    Meet the Founder

    I'm Evan Dechtman, founder of 5280 Legends and HEARD Digital Marketing, serving Denver since 1999.

    After decades of helping local businesses grow, I saw how hard it is for great small businesses to get noticed without big ad budgets. Too many incredible local gems were getting buried by pay-to-play directories.

    That's why I created 5280 Legends—to give Denver's best local businesses the visibility they deserve, completely free.

    I want to help you discover the awesome local businesses owned by our hardworking friends and families across Denver.
