so grateful. My life and my career are rewarding. What do you think will be some of the dominant trends within the auto industry in the next 5-10 years? I think alternative fuel sources, whether it be electric or something else, are going to be the biggest change. It’s a big shift because, especially in Montana, the infrastructure isn't ready to go full electric. There are too many miles between charging stations, and the grids aren't quite ready. I think there are going to be many good things that are happening with the quality of the vehicles that are being produced. There is a lot to look forward to. Are you involved in any civic or charitable organizations? In the area of community service, we have supported organizations that directly impact the youth in our area, including 4-H; youth hockey, soccer, and baseball; local rodeos; the CABA (Continental Amateur Baseball Association) World Series; Miles City ROCKS (Raising Our Community Kids Safely), an after school program; Special Olympics Montana; and Erin’s Hope Project, which arranges outdoor adventures for children with lifethreatening illnesses. One year, our team selected a different youth organization each month to bring awareness to and to support through donations that were determined by the number of sales the store produced that month. It was a good thing for the staff to think of how they could be a part of helping others. We have also partnered with Holy Rosary Hospital Foundation on fundraising events, such as a car raffle, which resulted in upgrades to the hospital and the Outlaw Baseball Club raffle of a Camaro to assist with program expenses. I have also contributed time to the board of directors of Holy Rosary Healthcare and SCL Health, which is now Intermountain Healthcare, where I am on the board and executive committee WWW.MTADA.COM 17
