Julie started with Stephen from the very beginning, supporting her husband in his endeavor to open a quality auto repair shop. For the first seven years of Stephen’s Automotive, LLC she was a silent partner and worked for Kinetic Concepts as an Account Executive. Through this experience, she learned sales, marketing, and overall business strategies. She began working in the office three years ago as a temporary fix, but has since then evolved as a valuable member of the team.

Julie lives with Stephen and their three children in Louisa County. When not at the shop, she upcycles furniture for her booth at a local antiques & consignment shop. She truly enjoys spending time with her family, the bay & beach, and reading. Whenever you see her, it’s likely that she’s planning the next event.
