Amy is best described by her favorite statement, “All I want to do is geek out on paint all day!” She is genuinely passionate about paint, finds colours fascinating, and thrives on helping others with their paint projects, whether it’s a DIYer, a paint professional, a Home Depot associate, or a Behr teammate.

Amy’s introduction to the paint industry began during college in Vancouver, BC. To meet a work/study requirement, she worked as an apprentice at a local paint company, and then went on to work full time in the paint trades. After 12 years running a successful paint business in Houston, she moved to Austin, Texas in 2018 and joined the Behr family as a Hub Representative. Because of her industry experience and her ability to meet people where they’re at, she’s able to provide expert advice on the best products, techniques, and tools to ensure the best possible outcome on any given project.

Her favorite part of her job is training and educating others about paint. Here’s what her manager, Sarah Kaselnak, shared: “Amy has a knack for keeping people engaged and interested. Using analogies, demonstrations, hands-on activities, and applying her real-world experience, she helps people feel confident about their projects, no matter their experience level.”

Amy is a member of the inaugural DEI Council at Behr, and helped introduce Behr to their new philanthropy partner, the Austin LGBT Chamber of Commerce.

In her free time, Amy and her wife enjoy drives to the wine country in Fredericksburg, TX, and binge-watching TV shows. She avidly follows current events and the political climate. “I’ve studied political science and trends for years. And when my brain needs a break, I’m either at Q2 stadium cheering on the Austin FC soccer club or watching soccer on TV at home.”
