A resident of Gunnison, Colorado for almost 60 years, Doug Tredway attended local public schools and graduated from Gunnison High School. After earning a degree from the University of Northern Iowa, he returned to Gunnison to begin a career in Education and for 35 years worked as a Teacher, Coach, Principal, and finally Superintendent of the Gunnison Valley Schools. Doug and his wife Kaylonn raised their children, Jansen and Tillie, in Gunnison, and as a family, they explored the world on yearly trips abroad. They were also fortunate enough to complete three, yearlong, overseas teaching experiences during their careers. When Doug retired from the School District in 2018, he was working in the same room at Lake School where he started as a kindergarten student. His grandchildren, Ellie and Sawyer, are attending Gunnison Elementary School and are living in the same house where Doug grew up. In retirement, Doug continues to reinvent himself and pursue his passion for travel, building, and art. He and his wife, Kaylonn, live life large, they travel widely, are involved in the community, and enjoy the many activities available to them.
