Adam approaches his work with a fundamental belief: everything is connected and serves a purpose. This principle guides how he leads, asks questions, and builds solutions. At the heart of Adam’s philosophy are three key questions: What is the purpose we are trying to achieve? How can we create deeper connections—with others, each other, and ourselves? What is the disconnect—and how can we fix it?

Adam’s curiosity about health and human potential sparked his career in sleep and circadian rhythm research. He studied at the University of Colorado’s Sleep and Chronobiology Research Center under renowned sleep expert Dr. Kenneth Wright. By the age of 25, his research was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and Sleep.

Realizing how fragmented clinical sleep care was, Adam co-founded The Colorado Sleep Institute (CSI) and Sleep Therapeutics in 2008. His goal was to unify sleep disciplines and provide integrated care. Under his leadership, CSI grew to five locations across Colorado, becoming the largest fully integrated sleep center in the U.S. and serving over 100,000 patients.

Drew Gottenborg serves as President of Rebis Health, a multidisciplinary medical practice focused on helping patients achieve restorative sleep and long-term health through root-cause care.

In addition to his work with Rebis, he is Co-Founder and managing partner of Spur Acquisitions, an investment and operating firm that partners with CEOs to acquire and grow small and mid-sized businesses. Founded in 2019, Spur owns and operates a growing portfolio of companies across multiple industries. Drew serves as Lead Director on several Spur portfolio company boards, supporting strategic growth and operational scaling.

Drew lives in Denver, Colorado with his wife and three children and enjoys skiing, climbing, fishing, and exploring the outdoors.
