As the General Manager at EAS Tire & Auto, Bill Vanhoose has played a pivotal role in shaping the company’s vision and culture over the past five years. Initially focused on uniting the team and building a strong foundation, Bill now dedicates his time to growing the next generation of leaders through mentorship, teaching, and coaching. His leadership has been instrumental in driving both personal and professional growth within the management team, fostering a culture that makes a meaningful difference in the community.
Born in Kentucky and raised in Colorado Springs, Bill still calls El Paso County home. He and his wife of 30 years share a full and vibrant life with two daughters, three grandchildren (with a fourth on the way), a horse, two dogs, a cat, and even an African Grey parrot.
Bill lives by the phrase, “Be kind, we are all walking home together,” a reflection of his people-first approach to leadership and life. His adventurous spirit has taken him to fascinating places, with Antarctica holding the top spot after multiple seasons spent working there. Yet, despite his global travels, Bill remains grounded in life’s simple joys—driving his first car, a 1969 Mustang Mach 1, savoring Spanish and Mexican food, and reflecting on where it all began: as a high school busboy at IHOP, where he first met his wife.
