Telluride, Colorado

Andy
Konigsmark

Real estate broker, wedding officiant, author, and retired American Gladiator.

Hi, I'm Andy Konigsmark, and I've had an interesting journey since graduating high school. This current chapter began in 2008, when I moved to Telluride to serve as a Presbyterian minister. I've lived in this community long enough to know the best trails, the hidden secrets, and the nuances of life in a box canyon.

Life in Telluride means you wear lots of hats. I'm fortunate to serve couples on two of their biggest days: their wedding and the purchase of a home. In my spare time, I'm an author, a comedian, and a snowboard coach.

As a minister, I'd love to help you celebrate your big day. As a Realtor, I'd love to help you find your next home.

There's a little more to it than that.

I write books

Born to Backslide: A Divine Struggle (2020) is my journey to overcome a learning disability and discover authentic faith.

I'm on TV

I've competed on American Gladiators, American Ninja Warrior, Beast Games, and The Million Dollar Mile.

I do stand-up

Because sharing your most painful moments on stage is cheaper than therapy.

I'm an emcee

Movies, events, and fundraisers — including Mountainfilm, the Telluride Film Festival, and Telluride Top Chef.

I'm a minister

An ordained Presbyterian minister with a doctorate and a Master of Divinity from Fuller Seminary. I currently serve as a Minister at Large for Western Colorado.

I run trails

In 2026 I helped my brother-in-law complete the Cocodona 250, a 250-mile crossing of the Arizona high country. Come fall, you'll find me on the Imogene Pass Run, the brutal haul over the mountains from Ouray to Telluride.

I'm a certified snowboard coach

In winter, I coach our next wave of Olympians and X Games athletes.

I'm a family man

My most important job is being a faithful husband to Dodi and providing for Emmi Claire and Crew.
