Meet The Regency Team

Angela BirchGeneral Manager

I have realized this year that I am a collector of Dr. Seuss books. I own more shoes/ purses/scarves than I would like to admit to and I have never even thought of myself as a shoe/purse/scarf-aholic. I love boating and being at the beach… needless to say, I’ve always lived in close proximity to some sort of body of water.

Andrew ChristopherHome Business Group Manager

I like to walk on the beach and listen to 2 chains for motivation, while drinking a nice tall glass of Iced Green Tea...........ha ha ha

Ok. Here we goI played classical piano for 12 years. 2. I was the first person in my entire family tree to graduate college - now everyone is going to college! 3. I have a 5 year degree I Architecture

Jon KarasMulti-Channel Sales Support Manager

Born in Massachusetts (that does not mean I'm from Boston), and lived there most of my life (spent a little time in New York, Virginia and Connecticut). I moved to Florida about 4 1/2 years ago, because the weather in Massachusetts sucks. Married for 13 years and have two kids; 11 year old girl and 6 year old boy. Enjoy spending time with them and going to the beach. I Played baseball for 20 years, and took up tennis a couple years ago because of my daughter, but most of my free time revolves around my kid's sports now.

Maegan RossBest Buy Mobile Supervisor

I have been with Best Buy since 2006 working as a wireless consultant, S.O., customer service rep and BBYM. Having the pleasure of working in four different stores has really given me the opportunity to meet some great people. Moving from MI to FL has been a great experience and this team has been amazing. I have a sister back in MI along with my mom, dad, grandma and the rest of my extended family.

Allison TraversHome Business Group Supervisor

Hey, I’m Allie. I moved to Jacksonville with my mom about 21 years ago from Long Island New York. I love being outside when the sun is shining, but that doesn’t make me outdoorsy. I have 4 sisters, two older and two younger. I am a licensed cosmetologist as well as the HBG supervisor at best buy 429.

Your ESI Team

Members

Dylan CrissmanGeek Squad

I am 25, an avid gamer, when I am not playing with my little girl, she is a newborn. I am into anything Tech; I keep up to date with CES and E3. I’m hoping to eventually make my way to writing game reviews for IGN or Machinima. I used to host a gaming podcast with a decent 2k plus following. I work out about 4-5 days a week and am down 85+ lbs. since I started eating healthier.

Clint MillerSales Support

First off, I'd say I'm pretty badarss but thats besides the point. Playing guitar is something I'm pretty passionate about and one day you all will be having to OMS my CD from another store when its always sold out. One thing I also enjoy is annoying John Morrison after store hours by playing things over the intercom... haha! I wrote this in about 5 seconds, but I'd say music and humor just about sums me up.

I’ve been working for Best Buy for three years. I started in Computers where I worked for about 1 ½ years, until I transferred to the Media department which is now know as Lifestyles. I then moved to Best Buy Mobile, but I was only there for about 3 or 4 months. I then transferred back to Lifestyles where I currently serve am.

Gabriella MontBest Buy Mobile

I'm Gabbie! I'm a South Florida girl who's come to Jacksonville to study Art History at the University of North Florida. I come from a big Hispanic family, and I have five brothers and sisters. Coming from such a big family has helped me grow to learn the importance of teamwork and working towards the greater good for all. It's also made me the incredibly big-hearted person I am. With that said, I'm super excited to see what great things this team will be able to bring to the store, to make sure that we are all HAVING FUN WHILE BEING THE BEST! (:
