age. This natural inclination led to a curiosity about accounting which was
nurtured by her college professors. After earning her Bachelor of Science
in business administration from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Brooke was

School of Management. This led to Brooke’s current role as a certified

Recently Brooke received the 2014 Young Professional of the Year Award

Brooke specializes in personal and business income tax return

Yamhill Valley’s
young pros
break the mold
BY REBECCA QUANDT
I am a young professional, but what does
that actually mean? Is it a particular age range or professional
group? I can only answer this question from my personal life
experiences and without a doubt young professionals vary from
place to place.
One thing we all have in common is our high-level of creative
thinking and a desire for flexibility in the workforce. Long gone
are the days of negotiating retirement packages and 401Ks.
Young professionals tend to seek positions with flexible work
weeks and ample vacation time. Our work-life balance is very
blurred, which means we don’t mind responding to work emails
at 10 p.m. or on a Sunday. We will put in 65+ hours a week
since we are motivated by the ability to leave work at 4 p.m. to
make a yoga class, or have flex time to take longer vacations.
We have diverse skill-sets and the ability to have multiple
professions. We are the generation of, “if I don’t know how to
do it; I’ll Google it.”
No task is too complicated and we love a challenge. The
ability to constantly learn and evolve is essential. That is why
many do not stay in one career path. We move on and work at
other positions, sometimes due to pay, sometimes due to the
fact that we lack passion or feel unfulfilled.
The young professionals in Yamhill County are unique
in themselves. I have lived all over the United States and
can easily say that the workforce here is by far the most
collaborative. “Rising tides float all boats” is the motto in
McMinnville. We aren’t afraid to ask for help, suggestions or
guidance from our peers — in fact we prefer it.
We encourage collaboration and you can see the positive
impact it has made simply by walking through our downtowns.
Here you will see the hard work and success of our young
professionals for yourself.
In McMinnville, for example, The Bitter Monk is full each
night of the week with craft brew enthusiasts; Pura Vida and
Community Plate are two of the busiest eateries in the area
and you can’t miss the intricate hand-painted sandwich boards
designed by Mitch Horning.
These names are only a tiny segment of the young
professional community, which is vast because we are
constantly broadening our patronage, never settling for the
same thing over and over. But the point I am trying to make
is that we don’t fit a particular mold anymore. We can’t and
shouldn’t be categorized by our age or profession, because we
are so much more than that. We are creative, ambitious, openmined and, above all, collaborative. We are tiptoeing our way
around in this world trying to find where we fit in. Encourage us,
because we will encourage you. Like I said before, rising tides
float all boats, and I truly believe that.

Founder and Owner
In a world filled with increasing stress and questionable influences on
children, one local business was established to teach kids respect for
each other and how to solve problems without fighting. “We teach manners
and morals in a structured environment,” said Scott Miller, a fourthdegree black belt with 25 years of experience. “We can help kids build
confidence, deal with bullies and follow directions in an encouraging way.”
Open Hand Kempo offers patient and professional instruction in
the martial arts from experienced and certified instructors. “Everyone
participates and encourages each other,” said Miller.
As founder of McMinnville’s Open Hand Kempo, Miller knows the
benefits the martial arts can provide personally. “I enjoy helping people
feel good about themselves in an authentic manner,” Miller said.
Currently studying under Grandmaster Jim Brassard, Miller espouses
non-aggression and tolerance for others with an emphasis on character
building and self-control.
Miller and his wife hand-picked McMinnville as the perfect place to
raise their family. The couple is active in their church and the community.
“Our goal is to impact this community in a positive manner and to teach
others to do the same,” said Miller.

Adam Garvin has always worked in the automotive industry. In fact,
the McMinnville native’s love for cars pretty much predestined him to
devote his life to making cars look fantastic. As founder and owner of
McMinnville’s Xtreme Auto Spa, Adam spends his days making the cars of
local folks look like showpieces.
At age 13, Adam detailed his first automobile as an assignment
from his father and grandfather. Later, a high school marketing project
introduced the first business card for what would become Xtreme Auto
Spa. In college, Adam helped pay his tuition by detailing cars and a career
was born. Today, nothing pleases Adam more than his clients’ apprecia
tion for Xtreme’s outstanding attentiontodetail.
Adam lives in McMinnville with his other half, Trish, his son, Aidan,
and his beloved German shepherd, Carrera. When he’s not making
local cars look terrific, Adam might be found helping his son build with
Legos, visiting the coast with his family or sampling great food at local
restaurants.

When Keith Hanna got tired of his old job which kept him indoors,
he pursued a career with McMinnville’s Cascadia Landscaping — a job
that would allow him to work outside. As construction supervisor for the
popular local landscape company, Keith installs paver walls, steps, patios,
pathways and irrigation systems. He also creates lush lawns, raised
garden beds and beautiful water features.
A Dayton High School graduate, Keith also attended Chemeketa

efforts.
Keith lives with his wife in McMinnville. When he’s not at work,
Keith enjoys bass fishing and walking his poodle around the streets of
McMinnville. In his spare time, Keith is learning to play the guitar.
Maintenance Supervisor
What started as just another job quickly turned into something much
more for Thomas Wicks as he found his calling as a landscaper. Thomas
fell in love with the art of landscaping and knew that he wanted to make
a career out of it. As maintenance super visor for Cascadia Landscaping,
Thomas makes sure that Cascadia customers get the top-notch care and
service for which the company is known. He also oversees the quality and
efficiency of the company’s maintenance department.

Cascadia. He has honed his landscaping and supervisory skills during his
tenure, taking great care to do the job right the first time. Thomas loves

activities and strengthening his faith.

Executive Chef
Born in Portland and raised in the Yamhill Valley, Norma Buchholz has
always had a fiery passion for cooking and cuisine. After graduating from
Sheridan High School, Norma attended Western Culinary Institute in
Portland to expand on her home-grown skills.
Norma’s first professional work in the culinary arts occurred under the
original owners at Tina’s Restaurant. Her return several years later has
been a sort of homecoming for Norma. Moving back to wine country has
suited Norma just fine — she enjoys working closely with local meats
and produce, keeping the menu at Tina’s fresh, seasonal and as locallysourced as possible.
Norma’s eye for detail, her creativity and her work ethic are impressive.
She finds great inspiration for her recipes from the bounty of the valley.
Blessed with a perceptive palate, Norma enjoys pairing her food with
terrific local wines. She even has future plans to open a restaurant of
her own!

Yamhill County Marketing
Representative
Analiese Jones didn’t choose a career in marketing, the marketing life
chose her and she wants everyone to know she loves it! Her extensive
experience in sales, customer service and real estate helped develop
Analiese’s business-building skills, motivation and ability to create strong
networking opportunities for her clients.
As the Yamhill County marketing representative for AmeriTitle, Analiese
helps the company’s clients maintain and grow their businesses and
enables clients to create their own opportunities through effective
marketing and branding. Her broad background has proven to be a great
asset as she helps clients expand their customer bases and build their
businesses into great success stories.
Analiese and her husband have one daughter, Georgia. She enjoys
spending time outdoors, and loves to re-purpose and refinish old furniture
and other treasures.
After Alana Celia worked on a laser physics project and completed an
internship in molecular physics, she decided she wanted to combine her
fascination with science and her interest in business. Alana now serves
as chief operating and financial officer for Applied Physics Technologies,
where she oversees company operations, focusing on customers who
create their own precision equipment and the company’s strategic and
financial planning.
Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Alana was raised in Woodinville,
Washington. Alana earned a bachelor of science with majors in physics
and business management from Linfield College. She will complete her
master’s degree in business administration at Willamette University later
this year.
Alana lives in McMinnville with her two dogs, Bentley and Blair. When
she’s not working, Alana might be found at a winery enjoying a glass of
pinot noir. In her spare time, Alana volunteers for the Phi Sigma Sigma
fraternity at both local and national levels. She also engages in guest
speaking and lecturing at Linfield College and mentors current students.

Escrow Assistant
Jessi Wright considers herself lucky. Already employed in the mortgage
lending industry, Jessi accepted an offer from a friend to work as an
escrow assistant at AmeriTitle a number of years ago. Today, Jessi is a
full-fledged escrow officer for the company. Jessi acts as a neutral third
party in real estate transactions like buying or selling homes, refinancing
and implementing reverse mortgages.
Jessi was born in Keizer and graduated from McNary High School in
Salem. She attended Chemeketa Community College before starting
her career with AmeriTitle. Jessi is constantly learning in the course of
her duties — each day brings something new. Jessi appreciates the
relationships she has built in her years at AmeriTitle.
Jessi lives in Dallas with her husband, Troy, and two step-children,
Sawyer and Addison. When she’s not helping clients at AmeriTitle, Jessi
and her husband operate a working farm. The family enjoys traveling,
camping and riding horses together. In the summer months, Jessi plays
on a women’s softball team

Chief Operating & Financial Officer
As an escrow assistant at AmeriTitle, Vanessa Garcia disburses checks
when a transaction is closing, notarizes documents and sends out title
reports and other critical documents. But Vanessa’s favorite part of
her job is keeping in contact with clients and colleagues. She enjoys
the people she works with and that her position keeps her on her toes.
Vanessa says there’s always something new to learn!
Born in Corvallis, Vanessa graduated from Crescent Valley High School.
Vanessa lives in McMinnville with her daughter, Delilah, and son, Adrian.
When she’s not working, Vanessa loves spine-tingling pursuits like trying
out a new roller coaster or skydiving. But she also enjoys settling down to
watch a good movie. Living in the Yamhill Valley, Vanessa especially likes
the mild climate and being close to her extended family.

whether it’s sports, outdoor recreation or just day-to-day living. Born in

With her lifelong interest in science and a restless desire to learn, Sara
Hieter astutely chose physical therapy as her career. Sara’s academic
foundation in physics, biomechanics and anatomy is put to good use
helping patients return to their functional goals from competitive sport to
simply walking to the mailbox. Sara especially enjoys the variety that her
patients bring and knows that, as a physical therapist, she’ll never have a
dull day!
Sara graduated from Gaston High School and earned a Bachelor of
Science degree from Oregon State University. She did postgraduate
work at Pacific University, where she was awarded her Doctor of Physical
Therapy. Sara has a Level 1 certification in manual therapy from the
North American Institute of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (NAIOMT) and
is working toward Level 2. She is also pursuing continuing education
coursework in temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ) and is interested
in working with athletes and neurological injuries in addition to traditional
orthopedic patients.
Sara is happily married to her middle-school sweetheart and might be
found running, cooking or traveling when she’s not helping patients.
When she was in high school, an automobile accident profoundly
changed Aurora Fry’s life and helped her focus on physical therapy as
a career. Aurora’s injuries required considerable physical therapy, which
resulted in her triumphant return to volleyball, basketball and many other
activities. Aurora knew then that, if she could help others as much as she
was helped by her physical therapist, a career in the field was her destiny.
A native Californian, Aurora spent most of her youth in southern Oregon.
She majored in pre-physical therapy at Southern Oregon University, where
she earned her undergraduate degree. Aurora was awarded her Doctor of
Physical Therapy from A. T. Still University (ATSU) in Mesa, Arizona.
At Andrew Physical Therapy, Aurora evaluates patients and provides
individualized therapy for a wide range of injuries and orthopedic
problems. She stays abreast of current research and therapy techniques
to help each patient return to maximum capability.
In her free time, Aurora enjoys the unique beauty of the Pacific
Northwest and its hiking trails, ocean beaches and, locally, wine country.

might be marred by the unsightly activity of moles and gophers. That’s
where Gopher Patrol comes in. Recognizing the need for a business

mole lawn activity. With great results, the business went viral.
A native of the Willamette Valley, Alex is a member of the state
contractors’ board and maintains a current wildlife control permit. Alex
loves the outdoors and the honesty and politeness of local folks. He also
enjoys interacting with his local clients and solving their wildlife problems.

or participating in any outdoors sport. If you are experiencing mole or
gopher destruction in your lawn, call Gopher Patrol today!
Austin Bowlin has always been a patriot. As a result, Austin recognized
the importance of properly displaying the American flag at an early age.
Today, Austin helps the people of the Yamhill Valley demonstrate their
patriotism in a similar fashion.
As president of Flagsmith Pole Co., Austin gets great satisfaction
from seeing his clients display the United States flag respectfully and
appropriately. With special acknowledgement to veterans and senior
citizens, Austin is committed to helping local folks demonstrate their
patriotism as well. Austin’s concrete construction and carpentry skills are
well-employed to this end.

Alexis Bishop’s mother likes to say that her daughter became a lawyer
because she’s never lost an argument. But Alexis says she chose the field
because the need for a strong advocate is crucial when a judge’s decision
will forever impact a child and a family. As principal attorney at Bishop
Law, Alexis helps children and parents navigate complex juvenile, family
and criminal court matters. In addition to an active juvenile practice,
Alexis also defends people accused of criminal activity.
Alexis was awarded her undergraduate degree from the University
of California, Davis before earning her law degree from the Willamette
University College of Law. A native of Chester, California, Alexis has put
down roots in the Yamhill Valley and takes great satisfaction in the strong

CEO & Founder
Knowing that marketing is a living industry, Devon Shryock wanted
to be able to finesse or perfect her efforts to help her clients succeed
on a daily basis. In short, Devon wanted to be challenged every day. As
lead strategist for McMinnville’s full-service marketing agency Suite 4
Social, Devon oversees all of the company’s client accounts and develops
marketing strategies to help them grow their businesses.
Born in Southern California, Devon was raised in Salem. Devon
earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and communications
from the University of Oregon. She loves working on Third Street and
enjoys McMinnville’s downtown life and its welcoming spirit. Devon is
excited to work with such a wide variety of small businesses — she
learns something new every day! She also is grateful she works with a
fantastic team!
In her free time, Devon is particularly fond of really good movies — and
really bad ones.
Growing up with parents who operated a small business, Rachel
Karl got involved in marketing at a very young age. After high school,
Rachel helped her father implement a marketing strategy which turned
a struggling seasonal business into a year-round success — a company
which the family eventually sold for $2.5 million. Rachel realized she
had a knack for marketing and now offers her proven services to other
business owners.
Born in Denver, Colorado, Rachel spent her early years in New York.
After graduating from the Delphian school in Sheridan, Rachel earned
a business degree. Today, Rachel oversees business development,

Growing up in the rental industry, Shannon Botten was perfectly
positioned to introduce her husband, Alan, to the industry’s intricacies
when the need arose and the time was right. When the couple launched
Botten’s Equipment and Event Rental in McMinnville, the business
opening filled a gaping need in the Yamhill Valley community.
In 2015, Botten’s Equipment and Event Rental expanded its rental lines
to include event and party rental supplies, allowing local folks to take full
advantage of the area’s picturesque vineyards, wineries and rolling hills.
Since the company already offered gardening and ground work equipment
in addition to rock, soils and bark dust, Shannon knew the company was
perfectly poised to fill a great number of local needs.
Shannon earned a master’s degree from Pacific University and serves
as a special education teacher at Duniway Middle School. Shannon and
her husband live in McMinnville with their toddler daughter, Nora Mae. In

When Alan Botten wanted to expand his radiator repair business,
launching Botten’s Equipment Rental was the perfect solution. With a
father-in-law who owned a well-known Portland rental business, Alan and
his wife, Shannon, were in a great position to fill a large need in the local
community. 2016 brings a new title and fresh logo to the expanding
company: Botten’s Equipment and Event Rental.
With a complete line of party and event rental equipment at Botten’s
Equipment and Event Rental, the company can make any local event
a stunning reality. But Botten’s is much more than parties! From
landscaping tools to construction equipment, from tractors and loaders
to welding equipment, Alan is committed to getting his customers the
best equipment at the best price. Alan knows that a good reputation
must be earned.
Alan lives in McMinnville with his wife, Shannon, and toddler daughter,
Nora Mae. When he’s not at work, Alan loves hunting, horseback riding
working his border collie.

building was the perfect niche. As project manager for McMinnville’s wellknown Cellar Ridge Construction, Zack gets to be himself while tackling
