We are very involved in our church, and when we find time to escape, we like to pack it up and head to our inlaws lake home for some fishing and water sports. We spend a lot of time away from our familys for work, I feel fortunate to work for Eitel for so many years.

Brittany joined the team here at Bavarian BMW in 2006 as a Service Coordinator in our Service Lane. Her talent was recognized by the Service Manager and she was promoted to a MINI Brand Service
Advisor in 2007.

I appreciate them adjusting my position here which allows me to spend more time with my daughter Hayden and my two dogs.
