Our Team

  • Gabie Batista

    Senior Marketing Manager

    Gabie grew up on the east coast in Maryland, but has been in Denver for nearly a decade. After getting her Business Management degree from an insanely small college (don’t worry, you don’t know it), she gained plenty of experience in the marketing space working as the right hand for top-tier business owners where she maximized operational excellence and strategic marketing. In her free time, you can find Gabie complaining about working out, trying to live up to her college tennis days, gaming, or going on adventures with her girlfriend and fur children. If you’ve ever seen a dog with massive ears in a backpack on a purple moped… that was her and her dog Toad. Here’s hoping she didn’t cut you off.

  • Elise Bunting

    Marketing Manager

    After trekking her ruby-slippered way across Kansas to Colorado, Elise landed in east Denver. Before making the move, they received their B.A. and M.S. in Integrated Marketing Communications at Wichita State University and the University of Kansas respectively. Elise’s passion for connecting with others and combining the art and science of marketing communications led them to freelancing and consulting for nonprofit organizations, smaller agencies and various small businesses across the United States. Now with a new pep in her step (from eating the fresh mountain snow), she’s ecstatic to join the team.

    In her free time, Elise enjoys trying new art mediums, dancing, cooking, specialty coffee, volunteering, snowboarding, boxing, practicing yoga, playing with her three rescue dogs and traveling with their partner. What drives her every day is the pursuit of continuous improvement, self-expression, finding her authentic self and quality friendships.

  • Matt Gallant

    Matt is a web developer with a passion for the outdoors. When he is not working, you can usually find him pursuing one of his many outdoor hobbies with a couple of dogs close behind.

  • Jill Hartwig

    People + Ops Manager

    Originally from a small town in western Washington State, Jill had no idea that places could have 300 days of fun . . . ahem, sun . . . a year until she moved to Colorado to go to college.
