Monica & David Kowalski are the wife-and-husband founders behind Lebowski’s Taproom and Lebowski’s Kool-Luah Coffee Liqueur, two Colorado-born brands built on community, creativity, and an unapologetically good time.

Entrepreneurs at heart, Monica and David launched Lebowski’s Taproom in Colorado Springs as more than just a bar or restaurant—it was designed as a welcoming neighborhood hub where craft beverages, pop-culture events, and genuine hospitality collide.

Under their leadership, the taproom quickly became known for its playful personality, innovative cocktails, themed events, bingo & trivia nights, and unwavering commitment to community involvement.

Together, Monica and David have built their brands with a strong focus on community engagement, philanthropy, and local partnerships, supporting everything from Special Olympics athletes to neighborhood fundraisers and cultural events.

Their approach blends hospitality, entertainment, and storytelling into scalable brands that resonate with guests, partners, and fans alike.

At the core of everything they do is a simple belief: great drinks, great people, and memorable experiences create lasting businesses—and even better communities.

Congressman Morgan Luttrell will not be running for re-election. This has opened up the field and US Army combat Veteran Nick Tran has tossed his hat into the ring!"To me, America stands as a shining beacon of hope for humanity. Our Constitutional Republic is a rare and precious entity that must be defended with unwavering resolve. My dedication to this country stems from deep gratitude; I believe in its ideals so profoundly that I willingly put myself in harm’s way, serving on the front lines during multiple deployments to protect what it represents.Now, I stand ready to return to the fray and fight for our freedom right here at home. Our house is fractured, and the only way to restore unity is by prioritizing Americans and our interests. Allow me to be your champion in making our country safer, stronger, and more prosperous.Let’s not just make America great again – let’s strive to make her greater than ever before."Nick Tran for Congress

“The Longbow Foundation didn’t begin in a boardroom—it took flight in the cockpit of an Apache Longbow over Afghanistan. Amid high-stakes missions and sleepless nights, I witnessed the burden carried by those who serve. It was in those moments—between adrenaline and silence—that the vision for Longbow was born: to stand by veterans long after the battle ends.

After nine years in military aviation and over 1,200 flight hours—200 in combat—I had the honor of supporting some of the world’s most elite forces. The missions were high-stakes, the expectations uncompromising. But nothing prepared me for what came next.

Transitioning out of uniform, I faced a new kind of battle: finding purpose without a mission plan. And I wasn’t alone—many of my fellow veterans, especially from special operations and aviation, were navigating the same uncertain terrain.

For many veterans, the real challenge begins after combat. The mission ends, the uniform comes off—but the need for purpose remains. Without it, too many warriors feel lost, disconnected, and unsupported.

The Longbow Foundation was born to change that—to help veterans rediscover direction, community, and meaning in their next chapter.”

The Longbow Foundation Founder - Chase Carlton, US Army Apache Pilot
