Employee Spotlight: Claire DeLine
Where is your hometown?
I am very proud to be a fourth generation Denver native.
Tell us something unique about you.
I met my husband when I was just 14 years old, and we’ve been “going steady” since junior prom!
What do you like best about working at Innovest?
Far and away, the culture – Rich and Wendy have relentlessly pursued a culture of stewardship since the day they founded our firm, and it continues to shine through today. The people at Innovest are all tremendous stewards of our clients, each other, and the community outside our doors. I am humbled to be a part of such a selfless and driven team.
How do you give back to the community?
We serve in numerous ministries at our church, though our favorite has to be mentoring engaged couples who are preparing for marriage. I am also involved with a number of faith-based organizations, including serving on the Finance Committee for an education-focused nonprofit called Seeds of Hope and volunteering at Arrupe Jesuit, a local high school with an incredible mission.
What are your hobbies and interests?
I love to read, cook, play tennis, go for neighborhood walks, escape to the mountains for a weekend, and above all, spend time with loved ones. I am also trying to pick up golf – it’s safe to say my ego has never been more in check!
Tell us about your family.
My wonderful husband Chad and I were married in 2019, and we are over the moon to be welcoming our first child, a baby girl, this October! We are blessed to have our parents (and all four sets of grandparents!) living nearby in Denver. We get together every week for family dinner. Our siblings have each married amazing spouses, and we look forward to welcoming more nieces and nephews to dote on in the coming years!
What is your favorite dessert?
I am an ice cream fanatic. A favorite summer pastime of my family’s is creating a March Madness style bracket of the best local ice cream shops and trying out each place until we narrow it down to a winner. We call it the “Game of Cones” and our current reigning champion is Sweet Cooie’s in Denver.
