Behind the Green Curtain: More About Us

"Pay no attention to that man behind the green curtain!" --Wizard of Oz
So who is behind our Green Curtain? Not All Powerful, but it is a fun & dynamic team. So I'd like to introduce everyone to some of the players.

*******************************************************
Let's start with our most recent addition to the sales crew, Wynn Hurd. She was Wynn Allen when she moved into reservations from the front desk role in November 2007. Then she went and got married!
Here's Wynn in June.

Originally from Louisiana, Wynn went north to Boston University for her degree in history with a minor in theatre. (Later, she'll tell you how she found Telluride.) She returned to New Orleans for The Big Day. But when the newlyweds got back home, she confided that if she did it all again, she would rather have had the wedding here after all. Tell us more, Wynn.

Liza's right, I should have gotten married in Telluride just for the mountain views.

I met my husband, Brandon, in Atlanta. He was already a resident of Telluride and tried to convince me to move to Telluride too. A little weary of this place in the Rocky Mountains I had never heard of, I told Brandon that I would visit, but I was not going to move. The view of Ajax my first morning in Telluride was breathtaking. After about an hour of wondering, I found myself applying for and accepting a job offer and moved to Telluride just three weeks later. I blame my spontaneity on Telluride's unmatched mountain views, and their persuasion has served me well. Brandon and I are homeowners in Norwood and have two dogs, Zippy (a Jack Russell) and Raven (a Lab/Pitt). January 1st will be the first day of my third year in Telluride. My favorite time of year to go for hikes is October. The weather is perfect-not very hot and just enough breeze to keep you cool. Fall storms in Telluride come with plenty of warning, and the golden leaves of Aspen trees are stunning.
