Wyatt Howell
Owner
Wyatt and his wife Michelle bought Comfort Keepers Spokane after raising their family in Northern California. Wyatt worked as a full-time firefighter for nearly 23 years starting as a volunteer and then being hired fulltime in 1997. In 2008 he suffered a severe injury to his back and hip saving a fellow firefighter during a fire incident. After two back surgeries, he was able to return to work for four more years before being medically retired on December 2, 2013. Long time friend and owner (Neil Goforth) Comfort Keepers Marysville, offered Wyatt a job working in sales and community outreach, but after 3 years Wyatt had worked through the various ranks and was promoted to General Manager. The pair worked together for 7.5 years experiencing steady growth while earning both local and national recognition and many awards. In addition, he worked as Chamber of Commerce Ambassador for several years, volunteered with the Area for Ageing, Meals on Wheels, and many other voluntary positions benefitting seniors or people with disabilities. Wyatt and wife Michelle, enjoy the outdoors and can usually be found exploring old gold mining towns in their off-road buggy.
Michelle Howell
Owner
Michelle has spent her adult life caring for others while also raising a family. Michelle first started caring for others as a fire fighter/paramedic, until she was medically retired in 2003 due to a neck and shoulder injury. She was able to secure a job with the school district that her children attended to combine employment with family. While employed by the school district she worked with special education students for eight years. Michelle decided to switch to her true passion, working with animals both as a self-employed animal sitter and as a Veterinarian Assistant in the hospital setting. In 2016, she returned to college to finish her degree and has since been working in veterinary medicine with both large and small animals. Michelle and Wyatt have always been very active in their community while keeping their children in sports, 4-H, and FFA. The family was especially active in agriculture raising and showing sheep, pigs, and dogs, all while rescuing the occasional horse. Michelle enjoys cooking, exploring ghost towns with Wyatt, and cuddling with her French Bulldog, Max.
