Young Professionals — January 2016 3 Yamhill Valley’s young pros break the mold BY REBECCA QUANDT I am a young professional, but what does that actually mean? Is it a particular age range or professional group? I can only answer this question from my personal life experiences and without a doubt young professionals vary from place to place. One thing we all have in common is our high-level of creative thinking and a desire for flexibility in the workforce. Long gone are the days of negotiating retirement packages and 401Ks. Young professionals tend to seek positions with flexible work weeks and ample vacation time. Our work-life balance is very blurred, which means we don’t mind responding to work emails at 10 p.m. or on a Sunday. We will put in 65+ hours a week since we are motivated by the ability to leave work at 4 p.m. to make a yoga class, or have flex time to take longer vacations. We have diverse skill-sets and the ability to have multiple professions. We are the generation of, “if I don’t know how to do it; I’ll Google it.” No task is too complicated and we love a challenge. The ability to constantly learn and evolve is essential. That is why many do not stay in one career path. We move on and work at other positions, sometimes due to pay, sometimes due to the fact that we lack passion or feel unfulfilled. The young professionals in Yamhill County are unique in themselves. I have lived all over the United States and can easily say that the workforce here is by far the most collaborative. “Rising tides float all boats” is the motto in McMinnville. We aren’t afraid to ask for help, suggestions or guidance from our peers — in fact we prefer it. We encourage collaboration and you can see the positive impact it has made simply by walking through our downtowns. Here you will see the hard work and success of our young professionals for yourself. In McMinnville, for example, The Bitter Monk is full each night of the week with craft brew enthusiasts; Pura Vida and Community Plate are two of the busiest eateries in the area and you can’t miss the intricate hand-painted sandwich boards designed by Mitch Horning. These names are only a tiny segment of the young professional community, which is vast because we are constantly broadening our patronage, never settling for the same thing over and over. But the point I am trying to make is that we don’t fit a particular mold anymore. We can’t and shouldn’t be categorized by our age or profession, because we are so much more than that. We are creative, ambitious, openmined and, above all, collaborative. We are tiptoeing our way around in this world trying to find where we fit in. Encourage us, because we will encourage you. Like I said before, rising tides float all boats, and I truly believe that.

As founder of McMinnville’s Open Hand Kempo, Miller knows the benefits the martial arts can provide personally. “I enjoy helping people feel good about themselves in an authentic manner,” Miller said. Currently studying under Grandmaster Jim Brassard, Miller espouses non-aggression and tolerance for others with an emphasis on character building and self-control. Miller and his wife hand-picked McMinnville as the perfect place to raise their family. The couple is active in their church and the community. “Our goal is to impact this community in a positive manner and to teach others to do the same,” said Miller. 6 Adam Garvin has always worked in the automotive industry. In fact, the McMinnville native’s love for cars pretty much predestined him to devote his life to making cars look fantastic. As founder and owner of McMinnville’s Xtreme Auto Spa, Adam spends his days making the cars of local folks look like showpieces. At age 13, Adam detailed his first automobile as an assignment from his father and grandfather. Later, a high school marketing project introduced the first business card for what would become Xtreme Auto Spa. In college, Adam helped pay his tuition by detailing cars and a career was born. Today, nothing pleases Adam more than his clients’ apprecia tion for Xtreme’s outstanding attentiontodetail. Adam lives in McMinnville with his other half, Trish, his son, Aidan, and his beloved German shepherd, Carrera. When he’s not making local cars look terrific, Adam might be found helping his son build with Legos, visiting the coast with his family or sampling great food at local restaurants.

A native Californian, Aurora spent most of her youth in southern Oregon. She majored in pre-physical therapy at Southern Oregon University, where she earned her undergraduate degree. Aurora was awarded her Doctor of Physical Therapy from A. T. Still University (ATSU) in Mesa, Arizona.
