Shirley Purdy
Shirley has lived in the picturesque mountains of Telluride for 14 years managing to find B.W. Dyer and Company, even before it had arrived. It was a chance meeting on the ski slopes between Chip and her sister that set the wheels in motion. One “cold call” letter, several phone calls and 10 months later she was helping to transition the offices from their previous home in New Jersey to the wide open expanses of western Colorado.
Shirley earned her Bachelor's Degree in General Studies from Northern Arizona University. As her degree implies, she comes to the company with a variety of work background. Former positions include working as a chef, travel agent and supervisor for a governmental agency. All of these serve her well in her functions at Dyer: office management and customer service. Along with her comrade in arms, Mike, she keeps the wheels at Dyer spinning.
When the wheels aren’t spinning, her body is still moving. Shirley lives an active life outside the office and can often be found playing competitive volleyball, hiking or alpine skiing with her kids in the beautiful mountains we call home.
