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.
