Employee Spotlight: Gordon Tewell

Where is your hometown?

I was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Tell us something unique about you.

My first job was as a wrangler at a dude ranch outside of Colorado Springs.

What do you like best about working at Innovest?

I truly appreciate the development of Innovest’s Mission and Values over time. Particularly our commitment to our clients, our unwavering client service and to adding value to our clients unique needs. I feel that we add value for every client I work with.

How do you give back to the community?

My wife and I spend lots of time volunteering a Foothills Animal Shelter. Foothills is an open admission facility serving Jefferson County. We also spend time at our local Y.

What are your hobbies and interests?

My wife and I both cycle, still human powered, not electric yet. We typically spend at least one week a year touring a different part of the US on our bicycles and have spent many weeks cycling in France and Italy. I enjoy cooking and home remodeling; I’ve never been able to spark my wife’s interest in those hobbies.

Tell us about your family.

I’m married to my wonderful wife Deb and have family scattered across Colorado, mainly my two older sisters and nephews.

What is your favorite dessert?

Even though I was born in Colorado and the relationship between the states is shaky, I really like Texas Sheet Cake.
