Personal Bio: 

"I grew up on a farm in small-town Starbuck, MN where I graduated from high school. I attended the University of Morris for a year before moving to Tacoma, WA. From there I moved to Alaska, Massachusetts, and then back to Minnesota to be close by family again. I have been blessed with one son and a daughter-in-law who are very talented artists. I love to fish, paint, mow my lawn, and whatever other manual labor I can find. I have been in the car business since 1991, but have been at Lexus since 2017. I enjoy helping customers with their financing, and love making the experience a joyful one!"

Personal Bio: 

"Raised in a career military family, I had the life-enriching opportunity live abroad (England) and lived in multiple US states - Texas, Michigan, Ohio, & Wisconsin - before establishing residency in Burnsville, Minnesota.  My passion in the fine arts lead to BMEd and MM (performance) degrees and teaching music in Bloomington - continuing to expand my travel dossier to thirty-seven countries - prior to discovering the world of sales.  After forty years of marriage, kids, four dogs and surviving the roller coaster of seasonal ups and downs, I can finally consider my vagabond self an adopted Minnesotan.  Creative endeavors have always spurred my personal impetus with gardening, design, experimental cooking and fashioning my ubiquitous bow ties rising to the top.

I joined Lexus of Wayzata in 2012 as a Vehicle Delivery Specialist and transitioned to the New Car Sales & Leasing team within the first year.  I especially enjoy working with a diverse clientele and international colleagues at the store."

Personal Bio:

"I grew up in Rochester, NY and Philadelphia. I headed west after high school and went to the University of Denver in Denver, Colorado. I moved to Minneapolis and began a career in retail with Dayton's. I've spent my career in retail and wholesale apparel, and had my own marketing company for 20 years working with high-end brands. I came to Lexus of Wayzata in early 2019 having never sold automobiles before, but wanting to bring my experience with high-end brands and consumer engagement to make the car-buying experience fun and enjoyable.

I have two daughters and three grandchildren. I live in Minnetonka, and am fortunate to have my family close by in Edina and South Minneapolis. I enjoy golf, biking, downhill skiing, music, and movies. I try to spend time with family cooking and entertaining."

Personal Bio: 
I was born and raised in Michigan most of my life. That is where I met my husband while attending Ferris State University. We lived in Baton Rouge, LA for three years and that is where my Lexus journey began, in 2015. 
In 2016 my husband and I moved to Delano, MN to be near family and friends. My career at Lexus of Wayzata started in 2016 and has been every bit of amazing, with new opportunities, meeting great customers and working with dedicated and passionate people. 
We currently have a daughter and a black lab who we love getting outside with. The four of us enjoy being on the lake, taking road trips to Michigan, and spending time with our families. We enjoy golfing, are major foodies and love finding new places to explore.

Personal Bio: 

I'm the son of a Lutheran preacher. We spent the bulk of my youth in rural South Dakota and Nebraska, until finally settling in Onalaska, WI my freshman year of high school. Like many preacher's kids, I too was a class clown. I coasted into graduation day on fumes, which helped punch my ticket to Riverland Community College in Austin, MN. I finished my schooling at UW-Eau Claire, where I studied Broadcast Journalism. I enjoyed 13 years as an on-air radio personality at 105 Dot 5 The Buzz in La Crosse, Z100 in Eau Claire, 104.7 KCLD in St Cloud and KS95 and 93X here in the Twin Cities. My most memorable celebrity encounter? Once, backstage at a celebrity gala, NBC's Matt Lauer and I touched hands while reaching for the same banana nut muffin.  

Casey, our daughter Avery (15), sons Cade (13) and Phoenix (6) and I live in St. Michael. I cheer for the Green Bay Packers, any team playing the Vikings, Nebraska Cornhusker Football, the Timberwolves, the Brewers, the Twins (I'm bi-leagual) and my amateur baseball team, the St Michael Angels! My hobbies include agreeing with my wife, buying things at Goodwill for $1 and selling them on eBay (or wearing them), cheap domestic Wisconsin beer and Netflix.

Personal Bio: 

I grew up in Edina, MN and graduated from Edina Highschool. I attended Normandale Community College in Bloomington, MN, and I  received my degree in Travel and Hospitality at Minneapolis Business College. I currently reside in Northeast Minneapolis with my beautiful wife and two gorgeous children (who thankfully get their looks from their mother). Before getting into the auto industry, I was in the restaurant business for 24 years. I worked for my father and his brother's restaurants; Nicklow's, Shorewood and Santorini. I thrive in customer service, my family taught me to value others. To treat everyone with respect, kindness and love. "The good thing about my family is that we treat you like family...and the bad thing is we treat you like family." Outside of work I enjoy biking with my dog Maverick, spending time with my family, volunteering at my church, trying new restaurants in the city and watching my favorite Minnesota sports teams. I came to Lexus in 2019, and would love to make you part of our family!
