Mike Foxall, Customer Relations Manager
 Mike was born in Scottsdale, AZ where he lived until he was five years old before moving closer to his mom's side of the family in Melbourne, Australia. Mike remained an Aussie resident until the age of 12, when he returned to AZ for 4 years followed by the move to Washington with his Dad and brother Steve.
Mike began working in an auto parts store during high school where he worked for five years and won several "outstanding customer service" awards.
Mike made the move to Integrity when meeting Nate Bean through his church. Mike has been at Integrity auto repair since September of 1999, and says he still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up. Mike plays basketball and softball for Overlake Christian Church, and is on the leadership team of the "Illuminate" church service there.
Mike married on July 30th of 2006 to Amanda Hatfield whom he met while she was having her vehicle serviced at Integrity Auto Repair. Mike and Amanda dated for 14 months before Mike "popped the question" on the stage of a favorite band’s concert. Mike was supposed to be surprised by the concert tickets and mystery date that Amanda was taking him on, but Mike had a little surprise for Amanda up his sleeve. Amanda and her family are long time customers here. Mike and Amanda recently built a beautiful new home in downtown Snoqualmie where they reside along with their 6 toed Calico cat named "Bella". Mike and Amanda support multiple children suffering from AIDS in Kenya, Africa, and look forward to meeting these children in person someday soon.
