    My name is Steve Wade. I was born on January 16, 1966 in Limestone Maine. Growing up our family moved frequently because my father was an Air Force Pilot. It was nice because it allowed me to "see the world". I learned new languages and met an array of people from different cultures. My Dad retired in 1979 and moved to Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Arizona has been my home ever since.After Graduating from Northern Arizona University with degrees in Economics and International Relations; I moved to Phoenix in 1994 with the intent to get my MBA. While waiting for school to start, I received a job selling cars. I've been hooked ever since. I love snow skiing and head to my condo in Colorado at least 10 times a year.

    I have been with Earnhardt Toyota since 2010 and thoroughly enjoy it. As a fleet Manager, I can get my customers a great vehicle at a great price. Allow me to solve the transportation needs of you and your family both now and in the future.

    I love sunshine, but never got into coffee . . . a strange mix for someone born and raised in Seattle. I also lived in Florida, Alabama and Virginia while growing up, but Seattle was always home. Unfortunately, I never got used to that 9 month long rainy season! After graduating from Washington State University (business and psychology) and Pacific Lutheran University (social sciences), I decided to make my way toward sunshine: Southern Arizona! I quickly fell in love with the desert and its' warm, dry weather and gorgeous sunsets. An added bonus: this is where I met my beautiful bride, Lisa (who hails originally from Pittsburgh)!
     
    Lisa and I are outdoor people. We love to hike, bike, scuba dive, ski and rock climb. You could also call us dog people. We have two adopted rescue pets: Bisbee (yes, she "found" us during an adventure to Bisbee), and Sedona, named for her red brindle coat.
     
    To help give back to the community my wife and I volunteer with a variety of non-profits, including Habitat for Humanity, American Red Cross, National Ski Patrol and the Southern Arizona Rescue Association. In fact, during the winter, if you visit Sunrise Park Resort, you will probably run into us up on the slopes. I was honored to serve as a rescue volunteer during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
     
    I retired from my first career doing advancement work (alumni relations and fund raising) at five major Universities. As Lisa won't be ready to retire for several more years, I had to find something new, fun and challenging. Many of my friends and family have been in the automotive industry, so I thought I would try my hand at it.
     
    Here at Earnhardt, we take a different approach to assist you. We focus first on you and your needs. No pressure. No hassle. No Bull. I joined the Earnhardt team, so I could apply this approach in a supportive, family environment. I would love to earn the opportunity to help you. Please call me on my cell phone at any time for assistance: Cell: 480-278-6833

    I am an Arizona native. I enjoy hunting, fishing and camping on my days off and spend a lot of time in the Greer area of Arizona. Also enjoy the lakes and rivers here in Arizona. Ask me about some cool out of the way areas if you are into this as well. I ride Motorcycles and also enjoy traveling to new places I have not been yet.. This past year I traveled twice to China and had a great time. Found the people to be very friendly and curious. By the way I also learned that sign language is very similar there and here. The basic signs translate over with no problem. Finger spelling does not unless you know the language. Yes I do speak American Sign Language to a decent communication level and am more than happy to assist if you require this service.

    I suppose I was destined for the automobile industry since I went to Firestone High School ? named after the tire magnate. I even met Mr. Firestone's family once. My high school was located in Akron, OH where I was born and raised. I left Ohio and the snow 31 years ago vowing never to live in another city that required shoveling snow. I think I've met that objective! Even when we are in the dead of summer here in Arizona, I just smile and say, "At least you don't have to shovel heat".

    I started out working for several dealerships as a service advisor and really enjoyed the interaction with my customers. Taking care of customers and solving their problems has to be at the top of my list so I decided to take the plunge and sell cars where I could interact even more with customers. I worked at Earnhardt Dodge and Hyundai until I came to Earnhardt Toyota. Where else can you sell a highly dependable car that gets great gas mileage, especially with the gas crunch these days!

    When I am not helping customers I enjoy taking my son, whose 4 and my daughter who is 5, to the park! Watching their limitless energy makes me wish I could bottle it up and sell it as alternative fuel. My wife and I will be celebrating our six year anniversary this year and love to go to movies (when Grandma can watch the kids), swimming with the kids and boating and fishing on the many lakes here in Arizona.

    For me, family time is my greatest reward. My second greatest reward is working with my customers to help them find exactly what they are looking for. 

    How can I help you today?

    • Hometown: Guyana
    I was born in Guyana, South America, on May 28, 1962, in a small village on the East coast of Demerara called Beterverwagting. I have 9 other siblings (4 sisters and 5 brothers). I spent most of my youth playing badminton, soccer, table tennis and attending the St Peters Roman Catholic Church.

    I completed my secondary education in 1980. After high school I attended Guyana Fire Service Training school and graduated as a practical fire fighter. A few years after graduation, I was offered a position as a Fire Prevention Officer and served in the fire prevention department for four and a half years. It was a great experience having to teach fire safety and inspect government/private premises. I left in April of 1989 of my own volition. I also signed up as a Volunteer CP (Constabulary Police) and was later sworn in as a Rural Constable. I later became the Chairman of the Newtown Policing group and sat as vice chairman for the Division.

    In May of 1989 I joined the Guyana Power and Light Company as a clerk in the accounting department and within a few months, because of my experience in fire safety, I was promoted to Assistant Safety Officer. I was subsequently promoted as "Safety Officer" and then as "Safety and Chief Security Officer". In my position I acted as the company contact person with the Ministry of Health and Labor. I spent 13 years with that establishment and that was the last position I held before coming to United States of America in 2002. During that period I attended University of Guyana where I received a Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health.

    I have a wife and a son (3yrs old) living with me in the city of Gilbert. My favorite leisure time activities are karaoke, indoor volley ball (Wally ball ? played in a racquet ball court) and ping pong table tennis. I joined the then Superstition Springs Toyota family (now Earnhardts) in 2004 as a salesperson. I am currently a Fleet Manager in the Internet Department. I am certified with Toyota and Scion and look forward to serving you in your purchase of the best and most reliable car in the world ? Toyota!

    • Hometown: Huntington, WV
    I was born on 16 September 1947 in Huntington, West Virginia. My family moved to Phoenix in 1958, where we had a home at 2nd Street and Willeta, which is close to downtown Phoenix. We later moved to the west side of Phoenix. I graduated from Alhambra High School in 1966.

    In July of 1966 I enlisted in the United States Air Force, and served eight years before being honorably discharged in July 1974. During my first four year tour I worked on B-52 bombers and the KC-135 tanker/refueling aircraft. I was stationed at McCord Air Force base in Tacoma, Washington during my second tour, and served as the crew chief and flight line controller for the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter, the military strategic airlifter.

    I returned to Phoenix where I worked at my brothers' construction company for a number of years. In 1994 I began my career in the automobile industry; I found my passion for automobiles and helping Customers. During the past thirteen years I have been leading the Internet and Fleet sales department.

    I have only one mission; to help my Customers ? ensuring that the car, SUV, or truck they purchase or lease from me provides the best value, quality, and reliability. Given my track record of repeat Customers, I am happy to say Mission Accomplished! My motto is: technology changes but relationships last forever.
