  • Subarus are excellent vehicles because they offer standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and generous ground clearance for unmatched capability in harsh weather and rough terrain. Combined with their top-tier safety ratings and renowned long-term reliability, they provide practical, everyday peace of mind. I'm proud to represent a brand that puts such an emphasis on the safety of their customers and offers so many standard features in a vehicle.
Favorite hobbies outside of work?
  • Our family recently relocated to the Duluth area to fully immerse ourselves in the great outdoors. Whether we are hiking, biking, or getting pulled along by our three dogs, we love taking advantage of everything Northern Minnesota has to offer. When I'm not outdoors or cheering on the Vikings (SKOL!), my wife and I are passionate DIYers. We are currently tackling a full kitchen update on our 100-year-old home, with plenty more projects lined up for the future. I bring that same dedication, work ethic, and love for adventure to helping you find the perfect vehicle for your next journey. Come say hi and let's talk football, DIY, or your favorite local trails!

Why are Subarus great vehicles in your experience?
  • Subaru offers exceptional value for the money. Their vehicles are built with reliability, safety, and long-term ownership costs in mind, making them a smart choice for many drivers. Living in northern Minnesota, I especially appreciate Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, which performs exceptionally well during our long winters and on a variety of road conditions. One of the things that stands out most is the loyalty of Subaru owners. Customers consistently return to the brand because of the confidence they have in their vehicles. Beyond the vehicles themselves, Subaru is deeply involved in supporting local communities through initiatives such as pet adoption events, classroom sponsorships, and programs like Best Christmas Ever. Their commitment to making a positive impact is something I truly admire and am proud to represent.
Favorite hobbies outside of work?
  • Outside of work, I enjoy fishing, riding snowmobiles and ATVs, exploring lakes throughout the region, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.

Why are Subarus great vehicles in your experience?

  • I have owned 3 Subarus and the Safety Features are one of the reasons I love them so much. I was able to walk away from 2 bad accidents because the Safety Features kicked in. I love the look of them as well. I have owned other vehicles of various brands, but my Subarus have always had the best reliability overall.
Favorite hobbies outside of work?
  • I enjoy taking my dog to the dog park (you may even find my dog, Oakley, joining me at work sometimes), golfing, working on art and music, reading, and hanging out with friends.

How long have you worked at Miller Hill Subaru?

  • I joined the Miller Hill Subaru team in 2024, but my automotive journey began back in 2016 with a Subaru in the Twin Cities!
Why are Subarus great vehicles in your experience?
  • Subaru isn't just a "Point A to Point B" vehicle - it takes you where life happens. They're Northland-capable through our wintery seasons, packed with practical features you'll actually use, and comfortable to drive; but there's something deeper at work. I've witnessed firsthand how Subaru's engineering and safety do more than prevent accidents - they've saved families from collisions that, without a Subaru, would have had devastating outcomes. When I tell customers they're driving a vehicle built for protection, that's not marketing - it's trust earned through real experiences - and that is what makes a Subaru great.
Favorite hobbies outside of work?
  • When I'm not at the store, you can find me painting, reading, machining parts, or generally tinkering with projects. I love understanding how things work, which definitely helps my role as the Love-Encore/Technology Specialist.

  • Having a reliable vehicle with all wheel drive that still gets impressive gas mileage makes for a much better driving experience when navigating up and down the snowy cliffside roads of Duluth, MN!

How long have you worked at Miller Hill Subaru?

  • 4.5 years
Why are Subarus great vehicles in your experience?
  • Through my years of working with Subaru customers, I've heard many stories about vehicle accidents, and I can confidently say that Subaru is among the safest vehicles on the road. Beyond safety, Subaru vehicles are also highly reliable when maintained; they can last well over 300,000 miles.
Favorite hobbies outside of work?
  • During my free time at home, I enjoy relaxing and discovering new shows to binge-watch. Outside of work, I love traveling, photography, finding a new coffee shop, and spending time with family and friends. I have a diverse taste in music and often attend concerts or local live performances.
  • My passion for the car scene is what led me to Subaru, and I enjoy attending car events throughout the summer. In October, I also work at the DECC for the Duluth Haunted Ship as a special effects makeup artist. Fun fact: this attraction and my makeup has been featured in local news, the Minnesota Star Tribune, and Forbes.

  • Not a day goes by in the service drive that I don't hear a Subaru owner announce with a passion, "I LOVE MY SUBARU!". During our many months of snowy conditions, Subaru owners are confident they are driving the perfect vehicle to get them to their destination. The number of Subarus on our roads here speak volumes to how great they really are!
Favorite hobbies outside of work?
  • When I'm not at work, being an animal lover, I really enjoy the company of my orange female rescue kitty, Savvy, and my recent rescue dog, Cyrus, a sweet 90lb shepherd/chow mix. I also love flower gardening and find spending time in the outdoors (Ely being a favorite destination) soothing to my soul! Being creative in decorating, my fun pastime is scouring antique and vintage shops for items I can repurpose. Trying new recipes and cooking for family is always a joy.
