Meet Our Team

Andy

service advisor

I’ve been working in the automotive industry for over 24 years and have been a service advisor for over 22. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and enjoy everything this amazing place has to offer. I enjoy being outdoors; hiking, rockhounding, camping and exploring new places with my beautiful wife and two awesome bulldogs. When I’m not exploring nature, you can find me on my motorcycle – nothing like the open road!

14 years of industry experience. 10yrs specializing in Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen.

Teryn

Technician

I have been a Porsche Technician since 2012 and achieved Gold Meister certification in 2018. I enjoy electrical diagnostics the most and learning about the older models. I have a 1971 914 project that always needs work. Outside of work I enjoy autocross with Subaru and playing guitar.

Eryk

Technician

Learned early on I wanted to work with my hands for a living. Grandfather was an airplane mechanic and taught me how to wrench and working carpentry.

Attended a trade school in AZ shortly after high school and then the Porsche Training Apprenticeship Program. Got my first job fixing Porsches at Barrier Porsche almost 18 years ago, been enjoying it ever since!

Have been featured in Panorama, Total 911 and the local Spiel for work I’ve done over the years. Working at Chris’s has definitely been the highlight of my career over the last 6 of them.

I enjoy hiking, camping, climbing and breweries with good friends. I drive a Tacoma but one day would like an Air cooled Porsche of my own.
