Blake is a Graduate of the University of Nebraska Lincoln, where he received a BA in Business Management and communications.

After Graduation, he launched his career in Grand Island at the local Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep dealership. He held many roles within the dealership including Finance Director, Sales Manager, General Sales Manager and General Manager. That eventually led to a partnership in the dealership. After the dealership sold in 2016, Blake stayed with the firm to help with the transition. After a year he realized it was time to start something new - thus Grand Auto Sales was born.

Growing up in Central Nebraska Blake learned a good work ethic, a sense of responsibility and what home town values are. This all translates to his work career and how important it is to take care of the customer. He was involved in many different sporting events and clubs thru his high school and college career. Recently he was on the Leadership tomorrow board, helped organize the duck derby, volunteers at different events and is always trying to help better the community. Blake and His wife Jill have been married 10 years and have 3 children. Macy 6, Carter 4, and Callie 4. With 3 young children Blake is just starting to realize how great Grand Island is with all the different events for the kids. Soccer, gymnastics, dance, volleyball, just to name a few. Spending time with his family is what motivates Blake every day.
