DELROY GILL I FELT UNDERDRESSED. And I was wearing a stylish jacket, button-down collar shirt, trousers and dress shoes. But this guy looked like he just stepped off the runway in Milan and now it’s feeling like a bad dream where I show up for a black-tie gala in my underwear. Then there’s his undeniably charming British accent by way of South London that has accompanied him on his culture shocking move to Colorado 20 years ago. So, on a Friday afternoon during a summer heat wave in Denver, the only thing cooler than the air conditioning in the shadowy bar of Del Frisco’s Grille is this dapper cat standing in front of me, impeccably dressed and looking like Daniel Craig’s replacement as the next James Bond. I first came across the man named Delroy Gill through Denver Gents, the men’s organization that he launched with co-founder Stuart Crowell this past February. In a region that has been painfully dehydrated for a congruous homage to men’s fine clothing, our attention was immediately fixated on these gentlemen who celebrate style while giving back to the community. Even his name is cause for pause – Delroy Gill - this slick, unforgettable, exceptionally original moniker that you’d expect to be attached to a badass character in a Tarantino film. Life for this 37-year old modern day renaissance man is an absorbing mélange of a successful and burgeoning career at LIV Sotheby’s where he showcases luxury properties across the Denver region, his leadership role with Crowell at the aforementioned Denver Gents, and a promising ascension in the social media world with various Instagram endorsement deals through his authentic glimpses into his day-to-day activities. He’s a man with one very impressive plan and the big picture is crystal clear, “My goal is to share every single piece of my knowledge that I have before I leave this planet,” Gill says with the utmost conviction. “That’s just one of my ultimate goals.” It’s a mindset that’s unequivocally refreshing in this day and age. Gill’s mantra of giving back, helping others and being the best husband, father, friend, colleague, real estate agent, business partner and human being that he can possibly be stems from life lessons that he sought out early on in his career.
