I've worked for Subaru for over 17 years and I truly love helping people with their purchase and finance experience!
Outside of work I'm recently engaged... Yay! Our family consists of a dog and a cat so far. Our dog is an Australian Labradoodle (Ignotus Peverell) and our cat is a Siberian (Luna Lovegood) Yes we are huge Harry Potter fans!
I come from a family of 5 kids, of which I am the youngest. We currently live, and have lived in Portland for almost 40 years.
I'm a fanatical Green Bay Packers fan and I absolutely LOVE the Portland food scene.

Hey ya'll!
My name is Lee, a fairly recent transplant to Portland. I moved here from Virginia Beach where I managed a band, did event promotion, and owned a recording studio. I even met and worked with some nationally touring acts! Most recently, before I started in automotive consulting I was a territory manager for a firm that promoted products in big-box wholesale stores.
Originally from a sleepy town in Georgia, I've been in sales and consulting since high school (often compared by peers to "Hustler Kid" from the cartoon Recess).I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Marketing and a Master's of Arts in Human Resources. I enjoy working with people to achieve a goal, and taking the intimidation out of the purchase experience. It's not the "car business" it is the "people business" and I apply this approach with every client. Check out my Google and Yelp reviews on the Subaru of Portland pages! Its easy to tell how much enjoyment I get from working here. A smiling client is a great feeling, a referral client is the best feeling in the world!
When not in the office I am on a never ending quest to find the world's best chicken wings (send me suggestions!), love going to music festivals, or reading with a gin and tonic at arm's length.
Come down to Subaru of Portland and I guarantee you the Lee's Love promise!

Ron was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV. He spent many weekends on a boat with his parents and brother at Lake Mead. As a child, every summer break from school he would go on a month long camping trip with his grandparents and other family members. He was able to see many places that really stuck with him like Zion National Park, Capitol Reef, Grand Canyon, and Tillamook National Forest. It was when he came to Oregon that he truly fell in love with the beautiful Forrests, waterfalls, and rivers of this beautiful place. After 6 years of moving around from coast to coast, he finally returned to what he knew would be home.
Ron grew up in the Outdoors so some of his hobbies are Camping, Fishing, Hiking, and taking some targets up to Browns Camp shooting range. There are few places that he goes without his dogs if he is not working. He has a Dog named Denver (go Broncos!) who is a pit bull and golden retriever mix and another named Gracie who is a collie and rottweiler mix. They love to be around the water just as much as he does. He is an absolute animal lover, even loves the animals that most people try to avoid such as Snakes and lizards. Ron loves that he is able to work for a company that shares many of the same values that he believes in. If you share these same values and want to work with someone that you can trust and will work hard to get you into the Subaru that you have been dreaming about, call in and ask for Ron!

Sheila is now the proud mother of a multi-talented daughter of her own.

Her daughter, Rachel, now following in Sheila's footsteps, also bought her first new Subaru here a couple of years ago, joining the Subaru of Portland family.

Perfect for her interests as a skier and hiker. As the Trade Up Advantage Specialist, Sheila is truly proud to "Share The Love" with customers, family and friends, and to work with such an enthusiastic and talented team here at Subaru of Portland!
In Northern Colorado born and raised. On the corn fields is where I spent most of my days. Hanging out, maxing, relaxing all cool, I was husking some corn out past my school. When a couple of guys, they were revving up good, started racing Subies in my neighborhood. I went on one little race and my mom got scared and said "You better go off to college or to a job fair."
I packed all I had in my 96 SVX and drove out to Oregon to see what would come next. 4 years of college and a bachelor's degree, a career in the medical field was who I was to be. Another 4 years down the line and you know I wasn't happy, I thought to myself " let's make a change and make it snappy".
I looked back to when I was just a kid in a corn field and realized my love for Subaru never yielded. Top of the line product at fair market price, I'm a salesman now just bursting with life. Come down and meet me at Subaru of Portland, I'll show you performance, safety, and value that you can really feel. From Outbacks and Crosstreks to a WRX and the new Ascent, if a Subaru is what you want then let's make a deal!
Born and raised in LA. Did the '90's equivalent of running away with the circus... dropped out of school and went on tour with a band.
Went back to college; graduated with Honors from UC Berkeley. Got Married. Had a kid (she's rad). Got into the Car Biz. Life is good.
Brendan grew up in Davis, California a swimmer, water polo player, and life-long seeker of challenges and thrills. Two weeks after turning 17, he graduated from high school, moving to Long Beach, CA to play water polo for the US Olympic coach. During college he worked for the Long Beach Fire Department as an ocean lifeguard while earning his degree in nutrition & dietetics, a field of study chosen solely because of its relationship to athletic performance. A few months after graduation and his seventh year with Long Beach Fire, his life trajectory deviated abruptly and unexpectedly - he learned he could fly. Not very well, and not for very long, but he did it. Moments later, that very brief flight ended face-first into the freeway where he was reunited with both halves of his motorcycle. After a lengthy recovery, he became a financial advisor, spending a few years in Sacramento before moving to Portland with his (now) wife, Avelyn Ashe. With a desire to work in a field more closely tied to his interests, he made his way to Subaru of Portland, where he now resides.
Brandon has been in the Parts profession for over 18 years (over 10 of those with Wentworth). He is married with 2 kids (17 year old and 5 year old).
