I grew up in Delphos KS and graduated from Minneapolis High School. After graduating from Bethany College, I worked as a CPA for Ernst & Young in KC and then as a controller for Stentofon Communications and Reliable Automotive. I have enjoyed working at Holm Auto since 2001. My wife Shelly (high school sweetheart) and I have three daughters, Tori Bowers, Taylor Lokken and Turner. In my free time, I am an avid golfer and enjoy watching the Kansas City Chiefs. I love still being in North Central Kansas close to family. It's great to work for such a progressive and professional dealership with such great employees!
