Michele serves as acting President of Arizona Appliance & Home, previously known as Arizona Wholesale Supply.

As Arizona Appliance & Home’s President, Michele is responsible for overseeing the company’s overall operations. Michele joined the Kodiak team in 2020 to lead Arizona Appliance & Home, bringing years of inside sales and operations expertise to the company.

“Our biggest assets are our people and our unique value proposition. Our tenured staff knows what it takes to provide the best level of customer service, as we are the only appliance company in Arizona that also offers flooring, countertops, and cabinets to builders.”

Michele began her career in the building industry in 1998 with Lasco Bathware selling bathtubs to builders. After that, she joined Whirlpool Corporation in 2001 where she quickly fell in love with the appliance and kitchen design industry. Michele held various sales roles in sales and account management with Whirlpool including Market Manager, Senior Account Manager, and eventually National Sales Manager. In this role, Michele was responsible for three of the nation’s largest builders with over $100 million in annual revenue.

Although Michele is not currently involved in any industry or community associations, in the past she served on various Home Builder Associations Committees, participated in Women in Residential Construction Events, and volunteered at Liberty Wildlife.

When she is not working, Michele enjoys cooking, entertaining, and anything outdoors – especially camping, fishing, and riding UTVs with her friends and family.
