After nearly two years as MED director and more than five years with the department formerly known as the MMED (Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division), Lewis Koski has accepted the position of deputy senior director of enforcement with the Colorado Department of Revenue, an MED spokesperson confirmed Wednesday.

“In this role, he will work alongside the senior director of enforcement, Ron Kammerzell, leading the five CDOR Enforcement Group divisions: Auto industry, gaming, liquor and tobacco, marijuana and racing,” said MED spokesperson Ro Silva.

Lewis not only ran the agency, he helped start it and was there since the beginning.
