Meet Our Team

My name is Chris Brown and I'd like to personally welcome you to Kia of Everett. As an active owner of Kia of Everett it has been my goal to create an environment for our customers and employees that is like no other store. I am happily married and the father of three wonderful children. The majority of my free time is spent supporting their various activities and interests. From driving to coaching to cleaning dirty cleats my family life has kept me busy.

My name is Erik Butler and I have been in the car business for 28 years, I am married to my best friend Sharon and we have 4 kids ranging from 25 to 13. Sharon and I are very active people, we have run tons of marathons and half marathons and even finished an Ironman triathlon in 2016 and 2018. I have worked at Kia of Everett since November 2020 and the Harnish auto family for 2 and a half years. 

I was born and raised in New York. At the age of 18 I moved to California and spent 10 years there. Been in the car business for over 20 years now. Married with three small children and a dog named Soul that comes to work with me here to Kia of Everett daily. On my off time I enjoy cooking for my family and spending time with them.

I was born and raised in Alaska and moved to Washington in 1999. I sold my first Kia in 2002 and have loved the product ever since. I am a father, husband, and avid family man. I love camping, technology and playing Legos with my son.

I've been a part of the auto industry more than 5 years now, and been a part of Kia of Everett since 2020. I have a small arsenal of vehicles including a Wrangler, Ranger and Del Sol. In my free time I enjoy riding my dirt bike, creating art and fiddling with cars. 

Soul was born in Riverside California and moved to Washington when he was 3 months old. This is when he also got his first job at a dealership greeting guests and getting spoiled with treats from everyone in the dealership throughout the day. He has a brother and sister from the same litter who were also flown up to Washington to live in loving homes in the area. When you arrive at the dealership you might Soul sitting at a door but don't worry he will never run out it just means his Dad went out that door and he is waiting for his return.

Hello! I born and raised in North Carolina. I have been with Kia for 9 years. In my spare time I enjoy family time, fishing, my vegetable garden and NHRA drag racing.

Hi! I am a native San Franciscan, who still loves the 49ers! 

I began with Kia of Everett in 2003 through 2017, then after a short break returned just over a year ago. 

In my spare time, I enjoy movies, books, BBQ'ing, doing art work and making music, most importantly, spending time with my wife and two dogs. 

This US Marine started selling KIA's in 1996.  I have evolved with the brand and love to sell them!  I am a Jack of all trades and love to work with my hands.  My passion is boating and everything that goes along with it.  I am also an avid online gamer.

I have been with Kia since 1997.  I'm from New Jersey and have a Business degree from Pepperdine University.  I spent several of my years working in the music business. The first contact I received was from Motown Records at the age of  14. A few of the artists I have worked with are Diana Ross, Quincy Jones, Madonna, and several others. My hobbies are sports, and I love to cook!!

​​I am originally from Long Beach California, and moved here in 1993. In my family I have 4 kids and 5 grand babies that I adore. In my spare time I love to cook, watch my 16 year old play basketball, enjoy life and Praising God every step of the way. 

I have been helping families get reliable vehicles for five years. Kia has been my home for the last two years. In my free time, I keep busy. I am a full time student, hike, fish, keep bees, and show my amazing Australian Shepherds, Kai & Paisley. 

A little about me outside of work. I am a mother to my 5 year old son Maddex. We enjoy being active like swimming, biking/dirt biking/ATV's and watching movies as a family. I am extremely close to my family and love being around them. Personally, I am getting in to hot yoga and learning how to cook healthy meals.

I was born right here in Everett.  I have worked for Kia since 2004, and been in the car business for 38 years.  My husband and I share our home with two dogs that make us laugh every day.  I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren and watching them participate in sports, especially hockey.  Love my Seahawks and looking forward to our new hockey team the Seattle Kraken.

I started working for Kia in 2004 and have been in the automotive business since 1982.  I really enjoy my job and my work family!  I have been married for 29 years and have a grown son and daughter.  In my time off, my husband and I love to travel and hang out with our friends.

I am originally from Oregon and have been in Washington state for 30 years.  I have been with Kia of Everett since October 2018 but have been with the brand Kia since 2014. I am a married mother of 2 grown children and grandmother to 5. In my down time, I like to craft, hang out with family and friends and travel.

Hi I'm Christopher Thompson. I've been an employee for Harnish Auto Family since February 2020. My father worked for Harnish Lincoln Mercury and Subaru and I was the son of a salesmen, growing into dealership life. I've had the pleasure of being with the Harnish auto family since I was a kid, and the one thing I love most about this company is people come first.
