Christine spent many years in different areas across the country but has returned home to New England.

She has worked in all aspects of the automotive industry, starting with selling cars and being a Finance Manager 32 years ago. Believe it or not, she was attending training at Heritage Insurance Group where Dave Yoshioka was the COO and he recruited her to work in his training department doing Dealership Income Analysis! This is also where Dave, Ken Hesser, Christine and later Ben became friends. That's right, there is a history that goes way back!

She left Heritage to go to work for a Dealer Group that had 18 dealerships in Northern California and Hawaii as their Director of Finance and Aftermarket. After 8 years and quite an education, this group sold to Lithia and she went to work for Toyota Financial Services. Having a background in all different aspects of automotive aftermarket, she was a perfect fit for Caltex, an aftermarket vendor, to grow their presence in the Northeast. Twelve years later a change of ownership at Caltex and Ken Hesser's passing, and it was time for her to return to her work family at Pettes and Hesser.

Fun for Christine? Pretty much everything! She loves her dogs, cat, goats and chickens! Laughing, tormenting her son and of course who doesn't like endless evenings of Netflix!
