Debbie Hodel

Where are you originally from?

I was born and raised in Seattle, WA, and have called Arlington, WA my home for over 20 plus years.

We hear you raced cars! Tell us more! what was your biggest achievement in your racing career?

Racing has always been my passion, and I competed during a time when women weren’t seen as equals in the sport. I had to work extra hard to prove myself, and one of my proudest moments was becoming one of the first women to win a race on the 3/8th track at Evergreen. My love for the local racing scene is still going strong. I support my nephews who race both locally and across the country.

as the financial administrator for skydive snohomish, what is a core value that you hold?

Family means everything to me. I am deeply involved with my grandchildren, whether they’re biological, foster and found family.

You have been involved in and helped grow so many businesses! with all of your experience,  what advice would you give someone to help them excel in the workforce?

At Skydive Snohomish, I truly appreciate the welcoming and supportive family environment. It’s a place where everyone feels like they belong. I believe that fostering this kind of atmosphere and staying true to our ideals is key to success in any business.
