Employee Spotlight: Garry Beaulieu

Where is your hometown?

Manchester, NH. But if you ask me where I am from I will always say Boston because I lived there and I talk like I still do.

Tell us something unique about you:

I worked at Price Club (now Costco) for a couple of years and learned how to drive a forklift. Every time I see a forklift I have the urge to jump on and take it for a spin and put some pallets up on a rack.

What do you like best about working at Innovest?

I love our independence and the amazing people who work here. Having come from a background working for large trust banks I never knew what being independent and truly client focused meant. I do now and cannot think of another way I would work in this industry.

How do you give back to the Community?

I am quite active in the non-profit community at the board and volunteer level. I work with the Food Bank of the Rockies, Children’s Hospital Foundation and Wounded Warriors. I enjoy volunteering at the Food Bank and Rescue Mission.

What are your hobbies and interests?

I am a big fly fisherman. I love to travel and I love the ocean. However, I am a poor swimmer and have a deep fear of being attacked by a shark while I body surf the waves. I have also become a bit of a wine snob the past few years and travel to a wine destination every year.

Tell us about your family:

I have a 20-year daughter, Maddie going to school at UNC in Greeley. I have a 17-year-old son, Cam who is a junior at Grandview High. My partner, Elizabeth is an attorney and partner at Snell and Wilmer focusing on employment law. Elizabeth has a 21-year-old son, Ben going to school at Montana State. She also has an 18-year-old daughter, Elyssa who is a senior at Colorado Academy and just committed to Oklahoma. We are now reluctant ‘Sooners’. We have a three-year-old sausage of a French Bulldog named Jimmy Dean.

What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

Mint chocolate chip…is there another flavor?
