I was born and raised in Arizona the Grand Canyon State. I graduated from Skyline high School in 2008 with a Scholastic's diploma. In high school I played Soccer, Football, and Basketball. From there I transferred to Mesa Community College for two years to collect my Associates degree in design management. While through high school and college I worked at Fry's Food and Drug as your local butcher. Moving onward and upward, I am now the "Green Pea" at Earnhardt's Toyota and loving every minute of it. I work with a great group of people and look forward to coming to work every day. I like to think that some of this has something to do with the fact that I am a people person and love interacting with and helping customers. My plans for the future are to go back to school to finish up my bachelors at Arizona State University and become an Architect or something similar to the field by the way of involved design and planning. I tend to be an over achiever…some may call me a perfectionist or others may say I'm detail oriented. Whatever it's called, I'm always striving to do my best. My hobbies include: Outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, riding ATV's, and camping. I love to work out and play sports regularly. I appreciate the opportunity to serve you and hope to be of service in the very near future. Thank you for choosing Earnhardt's today!

Certified Master Car Consultant Certified Expert Truck Consultant Certified Scion Sales Consultant Hometown: Guyana I was born in Guyana, South America 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!

Certified Car Consultant Certified Truck Consultant Certified Scion Sales Consultant Hometown: Akron, Ohio 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?

No Bull since 2017 My name is Jon Mefford, and I’d like to tell you a little about myself. I was born in Lancaster, CA near Edwards Air Force Base. I grew up in Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley, doing the things that most California kids do. I raced Motorcycles & BMX, cruised Van Nuys Boulevard on Wednesday Nights, Surfed Malibu & Zuma, Ski’d Big Bear, Arrowhead & Mammoth, played Football & Basketball, I’m not a very gifted athlete but I tried hard! My family had a Weekend/Summer place in Porterville, CA at Lake Success where we Water Ski’d, Tubed, Dove from places we shouldn’t have and rode our Motorcycles behind the Dam, Fished and Hunted along the Spill Way and really just had a great time growing up! I graduated Granada Hills High School with Honors and quickly moved to Santa Monica to be near the Beach, where I spent my young adulthood. I grew up in the Auto Parts business working for my father and with my brothers. Then moved on to Managing an Auto Parts Warehouse then becoming its Sales Manager. When that business sold, I moved on and held a Territory Sales Managers position for the LA area for a different Auto Parts distributor, then took a Promotion and Transfer with them to Arizona and the Four Corner States Territory. I loved growing up in CA, but really the only thing I miss is the Beach! The Mountains and Deserts are my play ground here. I’ve lived in the East Valley since 1995 with my family, I have a beautiful Wife, two Daughters and a Son, we’re empty nesters now and have our first two grand children coming soon, and we look forward to spoiling them! My last position in the parts business was with KYB Shock Absorbers, but the parts business has changed quite a bit, and after 9/11 travel grew weary so in 2006 I decided to change careers and start selling the whole thing instead of just the parts. I started my car sales career selling Honda for the first seven years and switched to selling Toyota’s in 2013, I only want to sell the Best! I enjoy my job, and I take pride in doing it well, my only goal is to exceed my client’s expectations and match them to the vehicle of their dreams while making it a pleasurable experience! Thank you for listening, and I look forward to being of service to you soon.

Being a native of Arizona, I am proud to call this place my home. I am the second oldest of nine; five sisters and three brothers. We all live close to one another and are with each other more often than not. Family is the most important thing to me and always has been. My parents were both military and I learned from a very young age respect, values, and the phrase, “Yes ma’am” and “No ma’am”.
I moved to Flagstaff in 2007 to go to school and get out on my own. I met my wife while serving at a restaurant. We haven’t left each other’s side since. We got married in March of 2015 and found out we were pregnant very shortly after. We had our beautiful son, Benjamin, in December of the same year and we are so grateful to be the parents of such a great boy.
I wanted to provide a better life for my family financially and a friend suggested I would be good at car sales. I have personally bought two cars from Earnhardt Toyota and was treated with the utmost respect, professionalism, and kindness, so the decision for me to come and work with this company was an easy one.
We know you have many options when you are buying a new vehicle and we appreciate the opportunity to earn your business. I promise to treat you and anyone you send our way with respect, professionalism, and kindness as this is the only way I know how to do business. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me anytime!

Hello, my name is Michael Joseph Watters II. Thanks for coming in and spending time at Earnhardt Toyota. I joined sales in October of 2020, so this is a nice way for you to know a little bit about me. I am the youngest in a family of 5, born and raised in Arizona. My parents are originally from New Jersey so we always take trips back east to visit the family. I have been working at Earnhardt Toyota since 2018 spending my first two years in the detail department while working through high school and community college. After I got my associates degree in general business I decided it was time for a change in my life, so I decided to join sales. If there is one thing I have learned about Earnhardt is that they work from within and care so much about not only their customers, but their employees as well.
I am excited for what the future may bring me and all the opportunities I will have. When I’m not at work, most of the time I will be hanging out with my friends or family, or I am in Puerto Penasco relaxing on the beach since I tend to go down to Mexico about 8-10 times a year. Thank you for your time and give me a call anytime and I will help you to my fullest ability.

Hello, my name is Carson White. Here is a quick get to know me! I was born in San Diego, California, shortly after I was born my family moved to Denver, Colorado; where I spent most of my young age.
Around the age of ten, my family and I moved from the high city to the sunny state of Arizona. We moved to Arizona in order to be closer to family. After the big move to Arizona, my dad encouraged me to try out ice hockey; I ended up really enjoying the sport and played until I was eighteen.
In my free time I try to go up north as much as I possibly can, in the winter seasons I go snowboarding and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Throughout my high schools years, I really began to like cars. More specifically I enjoy doing all the maintenance and the fun aftermarket things that come along with it. I’ve been in the car business for 3 years now!
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at any time! Thank You for choosing myself, and Earnhardt Toyota to assist you today.

Hi! My name is Keith Heinzig, and I work at Earnhardt Toyota. I was born in San Diego, California, and raised in Mission Viejo, California. I grew up going to Laguna Beach, surfing during the summer, and going to Big Bear to snowboard during the winter. I have one sibling, which is my younger sister. I moved out of California at the age of 18, going to Colorado. In Colorado, I worked at a ski resort, waking up in the early mornings to negative 10-degree weather! After Colorado, I headed back to California, moving to Lake Forest. That is when I found my passion in the car industry. I started at a Hyundai dealership, working in the service department, beginning as a porter and working my way to becoming a service advisor. I moved to Menifee, California, working for a Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Ram dealership. I started working in the service department again and shortly transferred to sales! I moved from Menifee to San Tan Valley for a lot of reasons. Having friends out here has been a big help. Arizona is my new home, and I’m happy to be here. I love working for this brand and am extremely grateful to Earnhardt for bringing me on board. Being a massive football fan, I loved being driving distance from Sofi stadium in Inglewood, California, home of the Los Angeles Chargers! Being a Chargers fan has not been a fun experience, but if I can be loyal to them, you know I will be loyal to you through your next car-buying experience!

Hi, I’m Richard Wright and I am a sales associate at Earnhardt Toyota. I was born and raised in Chandler, Arizona. As a kid, I loved playing multiple sports such as soccer, baseball, football, and basketball. I focused on volleyball and football in high school and graduated from Corona del Sol. As long as I can remember I had always wanted to be a police officer. My junior and senior year I attended EVIT (East Valley Institute of Technology) in the law enforcement program. I was able to attend EVIT in the morning and then take my main subjects such as math, history, economics, and English at Corona.
During and after high school I worked at IKEA furniture store while I attended Mesa Community College and studied Criminal Justice. When signing up for classes, the student advisor asked me what electives I wanted to take and I chose Human Anatomy because I loved working out and staying in shape. I fell in love with learning about the human body and shortly after I signed up for the Gateway College accredited Physical Therapist Assisting program. There was a waiting list for the program, so I finished MCC with an Associate’s in Arts. Then, after two more years at Gateway, I graduated with a Physical Therapist Assisting Degree (Associates in Applied Science).
After college graduation, I worked in an outpatient clinic for one year. I loved meeting new people and helping them with their recovery. The original plan was to become a P.T. but by this time I was 24 years old with fire, drive and a growing interest in increasing my knowledge, skills and abilities through personal experience. I was given an opportunity to work in sales where I am now working for Earnhardt Toyota Scion. I know at some point down the line I will reincorporate a college return into my days. As for now, I’m really excited to pursue this career where I look forward to meeting and helping new people right here.

I was born in Richfield Utah May, 1954. I never really lived there but was taken by my parents at the ripe old age of three weeks to Washington D.C. where my father enrolled in George Washington Law School.
I grew up in the suburbs of Maryland till I was 14 years old when we moved to Mesa Arizona. As a youth I was active in music and sports, playing the violin since I was six. I was a top miler and distance runner in the State while attending Mesa High, having set the mile record at 4:17.4. That record lasted for five years when it was smash by a better miler. There always a better miler!
I served a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1973 to 1975 in the country of Indonesia. I became fluent in Indonesian and loved serving those people there.
Upon returning to the United States, I work for Greyhound Bus Line while I went to school. I did my undergraduate and graduate work at ASU in choral music and graduated in 1980 from ASU. I taught music, choir and orchestra for seven years and then got into the car business.
I moved to Yuma Arizona in 1988 and lived there for eleven years selling cars and serving on the local school board. In 1999 I moved back to Mesa where I worked for Biddulph Honda. Earnhardt bought out Biddulph in June of 2000 and I have worked for the Earnhardt ever since.
I have 10 children with 30 grandchildren between myself and my wife, Sheri. All our children sing and play instruments. My wife is an excellent pianist also not to brag, an amazing chef. I love the car business and serving my customers. I hope to be able to serve you for a long time to come.

Hello! My name is Josh. I was born and raised in sunny Phoenix, where I graduated high school in 2014. I have a small, close family, with one older sister and a younger brother. We have two dogs- Molly, a Shih Tzu, and Newt- a chow/coyote mix. We also have a flock of six birds, including our two-foot-tall Blue and Golden McCaw, Aglia.
When I was younger, I had a heart surgery to correct a pulmonary stenosis, a condition where a heart valve doesn’t stay open. By the time I had reached eleven years old, it was over 70% closed. After the surgery, the road to recovery was long, but it taught me a lot about perseverance, and how to appreciate life. From then on, I decided I would always work my hardest to be the best me I can.
At the age of 19, and after working hard doing welding and repairing windshields, I bought my dream car—a Chevy Camaro. I’m proud to have accomplished that at such a young age. After my jobs with welding and windshields, I decided I wanted to turn my love of cars into a career. I applied at Earnhardt Toyota, and started in detail. I loved my position there and enjoyed working with my hands to deliver our customers’ dream cars to them, as mine was delivered to me. However, I knew that I wanted more, and to keep moving up in the auto industry, so I made the move over into our Sales department. Now I get to help people like you find the perfect car for themselves and their family, and it is truly my pleasure to be assisting in such an important decision in your life. Thank you for choosing me, and Earnhardt Toyota, to help you. We know you have a choice!

Hello and thank you for giving me an opportunity to work with you. Here is a little bit about myself so you can better know me.
I grew up here in Mesa, Arizona and lived here for most of my life. I attended Red Mountain High school, and then after graduation, moved to Tucson and attended the University of Arizona, Bear down! After graduating with a degree in engineering I decided it was time to move back home.
Shortly after moving back I started working for the Earnhardt's at the Chrysler Jeep store in Tempe, AZ in 2003. I have also worked at other Earnhardt locations since then, but found a home here at Toyota in 2013. This has been by far the best product I have ever sold and a great company to work for. I have converted everyone in my family to Toyota.
As for me, I have 2 wonderful kids. My daughter is 20 and my son is 18. They definitely keep me busy with all of their extracurricular school events and sports, and well just being teenagers in general is exhausting! I enjoy the outdoors and frequently go to Cardinals football games whenever I can.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to work with you today and I hope to continue to be of service in the future! Please feel free to call, email and/or text me, as needed.

Hello potential Earnhardt Toyota members
We really appreciate you stopping into our wonderful facility today. I understand buying a vehicle can be an overwhelming process. The experience I had trying to buy my first car was extremely uncomfortable and stressful, I felt as though my wants and needs weren’t important. From this horrible experience you might wonder why I became a car salesman. Well I have a little story for you; I was born in China and for my 11th birthday I received a one way ticket to LAX with my sister. After the big move, and now living in the land of opportunity, it really showed me what I was missing and what is not available back home. As I became more comfortable in my new living situation, my interest in automobiles grew rapidly, I still remember my first car like it was yesterday- a black 1999 Toyota Avalon with over 90k miles that still ran like a dream! I loved it and still miss her to this day. After becoming a car owner, I started tinkering with modifications and improvements to my car with my friends. This developed into a love and passion for cars.
As I’ve gotten older, my priorities have shifted. Now with a beautiful wife and our sweet little daughter, I do not have the extra time to work on cars. However, I do enjoy watching and staying informed in the car industry through many different facets. I had my second car buying experience at Earnhardt. My sales person was the one who showed me how to operate a manual transmission on my first new car and provided me a personal, one of a kind experience. I soon found out that this experience is a tradition here, and Earnhardt thrives on making you apart of it. Then one day it clicked, with my favorite brand being Toyota, and having a great experience with my second car purchase at Earnhardt, I looked into what I could do with this, and soon became part of the Earnhardt family. Tradition is important to me and I want to share the amazing experience with you. So here I am, with you at Earnhardt Toyota, where you will get the No Bull difference. Lets make this experience about you from start to finish! Thank you for choosing us, because we know you have a choice.

Hello, my name is Cort. I was born in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. After High School I left and moved to Utah for school followed by a few years in South Florida before returning back to Wyoming and attending the University of Wyoming. After UW I found myself back in Utah as the GM of a gym which decided to move out to Arizona to open and that brought me out this way. I left the gym industry in 2020 and found a home at Earnhardt.
When I am not at work I am usually downtown at a Suns game, Chase Field for a D-Backs game or just hanging with my dogs Marley and Gilligan. I grew up in the cold and snow so waking up to sunshine and palm trees is like waking up on vacation every day. My step brother Karson has horses, cattle and a ranch in Wyoming so I am the only one in my Family in the Valley of the Sun and that enjoys the heat.
I have been in Arizona since August 2018 and I have no plans to leave. I have found my place here in Arizona and here with the Earnhardt’s. I love the opportunity to meet new people and learn about them every day I come to work. I make new friends and help them find the perfect vehicle for them and their families. I am honored to be able to help you find that perfect vehicle!

Howdy! My name is Carter Barragan and I work at Earnhardt Toyota. I was born and raised in a small town just Northwest of Phoenix named Bullhead City. I grew up on the Colorado River and the Mohave Lake swimming, fishing, and boat rides every weekend! I come from a family of six siblings of which there are two sets of twins and I am one of them! I graduated from Mohave High School where I focused on homework first and soccer second. After high school I was given the opportunity to move to Fairbanks, Alaska where I worked as an Indoor Lifeguard Supervisor. I taught over three thousand kids survival skills in the water and how to swim safely. I fell in love with Alaska’s nature and I ended up staying for two years. I realized I couldn’t stand the 50 below temperature in the winter anymore and that’s when I decided to move to Phoenix. After Alaska, I applied at FedEx Express where I got hired as a driver and stuck with that for five years. I loved the work atmosphere of being outside and independent doing one delivery at a time. I met some of the best people while working at FedEx who introduced me to golf. I fell in love with the game and now play every other weekend! Golf is a great sport because I get to play it with my wife, Alexis. Alexis is my high school sweetheart and she’s been the greatest thing to ever happen to me. She’s the one who pushes me and motivates me to be the best version of myself. When I am not working, you will find me on the golf course, at the gym, or traveling to visit all of my nieces and nephews. I am a people person and I can find something in common with almost anyone! Being only 27 years old, I knew I wanted to use that skill for something more. I was given an opportunity in sales here at Earnhardt Toyota where I am looking forward to learning, growing, and helping people find the car they love.

I was born on December 4, 1975 in Croatia, Europe. I am the youngest in a family of four with a brother three years older than I. I was active in sports all through my first 8 years of basic education in Croatia and then two years of high school. I loved playing soccer all through my high school years and I played professionally in a soccer league and toured all through Europe with the team. What a wonderful way to spend my youth. After high school when I turned 18, I served in the military as was required by all youth in my country. About this time the war in Bosnia started and I spent most of my time in other European countries playing soccer. I was 6 months in Germany, 3 months in Italy and back to Croatia for two years before I moved to the United States. My older brother Jake had already moved to Arizona and he was my sponsor that I needed to immigrate. We had other family here and there is a large community of Croatians and Bosnians in Arizona so we had a support group to come to when my mother and I came here. Once we got here, it took 3 months to get all our papers, social security numbers etc. in order to work and then I started as a delivery boy in a pharmacy. When I got here I did not know a word of English and I started to study, watch movies and read everything in English in order to learn. I use to carry a dictionary with me and wrote down words I did not understand and looked them up. After a year or so of that, I became fluent in English. I had a friend who sold cars for Earnhardt’s. He, in fact, had sold me a car and told me I could sell cars and make more money. So I applied with the Earnhardt’s. In 2001 I started at the Earnhardt Chrysler/Jeep store and have been with the Earnhardt’s ever since. After 7 years with Chrysler, I went to Nissan for and year and then came here to Toyota. I love selling the best cars in the world. I hope to be of service to you now and in the future. If you have any questions, please call me on my cell phone.

Hey! My name is Ryan Burn, and I work at Earnhardt Toyota. I was born and raised right here in the beautiful state of Arizona! I lived in Goodyear for the majority of my childhood but moved to Iowa for 2 short years when I was young. During my teenage years, I went to Canyon View High school in Wadell and graduated in 2023. I am now pursuing a bachelor's degree at Estrella Mountain Community College for a degree in Entrepreneurship.
My childhood has always consisted of me being around all things automotive, whether its car shows, car meets, or even a racing movie. Ever since my early years I have been surrounded by this environment and is still a large part of my personality to this day!
Another side of me that people might not know about me is my love for sports, since 6 years old I have always played basketball, whether it’s club ball, school, or even recreationally I have always had a love for it. In high school I branched out to try some other sports out, I discovered swimming originally and ended up falling in love with it for 3 years of my high school journey. My favorite though, I discovered my freshman year was a sport I never thought I’d like; Men's Volleyball. Ever since I had started volleyball, every other sport became a non-priority. During my high school years, I ate and slept volleyball, whether it was hanging out with my team after hours, or practicing in my backyard, I couldn’t get enough.
I have always had a bit of a different thought process when it comes to work, being that my parents run a business themselves; I like to think about what it would be like one day to run my own show. Being only 20 years old, with an extroverted personality and love for automotive, I knew my career was going to be in automotive sales. In early 2025 I was given that chance to work here at Earnhardt Toyota. I am excited for the future here to learn and grow. With my extensive product knowledge and problem solving I believe that I can help anyone find the vehicle of their dreams.

Hello, future Toyota family member!
I’m Graylin Murray, and I’m proud to be part of the Earnhardt Toyota Team, where we stand by the “No Bull” difference. I was born in California but raised in Texas, so you could say I’ve got a little West Coast in me-but don’t worry, I turned out alright! I’ve spent the past nine years in and out of Arizona and excited to now call it home.
Before selling cars, I served 4 years in the U.S. Navy as an Intelligence Specialist, where integrity and dedication were at the core of everything I did. After my time in the service, I worked in the oil and gas industry, learning firsthand the value of hard work and resilience. Now I’ve found my passion in helping find the perfect vehicle.
I know that buying a car can be stressful, but I also know how exciting it can be to find the right one. My goal is to make the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible-so you get all the excitement without the headaches.
Oh, and in case you were wondering-yes, I’m a cowboy at heart. No, I don’t ride a horse to work, but if Toyota made one with a I-Force Max V6 Twin-Turbo and leather seats, I just might!
If you’re looking for a stress-free car buying experience with a little humor along the way, spend some time with me at Earnhardt Toyota. From start to finish, I want this to be about you-your wants, your needs, and making sure you drive away in a vehicle you love. I’d honored to earn your business.

Hi, my name is Jack Mills and I joined the Earnhardt family in March 2025. I was born in England Somerset which is located in the Southwest countryside; most people would recognize places such as Exeter, Bath and Bristol. Back home I used to play semi-professional rugby and was part of the Bristol bears academy, I sadly had two injuries that took me out of the game and now I coach for Tempe women’s rugby club here in Arizona and play the odd match here and there.
I originally came to the US to start my gap year after finishing university, my older brother had lived here since 2009 and I wanted to spend some time with him, my visit turned out to be more than what I was expecting. Whilst on my gap year I met the love of my life and later got married in May 2024, she was born and raised in Arizona. I was kind of bobbing about after finishing university and with not playing Rugby I didn’t really know what I was doing, so we decided to stay in Arizona and start our lives together here. We currently have a small family of ourselves and our two cats Nemo and Nyla.

I’ve always felt a strong connection to community, and I think that's shaped a lot of who I am. Sports are a big part of my life – I’m a die-hard Cowboys and Lakers fan. I’ve been blessed to share the last 17 years with my incredible wife, Anita. We’ve got two amazing kids and they bring so much joy and laughter into our lives.
For over 12 years now, I’ve been in the car business. What started as a job quickly turned into a passion for helping people. I really enjoy making people laugh. I try to find humor in everything and love making my family and friends smile. Above all, my faith is the most important part of my life. My relationship with God guides everything I do. At the end of the day, it's about family, faith, and making people happy. That’s what matters most to me."

I’ve been with Earnhardt Toyota since 2025, but cars have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Chicago and made the move to Arizona in 2011. My dad is in the car business, so I basically grew up on the lot—learning the ropes, falling in love with cars, and understanding the importance of taking care of people.
Helping customers find the right vehicle is something I take pride in. I’m all about keeping things easy, straightforward, and maybe even a little fun along the way. Whether you know exactly what you want or need some guidance, I’m here to help every step of the way.
When I’m not at the dealership, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family, camping, out on the lake, or at a car show. And if there’s a free moment, I’m probably getting my hands dirty working on a project car.
I’d love the chance to earn your business and help you find the ride that’s just right for you. Let’s make it happen!

I visit often and recently had the chance to see the Aztec pyramids in Mexico City, which helped me feel even closer to my roots.
I'm passionate about fashion. I studied Fashion Design at community college and co-founded a clothing brand called “Intruder” with two of my best friends. We focus on screen printing and creative designs. Our latest drop has a design similar to the NY Yankees logo but with our spin on it. This experience has taught me to pay attention to details and aim for high quality—skills I bring to my work here.
Even though I'm new to car sales, I'm dedicated to helping you find the right vehicle for your needs. I believe in honest communication and making sure every customer feels happy and confident with their purchase.

Hi! My name is Mykyta,
My family and I recently moved from Kharkiv, Ukraine, to the United States because of the war. My dad stayed home and serves in the Ukrainian Military, he operates drones. We never had the desire to leave our home, but fate decided everything differently. Since my town is 20 miles from the Russian border, it started to suffer from shelling and destruction from the first days of the war. My dad ordered me to take my mom and sister and take care of them, and he stayed behind as he had military experience. Since then it has been almost 3 years since I have not seen my dad and the rest of my family and friends. We hope that the war will be over soon and we will finally be able to see our relatives alive and unharmed.
Now Thank God and the people of the USA for their support all is well. My dad is alive and still in the Army, my sister goes to high school in Gilbert, my mom takes care of the housekeeping, my wife works at Walmart and I work here at Toyota Earnhardt and volunteering as a kid’s soccer coach for one of the teams in Mesa. I played professional soccer 5 years ago and have been working in IT for the last 2 years but decided to change my life and start selling cars.

Hi! I'm Kaden, and if there’s one thing that defines me, it’s my love for the outdoors and the adventures that come with it. I come from a long line of outdoorsmen, so you could say the wild is in my blood. I was born in Sallisaw, a small town in Oklahoma, but I moved to Lake Elsinore, California, when I was just 3. From there, I eventually made my way to Arizona with my dad, who’s more than just family to me; the person I trust and look up to most. Out here in Arizona, life’s a blend of the work I love, and time spent exploring. By day, I’m a salesman, a job that keeps me on my toes and lets me connect with people, which I really enjoy. But outside of work, you’ll almost always find me out rock crawling with my family, camping, or planning the next adventure. We even have 600 acres in the Ozark Mountains back in Oklahoma, where we go to really get away from it all. Nothing but us, the mountains, and endless skies, the outdoors is more than just a hobby; it’s a way of life for me. There’s something about being out there, challenging myself, and spending time with the people who mean the most that keeps me grounded and grateful. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Hey there! My name is Nathan Burrell and I work at Earnhardt Toyota. I was born and raised right here in Arizona and have been surrounded by both basketballs and bumpers since I was a kid. I grew up going to car shows with my family, learning early on to appreciate everything from classics to custom builds. At the same time, I was putting in work on the court—basketball has been a big part of my life, and I played all the way through my freshman year at Central Arizona College.
Being around sports taught me dedication, focus, and how to show up for others—skills that I now bring into everything I do. I’ve always had a natural connection with people, and I love making real, down-to-earth conversations happen with customers. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me checking out local car meets, hitting the gym, or just kicking back with friends and family. I’m a big believer in staying positive, learning every day, and always keeping it real. I’m grateful to be part of the Earnhardt team, where I can grow, connect with great people, and help others find a car they feel excited about.

Hey! My name is Travis, and I work here at Earnhardt Toyota! I am one of the rare natives to Arizona. I was born in Phoenix and have always lived here. I've grown to appreciate Arizona for its beauty, environment, and everything else it has to offer. I genuinely don't think I'd want to live anywhere else. In my younger years, I lived in Southern Scottsdale. When I was 3, the movie "Cars" came out and it flipped a switch in my brain. With that, my family would take me to car shows every weekend just fueling that fire. Once I saw cars being modified and Fast and Furious, there was no turning back from being an enthusiast. I love to build, race, and show my cars. Other things I enjoy doing are golfing, travelling, cooking. After moving from Scottsdale to Mesa, I went to McClintock High for my Freshman year. Then after that, I moved to the east side of Mesa and finished my high school career at Red Mountain High, where I graduated in 2022. I started working at the family business when I was 14. We used to own a local steak house on Falcon Field Airport where I learned so many things. By the time I was 18, I was manager and have worked every position in a restaurant. I noticed that my favorite was serving and bartending because I get to talk to people. After we sold the restaurant, I went around to a couple places bartending and serving. They varied from golf courses, other restaurants, and dive bars. I then worked at a go kart track that I used to race at when I was younger. Then one day I wanted to switch some things up. I came here on a day that we were hosting a hiring event, and things just fell perfectly into place. Since then, I've loved my new path and I look forward to growing and helping people find a car to fall in love with.

Hi, I’m Aiyosha! I’m still pretty new to Arizona. I moved here in late 2024 and so far, I’ve learned three important things: the mountains are breathtaking, the stars look better here than anywhere else and yes… the heat is basically a full-time job. When I’m not at the dealership, you can usually find me hiking, paddle boarding, or hanging out with my two Maine Coon cats, who definitely think they’re the landlords of my apartment.
When it comes to cars, I’ll be honest I’m still learning right along with you. But that’s actually my favorite part! Every person I meet teaches me something new, and I love being part of the excitement when someone finds a car they truly love. I don’t believe in “salesy sales” I’d rather make you laugh, make you feel at home, and maybe even do a little happy dance with you in the parking lot when you pick your car.
The way I see it, buying a car should feel fun, stress-free, and a little bit like hanging out with a friend who just wants to see you smile. My goal is that by the time you leave, you’re not only driving a car that feels right for you. You also feel cared for, comfortable and maybe even tempted to give me a hug!

Hello. My name is Blade Kalb. I want to thank you for allowing me to assist you in finding your next vehicle. I was born and raised in New York and New Jersey before coming to Arizona in 2021. I completed my Screenwriting Bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University in 2023 where I achieved honors from my Capstone paper. I have fallen in love with Arizona and intend to stay as long as I’m able to here enjoying the weather and car scene. I am thrilled to now work at Earnhardt Toyota. I gained my previous experience selling classic vehicles at a specialty restoration shop after I finished my college degree. I understand better than most that selling a vehicle is not just an investment for a customer, but also a liability. I want to make sure you feel not only comfortable but also confident enough to know the car as well as I do after you make your purchase. Cars are not just a product to me. This industry and environment is my lifestyle. My grandfather, mom and dad all have been working around cars for the majority of their life. My grandpa worked in the automotive industry for over 20 years and my mom worked for Toyota before me! This is now my privilege to help people feel the same love that I do around their vehicle to assist people in the way my own family did for others. Seeing as cars are my passion, I strive to show a professional approach with extensive product knowledge as well as an ability to find you the best fit for your next vehicle!

I was born in a small town outside of the Twin Cities, Minnesota, and lived in that very small farm town called Maple Lake. My family moved to Scottsdale, Arizona where I surely didn't fit in with the Scottsdale kids and was picked on every day for the type of clothing I wore to school and my funny accent! My parents eventually got me better clothes and moved me to a Phoenix school district where I graduated in 1986 from Shadow Mountain High School in north Phoenix. After High School, I attended Scottsdale Community College for the first 2 years and finished obtaining my college degree in Business/Management BS/BA/BAM at the University of Phoenix. I worked for the University of Phoenix for 10 years as a Corporate Technology Buyer. After having a major motorcycle accident, I was out of work for many months recovering. My position had changed when I returned to work. I then decided to change careers from that point and gave car sales a try. That was in 2002 when I started as a green-pea salesman. Rather surprised, I actually really enjoyed working with people and creating friendships while providing a one stop shopping experience. Soon thereafter, their friends and families came looking for me and it suddenly had become a career. I've sold Honda, Hyundai and Toyota, and by far Toyota has been the best product I've had the opportunity to sell. I've noticed over the years that Toyota buyers tend to stay with Toyota and highly recommend them to their friends and families. I've learned that if you treat each customer like a friend or family member, you're going to create a working relationship that continues to grow over the years. That's what I'm here to do for you! Create that relationship that keeps you coming back to a fantastic organization such as the Earnhardt Family and the Toyota brand. I hope I can be of assistance to you with your car buying needs and find for you that car, truck or SUV that you'll love for years to come.

She convinced me that I would enjoy being a car sales consultant since I like meeting and talking to new people. Well, once again she was right! While, I had never been a car sales consultant before, I figured why not.
