Keeper of the Money!
Vicki was born in Kansas, not far from where Dorothy woke up to discover, "There's no place like home." She was not there long; when she heard the Wicked Witch of the West lived nearby, she relocated to Arizona for nearly 40 years, with short stints in Texas and Colorado. She settled in beautiful Pueblo around 2007.
Vicki has worked in various industries throughout her career; she counts banking, lobbying, senior care and construction among her credits. Just prior to coming to Pueblo, she was the Chief Financial Officer for a behavioral health center in NE Arizona. She has served on a number of boards of directors; her local Chamber of Commerce, a regional Health Care Center, and a regional Insurance board.
When we purchased HyMark Motorsports in 2013, Vicki answered an ad for a temporary part-time bookkeeper. She had no dealership experience, but like all of us, she has learned a lot along the way. More than 5 years later, she is still watching over the pennies... and nickels dimes and dollars!
Vicki has 2 grown children; one lives here, ond one in Dallas, TX. She lives with her "little dog" Baby, a miniature pinscher.
Some interesting facts about our money gal:
She has a long background in sports. she coached little league for more than 10 years; was an assistant coach for her daughter's softball teams, and was a high school baseball AND softball umpire. She currently hones her talents at the pool tables, as an active member of the American Poolplayers Association; she has played in national tournaments in Vegas and currently plays on teams in Pueblo and Colorado Springs. If you're foolish enough to bet against her in a game of 8-ball, there's a good chance you'll go home with lighter pockets!Nichole spent roughly 10 years performing with a rock burlesque group known as The Flaunt Girls. They perform across the country at biker events and rallies and were featured for 4 seasons on the truTV series Full Throttle Saloon. She is a trained ballet, jazz, tap, and hip hop dancer, and in the past 8 years Nichole has taken to the world of ballroom dancing. Not your average Service and Marketing Manager, this one. She also enjoys teaching dance in her "spare time" and she is an aerial fabric artist (think Cirque du Soleil.) She is a proud Navy Mom and avid supporter of our United States military.
A few years ago Nichole completed her motorcycle safety course so she could command her own ride. Her favorite bike is the Scout Icon.
Nichole did a great job running our service department, but she is an even better event planner. We have had 8 memorable Christmas parties in her time here, and she has planned and executed countless successful bike nights and weekend promotions.
Funny Fact: Nichole is... how should we say this?... a loud laugher. If she hears something that's funny, you're likely to know it if you are close by!
