Q: WHAT MAKES WORKING FOR FINDLAY VW THE MOST REWARDING?
The best part about working at Findlay VW in Flagstaff is that the city still has the small mountain town feel and large sense of community, which Findlay is a huge part of. I love that Findlay auto group is run by the Findlay family and the family feel is present in all our stores.
Q: WHAT DO YOU THINK MOST PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT OWNING OR MAINTAINING A VEHICLE BUT PROBABLY SHOULD?
I would say the thing that most people may not know is that changing transmission fluid is equally as important as changing your engine oil.
Q: WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE VW MODEL AND WHY?
My favorite Volkswagen model hands down is the Golf GTI. It’s a lot of car for your money and comes with launch control.
Q: WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE OR SHOW THAT HAS COOL VEHICLES FEATURED IN IT?
This is a tough one. I would say “Smoky and the Bandit.”
Q: WHAT ARE YOUR PASSIONS OR INTERESTS OUTSIDE OF WORK?
My passion is for sure my family – my wife, Courtney, and our two teenage sons, Caynan and Casen. My hobbies are paddleboarding, camping, mountain biking, hiking and ice hockey. I like helping people. Working with the local high schools, Coconino and Flagstaff, in their automotive classes has been amazing and I look forward to the years to come.
Q: IF YOU COULD GO BACK AND SHARE WITH YOUR YOUNGER SELF ONE LIFE LESSON, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Life is a team sport!
Q: WHAT’S ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT LIVING IN NORTHERN ARIZONA?
I enjoy the entire Flagstaff community, having all four seasons here and being able to drive a couple hours south to get out of the cold in the winter months.
Q: WHAT MOTIVATES YOU IN YOUR PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE?
I’m motivated by the infinite support from my family and knowing each day I can be a better me than I was the day before at home and at work.
Q: WHAT DOES A PERFECT WEEKEND LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?
A perfect weekend would start with Saturday, waking up early and going on a mountain bike ride and then having a BBQ with my family and friends. On Sunday, I’d be sleeping in and relaxing.
Q: IS THERE ANYTHING WE HAVEN’T ASKED YET THAT YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE WITH OUR FLAGSTAFF COMMUNITY?
I am not from Arizona originally. My wife and I are from Maine and moved out here in 2011 with our two boys and we love it here! FBN
