Pathfinders Board of Directors
Kristin MacDermott
Dr. Archer Bishop
Kristin is a licensed professional counselor trained in marriage and family therapy.
Her passion to help people overcome the emotional and psychological effects of cancer led her to co-found Pathfinders in 2004 to provide low or no-cost counseling and volunteer support for families in the Roaring Fork Valley.
That same passion led her to found Reimagine (www.reimagine.me) in 2012, a Los Angeles-based company that helps families across the country reimagine cancer by teaching a proven curriculum of resiliency skills in live, online classes.
Kristin holds degrees from Duke and Antioch Universities, and was trained in mind-body medicine at the Center for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington, D.C. and at Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Archer Bishop, Jr., a retired, board certified orthopedic surgeon from Knoxville, moved to Aspen with his wife, Sandie, over a decade ago after a career spanning four decades.
Dr. Bishop was instrumental in building The Thompson Survival Center, a cancer center in Knoxville, and served as its Chairman from 1983-2008.
Since moving to Aspen, he has remained involved in the philanthropic community, supporting local organizations via the Bishop Family Foundation, as well as serving on the Board of Directors and as Chairman of the former Aspen Valley Medical Foundation. Most recently, he has accepted the role of inaugural Chairman of the newly formed Aspen Valley Hospital Foundation Board of Directors.
Dr. and Mrs. Bishop remain very active and enjoy traveling, spending time with their children and grandchildren, as well as on their horse ranch.
