Urbandale Chamber of Commerce
Membership Director
I graduated from the University of Iowa with a Bachelors in Sports and Recreation Management. The beginning part of my career has been spent working in the sports industry as a sales professional including for a few of the local Des Moines teams. I am looking forward to transitioning my career to serving my hometown and having a positive impact on the Urbandale community through the chamber! In my free time I enjoy spending it with my family, my girlfriend and our dog Suzie.

Aaron Gobert
Garage Force of Des Moines LLC
Owner
In July of 2023, I moved here with my wife and daughter from Texas to start Garage Force of Des Moines. Since then, we've become entrenched in the Urbandale area. We live here, go to church here and run our business from here. We didn't know anything about Urbandale when we moved here but it has exceeded our expectations and we are thankful this is where we landed.
