About

Life Fully Lived at The Grand Teton Club

From when the sun first peeks above the Tetons to the east, to when its last light warms those same snow-capped slopes visible year-round, our Grand Teton Club members and their families can enjoy a wealth of exceptional recreational and outdoor amenities without ever having to leave home. Golf, tennis, pickleball, fly fishing in the 2.5-mile stretch of the Teton River that flows through the community, swimming, hiking in the adjacent 100,000-acre Targhee National Park, skiing, and off-road vehicles are just some of the fulfilling recreational opportunities for an active and fulfilling Healthspan/Lifespan lifestyle.

Your Family’s Healthspan/Lifespan Journey

There is no greater gift to a Family than that of good health, and enabling future generations live longer and healthier lives is perhaps the best legacy you and your Family can provide to your Future Generations. Our aspirations for The Grand Teton Club is to allow like-minded, technology optimistic and future facing families who believe that Community and Mindset are one of the pillars of Healthspan/Lifespan through the establishment of Multi-Generational Family Compounds to archive each family’s genetic information and create a resource of banked stem cells, blood, sperm and egg and genome sequencing and other family heirlooms to be stored in an engineered reinforced concrete underground storage facilities in the basements of the smaller of two homes – the Main Home and the Guest House/Family BioRepository.

  • Healthspan and lifespan are two related but distinct concepts used to measure aspects of human longevity and overall well-being. Lifespan refers to the length of time a person lives, while healthspan refers to the duration of healthy and functional life. Maximizing both lifespan and healthspan typically requires a combination of genetics, lifestyle choices, disease prevention, and access to quality healthcare.

  • A BioRepository is a facility that collects and stores samples of biological materials such as stem cells, blood, sperm and eggs, tissue, proteins, and DNA.

    Why in the world would someone in their right mind build and maintain a BioRepository under their guesthouse to store these things? To answer this, let me tell you something about our founder’s family history and genealogy.

    Our founder was born in Korea just 10 years after the end of the Korean War. He traces his family back nearly 425 years and 19 generations in the southern port city of Busan, Korea. His family was never rich but these family genealogical records remain a precious and important part of his family’s genetic and hereditary legacy. If these ancestors were able to sequence their genomes annually, so much more information about them could be known and understood. By studying the epigenetic changes from year to year in one’s ancestors, one can gain great insights into the lives they lived and challenges they faced and in doing so, find out so much about who they were and why, today, he is who he is. This likely applies to the human beings in this world. Future generations will also know much about our lives and much about themselves and how they came to be who they are genetically and biologically.

    We have the opportunity to sequence our genomes annually or regularly and to archive these genomic sequences for posterity not only as a means of preservation of one’s genetic and cultural inheritance and legacy. We are the first generation to be able to do so and we believe that future generations will appreciate or even expect that we took advantage of these recently available technologies to sequence, document, and preserve our genetic records for the benefit of future generations and humanity itself.

The Grand Teton Club Medical Diagnostic Clinic

Grand Teton Club plans to be the first private community to offer world-class Healthspan/Lifespan resources through its Grand Teton Institute (GTI). This dedicated non-profit private research institute will build an advanced medical clinic, and conference/education center will be modeled after the Human Longevity Institute’s (founded by Peter Diamandis, and Dr. J. Craig Venter) Health Nucleus advanced medical diagnostic clinic located in San Diego, California.  This improved version of the clinic will provide Community Members and their immediate Families with this annual medical screening, complete with MRI, genome sequencing, and other cutting-edge assessments with all costs covered by the HOA dues on an opt-in basis. The is a Proactive vs. Reactive approach to medical health care and the inevitable new paradigm to achieve improved Healthspan/Lifespan.

Proactive vs Reactive Medical Care

The Grand Teton Club advocates for the judicious exploration and utilization of the latest technologies here now, as well as the revolutionary new ones that will become available in the coming years. The Healthspan/Lifespan lifestyle actively promotes this proactive approach to a family’s ongoing healthcare examination and monitoring plans.

We plan to donate HomeSites to several different research institutes, one to each of them. We want to help these important Research Institutes raise funds to build homes with offices to serve as research retreats for their researchers and our fellow community members. The retreats will allow the researchers to work and be part of our community that values their work. We also plan to hold conferences, symposiums, fireside chats, and summits to explore the latest medical technologies. Some of these events will be simulcasted. We have spoken to several Research Institutes and have received favorable responses and are working to finalize the HomeSite donation program. If you are interested in this area of Gerontology Research, here are six research institutions that we think are doing terrific and moving the needle forward in the research that will lead to the medical treatments and care of the future:

Greg Norman Signature Golf Course

Members will enjoy golf with a panoramic backdrop of the Tetons at the Club’s 18-hole premier signature golf course designed by Greg Norman Golf Course Design. Norman has won 88 professional tournaments and was ranked world number one golfer for 331 weeks of his career. Greg Norman Golf Course Design has won numerous awards for his course designs. For The Grand Teton Club, Greg has designed a course that is equal parts challenging, enjoyable, and beautiful and created for Multi-Generational enjoyment by family and friends.

Geothermal Energy

Geothermal energy is a sustainable and, for the most part, renewable energy source that does not produce carbon emissions or pollute the air. Further studies of the geothermal waters under The Grand Teton Club will determine whether our community can be energy independent, with or without a wind turbine to supplement the energy produced, in the future. These studies may allow The Grand Teton Club to be self-sustaining from an energy standpoint, another potential first for a home community like ours.

Community-Controlled Farming

We are inspired by the Vertical Harvest, located in Jackson, Wyoming. The farm is located within a see-through glass building that shows the crops being grown and harvested. Vertical Farming can increase crop yields by 10-20 times more per acre farmed and use up to 98% less water.

The Grand Teton Club, blessed with our own water source and water treatment plant, is committed to introducing both vertical and traditional agricultural farming methods on our lands. Our goal is to allow our community to control the use of agrichemicals such as pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, and GMOs. For animals raised for food, concerns about drugs injected into animals such as antibiotics, hormones, growth stimulants, and GMOs can be decided by separate communities to give choice and control over how the community’s food is produced and, perhaps equally importantly, how the animals are treated and raised.
