I look forward to helping you find a vehicle you’ll love.

Jeff Englert

Sales Manager

Hello! Thank you for your interest in learning more about me. I was born in CA, raised in AZ, and became a Colorado transplant in 1996. I have come to LOVE this state & all that it offers! I enjoy the outdoors, though I don't have as much time as I'd like to partake in the outdoor playground that surrounds us. I have been known to attempt fly-fishing, like camping, and exploring the back country dirt "roads" to see where they go. I'm also a concert nut and love that Colorado offers a ton of venues to enjoy year round. It help's that my stepdaughter and I have the same taste in music! I spoil myself & the ones I love with vacation's to anywhere that we can SCUBA dive.  In my previous life I was a trim contractor, so the details matter to me. I started with Schomp Automotive in 2012 and am blessed to have found a great career with an AWESOME company!

Jason Hovde

Client Advisor

Hello everyone. I’m Jason and I’m from Boulder, Colorado. This is my first stint in the Automotive Industry as a Client Advisor at Schomp BMW. I came to Schomp because of their philosophy of doing business. I was in the financial planning/financial services for nearly 28 years, but I eventually got burned out. When I decided to change industries it was entirely because of Schomp's philosophy and approach to the car business. I would not have taken that chance at any other dealership group. I had been in the financial services industry since 1991 - about half that time I had my own personal financial planning practice (am a CFP, Certified Financial Planner professional) and the other half was spent as a Director with a local/regional broker/dealer as well as a Key Account Manager for a large financial services firm. My hobbies include golf, hiking, waterskiing, snowboarding and skiing.
