Meet Our Staff

I’m from Cary, North Carolina and I moved to Denver at the end of 2016. I’ve been in the automotive industry for more than 10 years, working at my family-owned shop. I enjoy Frisbee golf and hiking the local trails with my Australian shepherds, a red tri-coat (Lola) and blue merle (Leo). I’m looking forward to overlanding and camping Colorado.

Hello my name is Fika. I moved to the United States 5 years ago from Macedonia. I studied literature and graduated with a bachelors degree from Macedonia State University. My passion for creativity and the ability to express myself through poetry translates to my affinity towards the MINI brand and culture. I followed my dreams and found my home at Schomp where “Customer Appreciation” is not just a word but a promise that we give to you.  For nearly three years I have been an ambassador for the MINI brand, and I find pure pleasure in being present for every client’s vast experience. Finding your vehicle should be exciting, and fun, my goal is to provide that

I’ve been dedicated and in love with the Mini Brand for as long as I can remember. I am passionate about helping people find the right vehicle all while saving them time and money. My goal is to make car buying transparent, fun and stress free.

My name is Clay Shinkle, and I was born and raised right here in Colorado. I’ve been in the automotive industry since 2013, starting right when I was fresh out of high school. I started out detailing cars at Schomp, and later worked as a licensed insurance agent for the Schomp Allstate branch. I’m now very excited to have the opportunity to be in the sales department as a Client Advisor at Schomp MINI. I’ve always had in interest in cars and trucks, and joining Schomp was a great way to get my foot in the door for future endeavors. Prior to working for Schomp, I was a lifeguard and a waiter. I’m passionate about learning (primarily government and world history), drinking coffee, driving cars, listening to music, animals, family & friends. I grew up playing hockey for most of my life, and I still enjoy playing and watching hockey! After working for and being educated in several different departments at Schomp, I have a clear understanding of our clients’ needs and I have the know-how to help you achieve your goals. I’m looking forward to assisting you in finding the right vehicle that suits your wants and needs!

Hello everyone. My name is Scott and I’m from Vero Beach, Florida. I came to Colorado in 2015 to finish school, and I just graduated from Colorado Christian University. I love to play baseball – I actually played in college throughout my career. Playing sports and being in the mountains are my hobbies, so Colorado seems like the perfect place. This is my first stint in the automotive industry, and I’m excited to be here. I’m excited to help people find the perfect car for them and show them the exceptional customer service we offer at Schomp. I also have the cutest Golden Retriever puppy named Vero, that I’m always up to share pictures of!

My name is Jesse Cooper and I was born and Raised in Morrison, CO. My entire family was based in the Automotive Industry, so much so that I spent some of my childhood weekends helping my mom grill hot dogs and hamburgers during her weekend sales and it was something I just always enjoyed and stuck with me. One of my close friends who already worked at Schomp told me about here and it just seemed like a perfect fit for me. I joined the team in 2019. Before working at Schomp, I had just graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder where I received a Bachelor’s of Arts in Media Production. This degree allowed me to go down to Orlando, FL and participate in the Internship Program at The Walt Disney World Resort. If you bring up any Disney Song, I promise I will karaoke sing that song with you no matter where we are. Promise!

I’m a huge art and foodie kind of person. I love visiting new restaurants, food trucks, and coffee shops all over Denver on the weekends. Denver always has something new and upcoming which makes it so fun to explore! I also love photography and going on a random adventure to find new places with my friends! I am super passionate about my family. I grew up in a Single Mom household and my mom means the absolute world to me. My mom has always been my biggest supporter and has always encouraged me to do the best in everything I can.

I’m Daryn, born in Miami but raised right here in Colorado. I’ve been here since I was 3 months old, but the rest of my family is in Florida. Schomp MINI is my first position in the automotive industry. Before this, I was in the hospitality and restaurant industry.  I’m also a graphic designer on the side – I digitally paint portraits, logos and character designs! The MINI Countryman is my personal favorite MINI model because I love the look and size. Come see me so I can help you find the perfect MINI or pre-owned vehicle. I’ve always had a passion for helping people find things that make them happy while making it fun at the same time!

Hello everyone. I’m Patrick and I’m originally from Akron, Ohio. I came here to Colorado and got my career started in the Automotive Industry in 2020. Before joining the team at Schomp MINI I worked as a sommelier. My favorite MINI model is the MINI Countryman – because of its versatility. When it comes to buying a new MINI, I strongly believe that a proper MINI is built, not bought. Everyone should accessorize their MINI to make it their very own. When I’m not at the dealership helping my clients find and customize their perfect MINI vehicle, I’m likely out pursuing one of my hobbies – drinking some wine, learning about cars, going to the gym, or snowboarding.
