Sue Gab-Brunken - Operations Manager
	With over 30 years of business management experience, you will find Sue involved in a variety of aspects of the company - from Artwalk events to bookkeeping, you'll probably find Sue's touch. Growing up on a farm in the Midwest gave Sue a strong work ethic; growing up with six siblings and one bathroom taught her how to master time and gave Sue her sense of humor, regardless of what presents itself. A large part of Sue's professional experience comes from the resort industry at a luxury ski-in/ski-out resort here in Steamboat Springs. So when looking for a change in early 2001, moving to the real estate industry was a natural choice. Her love of Steamboat Springs and the surrounding area makes customer service a pleasure. Sue's parents - recognized nationally for their conservation contributions - embraced "green" practices and encouraged conservation ideas when green was just a color. Just another reason Sue embraces the Sotheby's brand and their innovative, cost-effective marketing programs without large print requirements. Her family and friends are a big part of her life. Her dogs are her children and her husband is her guiding force - and both enjoy hiking, camping, fishing (summer and winter!) but are especially fond of exploring ruins in search of rare petroglyphs and pictographs. Applying lessons from the past and having a confident outlook on the future keeps a smile on her face.
