Jennifer Quigley (Spinozzi) moved from Indiana to Colorado in 1978. Both of her parents did not have jobs in Colorado yet, but they packed up the U-Haul and headed west to Colorado Springs. She has lived in Gunnison, Denver, & Silverthorne but nothing can compare to her love of her home city of Colorado Springs. Her parents entrenched the family to the beauty of Colorado with countless, weekend outdoor activities that included camping, fishing, hunting and skiing lessons at The Broadmoor.

What makes you stand out from the crowd? This can be a talent, life-experience, unique hobby.

Her family has been involved with the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo for numerous years. Her husband, Patrick, runs the Mutton’ Bustin’ event annually. The Quigley’s are avid beekeepers and Jennifer tries to have something blooming (May – October) to feed the bees.

My mom was instrumental in bringing the Flight for Life helicopter program to Colorado Springs (via St. Francis Hospital) in 1983.

What is the best $100 you recently spent? On what and why? (personal or professional)

Jeff Giaimo is a big kid at heart who loves story-telling, pirates and Disney World. He owns a tanning bed and drinks enough Diet Coke a year to float a boat. If you want to tell him how either of these things are bad for his health, he will agree with you because he loves people and avoids conflict unless its absolutely necessary.
