidekick. She’s also a big fan of tattoos and sees them as a way to collect art you never lose.

We affectionately call Alex “Witty” as we have two Alex’s and this seems to fit Witty perfectly. Alex Witt hails from Denver, CO, and is recently engaged to the love of his life. Together, they share over 150 plants and enjoy their life in Northern Colorado. Witty came to us with hefty managerial experience, and we were excited to see how quickly he could learn the skills and knowledge of Opticianry. Witty is sharp-witted (pun intended) and will be sure to brighten our day with his dry humor and positive outlook. He brings joy to the art of looking for glasses, and he is also a wiz at setting up our inventory projects and inputting all frames into the database. Witty will be your go-to for finding the perfect pair of glasses!
