Billy Dias has been a resident of Colorado Springs since 1977. Graduated Mitchell High School in 1983. He has worked in local construction for close to 30 years as a custom tile installer, often in older homes in Colorado Springs Northside and some historic buildings downtown. Enjoys seeking out and photographing older structures on the Eastern plains, San Luis Valley, coalfield camps in Southern Colorado, and mining structures in the Victor/Cripple Creek area in his spare time.

I am honored to be nominated to serve on the Board of the Historical Preservation Alliance. I moved to Colorado Springs in August 2019 after a 23-year career with a private development firm in Houston, Texas, where I served as Regional Supervisor overseeing the construction, management, and maintenance of multiple luxury mid-rise communities. Over the last decade, my passion for bringing vision and purpose to existing historic structures has deepened, particularly since making Colorado Springs my home. Since relocating, I have supported my husband’s commercial civil construction company, Terra Builders LLC, in various roles. Outside of work, I am a proud mother to one daughter and “Gigi” to two wonderful grandchildren in Sandpoint, Idaho. My husband Stephan and I have been together since 2002, sharing a love of travel, hiking, gardening, and healthy cooking. We aspire to become expert campers in the years ahead, though our favorite escape remains the remote islands of the Bahamas. I look forward to contributing my experience, energy, and dedication to the mission of the Historical Preservation Alliance, and to working alongside the board to preserve and celebrate the history that enriches our community.
