We’re excited to #welcome Zachary Colman to the DriveTime family as the Director of UX Design! Zachary will be responsible for creating a better digital experience for our Bridgecrest customers and partners, allowing us to scale and grow our business. “I was attracted to DriveTime after seeing how the team is open to new ideas, the opportunity to help customers who may be going through a difficult time, and the mix of both tenured and new employees all embracing the move toward self-service. Outside of work, I love to travel, so I’m hoping to do a bit more of that as world continues to open back up.” #LifeatDriveTime
It’s always the right time to show gratitude and it can be done in many ways, such as giving blood. Each quarter we offer our employees the opportunity to show gratitude by giving back to the community and donating blood to those in need. The blood donated from this past drive will save 170 lives! Thank you to our partners at Vitalant and Carter BloodCare for making our onsite blood drives in both Arizona and Texas, a success. And thank you to everyone who took the time to donate, including our CEO of DriveTime Scott Worthington. #GratitudeMonth #GivingBack

Outside of work I love to play golf (I’ve played over 60 different courses in 7 states and 3 countries), traveling, watching sports, and spending time with my wife, daughter, and puppy!” #LifeatDriveTime
