Employee Spotlight: Steven Fraley
Where is your hometown?
I was born in St. Louis, Missouri and moved out to Denver with my family at the beginning of 2020.
Tell us something unique about you.
Not sure if it is unique or just crazy, but my wife and I took some time off from our careers to travel. We spent six months in Asia and Europe when our oldest son was nine months old. I truly believe that travel provides us with incredible opportunities to learn and grow by exposing us to diverse cultures, perspectives, and ways of life that we do not experience every day.
What do you like best about working at Innovest?
I really enjoy the people and culture at Innovest. We have an amazing team that always goes above and beyond for our clients, our community, and each other. This is embedded in who we are as a firm and makes coming to work every day very rewarding.
How do you give back to the community?
One of the great things about working at Innovest is our dedication to the community. We typically have monthly on-site volunteer opportunities I try to contribute to. Additionally, my wife and I are very active in supporting our local neighborhood/community and our sons’ schools.
What are your hobbies and interests?
At this point, most of my time is spent running our kids from activity to activity. Right now, we have soccer, baseball, taekwondo, and horseback riding, to keep us busy. We also love to ski and hike as a family. When I do have time to sneak away, I am usually golfing or hunting.
Tell us about your family.
I am very lucky to have been married to my amazing wife, Meg, for over 11 years. We have been blessed with three wonderful and wild sons, Charlie (5), Harrison (3), and Weller (2). All of our immediate family is back in St. Louis, so we try to get back to visit when possible and love to host our families in Denver. We also try to spend a lot of time enjoying the mountains in Steamboat Springs.
What is your favorite dessert?
My favorite dessert is authentic key lime pie, you just can’t beat it. Our favorite family tradition is walking or riding our bikes up to Bonnie Brae ice cream!
