About Me

Turning a passion into a craft.

I first got started with a simple love for cleaning my family and friends' cars — an experience that genuinely lit a fire in me. There's something deeply satisfying about taking a tired, dirty vehicle and handing it back looking brand new.

Recognizing that love for transforming cars, I decided to turn my passion into a business. With a lot of practice and commitment, I can promise you I have the expertise to make your car look better than ever. Trust me to bring a renewed brilliance to your vehicle.

How it started.

I started detailing cars in 2022, initially just for family and friends. I loved it — it felt more like a fun hobby than a chore. I spent hundreds of hours researching the best chemicals and equipment, and hundreds more actually working on cars.

In 2023, I decided I wanted to detail for profit. I looked at the market of detailers in Missoula and saw a real lack of understanding for the customer. So I made it my mission to keep the process easy and affordable compared to everyone else in the area. Since then I've detailed 100+ cars and have only sharpened my craft.

Mission & Vision

Detailing my way through to a degree.

I started this journey with the hope of raising money for college. Now that I've graduated, I plan to detail cars all the way through college — and graduate debt-free.

I'm headed to the University of Montana to study biochemistry, then on to medical school to become a psychiatrist. That's a lot of school and a lot of money — which is exactly why detailing is perfect for me. I get to set my own schedule and do something I genuinely love. Every detail you book helps a local student chase a pretty big dream.

What I Value

The things that drive every detail.

Guaranteed Happiness

Your satisfaction isn't a checkbox — it's the entire point. I'm not done until you're genuinely thrilled.

Real Communication

Clear, honest, friendly updates from booking to finish. I'm always working on my communication skills.

Building Something

Learning to run my own business from the ground up — and getting a little better at it with every car.

Growing as a Person

Every detail is a chance to develop new abilities and grow — as a detailer and as a human being.

Born & raised here

I love this place.

Missoula isn't just where I work — it's home. When I'm not perfecting someone's car, you'll find me out fishing, hiking, or hunting. Montana gives me all of that and more, and I'm genuinely grateful to live here.

When you book with Herd Detailing, you're supporting a local kid who loves this community as much as you do.
