ABOUT THE HONOREES
The Gnuse Family
The Gnuse family story is one of innovation, perseverance and dedication. It is also one impacted by Tourette Syndrome. All his life, Tom Gnuse experienced both motor and vocal tics. At the age of 42, after watching a television special, Tom recognized his symptoms as indicative of Tourette Syndrome. He was diagnosed later that year. As a young man, Tom learned to manage his tics. He also managed to pursue two engineering degrees, earn an MBA from Harvard Business School, serve in the US Air Force and start a family with his wife Jeanne. Jeanne has been by Tom’s side since the beginning, both as his wife and as his partner in business. Together, Tom and Jeanne raised three children, Ann, Karen and John – all of whom are pursuing successful careers in marketing, medicine and investment banking respectively. Tom and Jeanne are the proud grandparents of seven grandchildren. In 1993, the Gnuses founded HTG Investment Advisors. Their business provides individual investors with financial planning and a systematic approach to asset allocation and portfolio construction previously available only to institutions and the ultra-wealthy. Today, Tom and Jeanne have built HTG into a successful firm. As both their family and business have grown, the Gnuses have never forgotten how Tourette Syndrome impacted their lives and have been generous supporters of the Tourette Association of America for over 30 years.
