About Cordova Equipment Services

Cordova Equipment Services is a woman-owned local partnership focused on fire mitigation and complete outdoor land work. We combine forestry and wildfire mitigation knowledge with excavation and general outdoor skills, so property owners get one reliable team for the jobs that matter.

Owner Rebecca Connet leads the company. Darin Connet and Chris Denison, two former professional freestyle motocross athletes, run the field work. They traded handlebars for chainsaws and skid steer controls, and now put those skills to work restoring and protecting the forests of Douglas County and the Front Range.

The team

Rebecca Connet, owner of Cordova Equipment Services

Rebecca Connet

Owner · Administration, finance & project controls

Business owner, accountant, entrepreneur, motocross racer and volunteer. Rebecca wears a lot of hats, plus the occasional helmet and hard hat. A longtime Douglas County resident, she has seen what wildfire can do to families who lose their homes, and years on the administrative side of construction companies taught her to run outdoor and equipment work with honesty, integrity and an eye for detail.

Rebecca leads strategy, estimating, documentation, invoicing and cost tracking, the systems that keep every project transparent and dependable. She wants every customer treated the way she'd want her own family treated.

Darin Connet

Field operations, construction & equipment

Heavy equipment operator, mechanic, farmer, fabricator and outdoorsman, with multiple national action sports titles on the side. Anyone who says "jack of all trades, master of none" hasn't met Darin.

Darin is the backbone of our equipment work. He assesses site conditions, plans the approach, runs the machines and makes sure the finished job is practical and done right. Customers love him for seeing every project through to the finish line. He also knows more about heavy equipment than most people know about their lunch.

Operations, client communication & project development

Chris has lived in the mountains of Sedalia since he was three months old and grew up with clippers in one hand and a saw in the other, clearing the family property and processing firewood to heat the house. An Eagle Scout and lifelong camper, he has seen his share of lightning strikes, wildfires and close calls, so fire mitigation is personal.

A professional athlete from age 16, Chris spent nearly two decades as a stunt performer on major Hollywood films, where safety and precision aren't optional. He leads field operations, project planning and client communication, making sure every job has a clear scope, realistic expectations and consistent follow-through. He also has an unnatural love of hard manual labor.
