About

Brandon is the man responsible for making sure that every Urban Waxx is stocked and ready to go each and every day. He is a graduate from Portland State University with a double major in Marketing and Advertising, and when he is not keeping UW flowing, he owns and operates his own business! Brandon LOVES shoes (borderline obsession) …Jordan’s, Nikes and Yeezys are his jam. He loves to drive…and drive fast, loves to fish, and watch sports. Fun fact: Brandon is married to one of our very own Waxxers, Jennifer Dake! He is passionate about cooking…so I am guessing they spend their evenings dining on some of his creations.

Liz LOVES finding new ma & pa shops to stuff her face at (huge foodie), especially new coffee spots! She is happily married to her high school sweetheart and she plays volleyball every chance she gets. Liz is a pacific islander, and loves practicing her Samoan traditions as often as she can. Liz is very passionate in giving herself to fundraisers and events that seek out help for pancreatic cancer. Her grandmother passed from it a few years ago and it is something that brings immeasurable happiness to help others who are going through the same thing. Chai tea lattes & Disney movie marathons may be the only way to her heart on snow days.

Liz loves traveling and “people watching” to gain inspiration for her beauty & lifestyle blog. The gym & yoga contribute to her happy moods, and a little meditation kicks her stress butt! Halloween is her favorite holiday, and scary movies are her jam 365 days a year! Lastly, Liz is obsessed with her furry friend (Kai) who loves coconut oil, and snuggles all day!

Sarah grew up in Saint Paul, Minnesota on a farm. Her and her boyfriend packed their bags together and made the move to Oregon. She came to the right place because her favorite hobbies are hiking, camping, and all things outdoors. She currently has over 30 house plants in her home and she has no plan to stop there. Those aren’t her only babies though. She has 2 cats named Winston and Sebastian that she loves dearly. Some of her main interests are shopping, interior design and art. Which lead her to school for Fashion Merchandising. Fun fact about Sarah is that she hated chocolate all her life until about 2 years ago and now she can’t get enough.

Shannon Brown puts the FUN in our financials. When she is not geeking out on a spreadsheet, this mom of 3 and wife to Scott Brown is living her best life in Utah. Shannon Brown is full of life and love, and her experience managing 6 previous companies has made her an incredible asset and mentor to the UW team. Shannon is obsessed with all celebrations, and no one can out costume or decorate her. She has lived in the Dominican Republic and Hawaii and she is a certified rescue Scuba diver. Shannon also sushi and all sweets: most notably Hawaiian shave ice (she takes her own can of sweetened condensed milk to the local sno-cone shack).

This bundle of joy has an identical twin! I guess you could call her a fitness lover with a twist of clumsy. She tore her ACL from her longboarding phase she went through and has sprained her pinky toes a total of 11 times! Kayla is a left-handed perfectionist, yes she spent 3 months in Jr. High trying to get her handwriting as perfect as possible! When Kayla isn’t working she is studying psychology, baking apple pies and enjoying all the food that Portland has to offer.
