About Me

My name is Adam Eggleston and I am running for Fort Collins City Council District 2. I have lived, worked, and played in Fort Collins since moving here 27 years ago. I moved here with my parents and 3 brothers from southern California in the early ’90s. My parents moved us to Colorado knowing that it would be the best place to raise 4 energetic boys. I was lucky to attend both Preston Middle School and Fort Collins High School shortly after they were built. After graduating from Fort Collins High School in 2002, with a letter and bars in theatre, I found myself in the auto industry as a sales consultant, manager, trainer, and pretty much any other position I was needed. I spent a wonderful decade in the auto industry, before finding my true calling as a REALTOR and helping folks buy and sell homes. In my personal life, I enjoy a good beer on a nice patio, a round of disc golf, lively conversation over coffee,  relaxing drives up the canyon and hanging out with a group of close friends that I have known since high school. I also help my father raise my two nephews and it is truly enjoyed seeing them grow into little guys.

My Recipe for Chocolate Stout Fudge

Ingredients

• 1 Jar Marshmallow (7oz)
• 1 1/2 Cup Sugar
• 1/3 Cup Evaporated Milk
• 1/3 Cup Stout Beer (Sad Panda from Horse and Dragon or Woodchip Porter from Maxline is really good)
• 1/4 plus 1 oz Butter
• 3 Cups of Chocolate Chips ( I prefer 2 Cups Dark, 1 Cup Milk Chocolate)
• Pinch of Salt
• 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
• Optional: Add a little beer salt from Old Town Spice Shop to give a nice little finishing pop of favor.

Instructions

1. Melt butter with the milk and beer. Bring to a light simmer.
2. Stir in marshmallow and sugar until well combined (smooth).
3. Remove from heat.
4. Add a pinch of salt and vanilla.
5. Slowly add chocolate chips while stirring.
6. Once smooth pour into a tinfoil lined brownie pan.
7. Place in the refrigerator or freezer to set overnight.

Enjoy!
