Josh

Name: Dad

 Career: College athletics-sales and operations

 Favorite food: I'll eat just about anything. I think so many different kinds of food are so good. I do have a soft spot for Mexican and Chinese but I also really like a good burger.

 Hobbies: I like being outside, gardening, fishing, hiking, and see all of the beauty around us. We also have four chickens that I like taking care of. I also enjoy sports and being physically active.

 Favorite vacation: My favorite vacation was a trip I took to Lake Tahoe as a young adult. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and it was so interesting to see the area around it not being as pretty and then driving into the mountains to find a beautiful oasis. I had a similar experience on our trip to the north west coast. The best part about this, however, was being able to spend a week with my wife. 

 A few sentences about yourself: I love people and meeting new people with different backgrounds and experiences. I love my family very much and have loved adding to my family by being married to Shalee. I try to be connected with God and let Him direct me and be a part of my life. I am very excited to be a dad!

 A few sentences about out family: I feel like I have the best family on both sides. Everyone looks out for each other and cares for one another. They wouldn't hesitate to help someone in need or be a friend to someone who needs one. We have fun reunions and love to spend time together as often as our schedules permit. 

 A few words to future Knowles baby: We are very excited to welcome a baby into our home. We have been looking forward to children ever since we've been married. You will have the best mom and a dad who will provide for you and together we will give you every opportunity you want to take in life.

PaPa Kris

Name: PaPa (Kris) Career: Upon graduation I attended a Technical School studying Diesel Mechanics. I then started at Vulcraft when the plant opened and was a Leadman there over the riggers. I helped my father-in-law on the side at his Autobody repair shop, and that started my love of automobiles and the career to which I have been involved for 35 years. We purchased the shop from him when he retired and I decided to leave the same name (Bobs Body Shop) in honor of him. Me and my wife have worked side by side for 30 years, running a very successful business. Has it always been easy - probably not, but worth it - definitely so. I have instilled this love of the Autobody business in my son and nephew who work by my side daily also. Proud to say it will continue on as a third generation business. Favorite food: Mexican is probably at the top, but I am a true meat and potatoes man. I love a good hamburger and like to try new things when we are traveling. Love pumpkin- chocolate chips co...
