Meet our Team
Tina Karshner
I grew up in Newark, Ohio and attended The Ohio State University. While at The Ohio State University I worked part-time in the automotive industry and that is where my passion started. I have been the General Manager of Byers Imports in Columbus Ohio since February 14th, 1997. My Part time job in college has lead to a career spanning 4 decades in the automotive and customer satisfaction industry and I wouldn't have it any other way. I have been married to a wonderful woman, Becky Adkins King for many years with 3 successful children Shane, Deanna, and Adam. We are very blessed that our 7 grandchildren Bryce, Kevin, Cassie, Mishae, Sladen, Avery, Conley all live in the Columbus and Johnstown area. Becky and I stay very active in all of their lives and love to watch them grown up.
I started working for Byers Airport Subaru in 2011. I first started working with the Subaru brand in 2000, while living in Colorado. When I am not working I enjoy traveling to National Parks with my wife and four children, we like to hike and fly fish. My 3 older children are all college athletes, my wife and I enjoy going to their Soccer and Baseball games. A fun fact: I drive from Cincinnati every day to work for Byers Airport Subaru, its just that great here!
I have been with Byers Airport Subaru since 1993. One of the reasons I love coming to work is that I work with the best people in the industry. We are all car enthusiasts and our passion is to ensure that your parts needs are satisfied. Our parts department is second to none. Stop in or give us a call if you have any questions regarding your Subaru parts needs.
I have worked for Byers Airport Subaru since 2007, I grew up just around the corner in Pickerington, Ohio. I enjoy working for Byers Airport Subaru, in the parts department, because automobilia and petroliana is a hobby of mine. I look forward to being able to find you the correct part to fix your vehicle the fist time. When I am not working my wife and I enjoy collecting and driving classic cars.
I started with the Byers Organization in 2004. Upon hiring, I was at the Downtown Columbus Chevy Store; as a switchboard operator, then moved in to the Internet Dept. Manager role in 2006. In 2010, I transitioned over to the Imports Store. I have been involved in many facets of the Internet/Marketing Departments. I am currently the Internet Manager of all 5 of our Brands (Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, and Subaru); plus our 2 Pre-Owned Stores! I am very busy in an ever-changing environment and have a huge passion for my work. I am honored to say that I work for the Byers Organization! I have enjoyed many new relationships, as well as lifelong friendships! I am a huge Ohio State fan! I have 3 little dogs; their names are Woody Hayes, Eddie George, and Kirk Herbstreit (aka Herbie). They are spoiled rotten! I was born and raised in Dover, Ohio; a small town NE of Columbus. Dover is near the Amish Communities of Sugarcreek and Walnut Creek. I moved to Columbus 20+ years ago and love being here! I live in Hilliard, Ohio. I bought a condo in 2006 and love spending time at the pool in the summer, and walking my 'boys' (dogs) on the walking paths in my community. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family in the Hilliard/Plain City/Marysville/ and Dublin areas.
I have been with Byers Airport Subaru since 2019. I grew up in Hilliard, Ohio and was introduced to the automotive industry at a young age. My love of cars, especially for the Subaru brand, began to grow after watching a few rally cross victories. I am beyond happy to be here selling Subaru's for the Byers family!
I have been the lead valet for Subaru service since April 2008. I enjoy my role here at Byers Airport Subaru, our customers are amazing. I have been fortunate to live in many big cities such as San Francisco, Chicago and New York but Columbus, Ohio is where I call home. When I am not working I enjoy playing the lottery, one day I hope to win big so I can retire early.
