Best Of Nisqually Gala

05/06/2026

November may feel a little ways off, but behind the scenes, the planning is already underway for the Best of Nisqually Awards Night Gala 2026 ✨

As we gather around the table dreaming up this year’s details, one of the first conversations always begins with color. This year, we’re inspired by Pantone’s Cloud Dancer, paired with Transformative Teal—a combination that feels both crisp and refreshing.

One question we hear every year: Why Pantone?
We came across an article that explains it beautifully… take a look! 👇

A beautiful testimony of hard work being recognized…Congratulations on your win!!

For 20 years, I worked quietly behind the scenes detailing—no spotlight, no attention, just hard work, long days, and a passion I couldn’t ignore. I spent those years learning, failing, growing, and dreaming… dreaming that one day I’d build something of my own.

Four years ago, I finally took that leap of faith. I stepped out of the shadows and into my own business full time. I didn’t know what would happen. I just knew I believed in the work I’d put in—every scratch buffed out, every interior restored, every lesson learned the hard way.

And now… looking back, I’m overwhelmed.

🏆 9 awards earned
⭐ 150+ five-star reviews
❤️ Countless customers who trusted me with their vehicles

What started as a dream has turned into something real—something built with my own hands, my own sweat, and my whole heart. And truthfully… none of this could’ve been done without the support of my amazing partner, Katie, who stood by me through every doubt, long night, and early morning.

The support, the kindness, the word-of-mouth, the people who believed in me even when I questioned myself—I will never forget it.

This is more than a business. It’s proof that hard work, love, and faith can change your entire life.

Thank you to every single person who helped me get here. I’m proud—grateful—and excited for what comes next.
