Gail Sharp

For Gail, a balanced lifestyle is built around running a successful spa business, becoming involved in community projects, and enjoying friends and family. Some of her best times are spent at her Lucky Penny Ranch with three dogs, a couple of cats, four Nigerian dwarf goats and three horses. She enjoys the picture-perfect Rocky Mountain landscape on horseback and hiking trails while espousing a personal philosophy that asserts there are reasons to celebrate life in big and small ways every, single day.

Michele Alton
Lead Manager

Michele's move to Colorado and choice to join the TallGrass team was purely a quality of life decision. "Colorado is where I belong," she says. "And, the people at TallGrass feel like a family." Michele has been with TallGrass for 12 years, and her leadership role is a perfect fit because, having grown up in a military family, she is well acquainted with the challenges of responsibility, duty and integrity. Michele gladly shares her secret to taking care of oneself: "Who knows better than you where you need to be?"

Shannon Marinos
Team Leader, Guest Relations, Retail, and Laundry Departments

She calls herself "Mama Bear." Shannon has been with TallGrass for 7 years, and is super-protective of her Guest Relations, Laundy, and Retail teams. She's always there for them. "No judgment," she says, "just a positive direction, setting goals together and moving forward." She puts emphasis on training because she knows people will be more confident, stay in the job longer, and the teams will be happier together. Her strategy aims to ensure happy crews, all together, all the time. "It's my big thing," she says, "I always want to give people the tools to be great."

Montana Beutlich
Team Leader, Massage Department

Montana has been with TallGrass for 9 years, and leads our team of massage therapists whom she describes as relaxed, calm, confident, beautiful souls. They work their therapeutic magic in 5 massage rooms each day at TallGrass. Providing all that nurturing and positive energy for guests means therapists must care for themselves, too. Montana makes sure they focus on self-care techniques to keep muscles loose and agile. And that creates an atmosphere of good energy and well-being for all!
