Meet the Owner
Nina Anderson, SPHR
I am the proud owner & CEO of
Express Employment in Grand Junction and Montrose and I get people
jobs! In 2007 I started this business from the ground up, and I’m
honored to say I’ve put 7,433 people in jobs with over 700 companies during
that time. That’s nearly 500 every year – now that’s economic impact!
Prior to owning Express Employment, I was a senior HR executive
of a publicly traded medical device development and manufacturing company with
locations in Boulder, Minnesota, and Arizona.
I’ve had a great career of helping people find their success.
I am also a 1st generation college graduate that started college
as a non-traditional student having completed high school many years prior. I
thank Regis University, School of Professional Studies for being on the cutting
edge of distant learning in the early 90’s for helping me achieve that success.
But who I really am...
is a 4th generation Colorado native and a proud decedent of
homesteaders and sheep ranchers. I contribute to western Colorado success by
exhibiting the values of tenacity and hard work.
From gathering eggs for great grandma to waking at 4 am to help
grandpa feed sheep in the winter, I know, in western Colorado, we do what ever
it takes.
It was my mom, my sister, and I whom dad counted on to get the
hay out of the field so he could go to work, because that’s what it took.
It was my first job, of which I was so proud to have gotten on
my own, where I use a concert of 5-gallon buckets to sit on and peel potatoes
for fresh French fries at the old school drive-in, because that’s what it took.
Nina is an active member of the Grand Junction Area Chamber of
