About Eric Phelan…
Eric Phelan is a Colorado-based information technology and security professional with more than 17 years of experience designing, installing, and auditing critical systems for businesses, schools, and local governments across the state. He is a cofounder and Chief Operations Officer of Code Red Audits, LLC, a small business that specializes in IT and security audits, network infrastructure, access control systems, security cameras, and safety consulting—work that has taken him into classrooms, city halls, rural facilities, and high-security environments throughout Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District.
Eric has lived in Colorado since 2007 and currently resides in Parker. His career has been grounded in hands-on service: managing IT teams, overseeing security installations, teaching in public schools, and working directly with local leaders to solve real problems under real constraints. Over the years, he has led operations for technical teams, managed budgets, and worked in environments requiring Secret clearance—experiences that shaped his belief that accountability, planning, and execution matter more than rhetoric.
Through his work, Eric has partnered with more than 60 school districts across Colorado and maintains close ties with dozens of towns and cities, many of them in rural communities. Much of his consulting work—particularly with schools—has gone uncompensated, driven by a belief that keeping students, educators, and communities safe is a responsibility, not just a contract. He has also worked alongside organizations that support veterans, including the American Legion, and understands the challenges faced by communities that are often overlooked by large, centralized policy decisions.
