For Courtney, Vertical Doors, Inc. is more than just a career, it's family.

Courtney’s journey with Vertical Doors began when she was just 15 years old, starting out as a model for the brand. What began as an exciting introduction to the automotive industry quickly grew into a passion for cars, marketing, and the incredible community surrounding them.

Over the years, Courtney became part of the Vertical Doors family, transitioning from modeling into sales and eventually supporting the company’s marketing efforts. From coding and helping build the website to connecting with customers and promoting innovative products, she gained hands-on experience in many aspects of the business.

Her passion for the automotive industry continued to grow as she expanded her career into marketing and sales for the largest lifted truck company in the United States. There, she further developed her experience in automotive marketing, brand development, customer relationships, and sales.

Now, Courtney is excited to return to her roots as Executive Director of Marketing and Social Media at Vertical Doors, Inc., bringing her experience, creativity, and genuine love for the automotive community back to the company where it all began.

More Than Just Marketing

For Courtney, great marketing is about more than promoting a product. It’s about building relationships, celebrating creativity, and sharing the stories behind the incredible vehicles and people who make the automotive community so special.

Whether she’s showcasing a one-of-a-kind build, connecting with customers, collaborating with the team, or developing creative content, Courtney brings enthusiasm and heart to everything she does.

A Little About Courtney

Outside of work, Courtney’s greatest joy is her family. She absolutely loves being a wife to her wonderful husband and a mom to their sweet little boy. Their family also includes two lovable Morkies who keep life entertaining!

Faith is at the center of Courtney’s life, guiding her values, relationships, and the way she approaches both her personal and professional endeavors.

She has a genuine passion for cars, creativity, all things marketing, and, most importantly, the people who make the automotive community feel like family.

Full Circle Moment

Returning to Vertical Doors is a full-circle moment for Courtney.

From a 15-year-old model learning the ropes to returning years later with a wealth of experience and a renewed passion for the brand, her story reflects the relationships, opportunities, and sense of family that make Vertical Doors so unique.

Courtney is honored to be back, grateful to work alongside the talented Vertical Doors team, and excited to contribute to the continued success of a company that has been part of her life for so many years.
