Kristin Holmes, PharmD
Kristin purchased Capitol Heights Pharmacy with her husband, Chris, in 2013, just before graduating from CU Skagg’s School of Pharmacy. Kristin passionately serves on the Colorado Pharmacist Society Board of Directors helping further the scope of practice for pharmacists across the state and is often adding to the services we can offer in the pharmacy to better serve our community. Outside of work, Kristin enjoys skiing, live music, and spending time with her son and miniature dachshund.

Since 2011, Chris Holmes has been managing Audiology practices and providing hearing healthcare to hundreds of patients around Colorado. He is now very excited to bring his experience to Capitol Heights Pharmacy where he has created a hearing healthcare center offering an extremely unique combination of lower cost and high end service for his patients.
Carly Gecan, PharmD
Our staff pharmacist, Carly, has been with Capitol Heights since her second year of pharmacy school as part of an experiential learning rotation. We were so thrilled to be able to hire her to be part of the team after she graduated from CU Skagg’s School of Pharmacy. Carly is devoted to serving her patients with a smile every day and enjoys the close relationships we are able to form with patients. She enjoys spending time with her husband, Nolan, their cats, Ghost and Leonard, and their bernedoodle puppy, Kevyn when she’s not working.
Jess Hooton, CPhT
Jess joined the Capitol Heights team in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and is very passionate about working in the field of pharmacy. She serves on the Colorado Pharmacists Society Board of Directors. We refer to Jess as “the baby whisperer” because of her talent for administering vaccines to children as young as six months with little fuss. Professionally, Jess is passionate about working with pharmacists to help patients stay on track with their immunization needs, and fostering relationships with patients.When Jess isn’t working, she enjoys reading, embroidering, hiking, and traveling.
Olive Keith
Olive joined the Capitol Heights team during the 2022 flu season. She dove in head first to working as a technician and is always excited to learn new things on or off the job - Olive is the queen of fun facts and would be an excellent trivia teammate. Olive strives to support the transgender community in finding the care they need and is an advocate of more accessible gender affirming care for all who seek it. Outside of work, Olive can be found socializing with friends, at a concert, creating art, or finding the coolest vintage clothes.
Richard Komson
Richard is a student at CU Skagg’s School of Pharmacy and our wonderful intern in the pharmacy. Before attending pharmacy school he got his bachelor’s degree in neuroscience from Boston University. He is very interested in the field of infectious disease pharmacy and is hoping to continue onto a residency program after pharmacy school. When he’s not working or diligently studying, Richard is often spending time with his partner, Kate and their two pets Henry and Benji, camping, or attending a music festival and always consuming caffeine.
