Jessica Brock recently joined Berg Performance as parts manager, but she comes to the role with a proven track record. So much so, in fact, that Aaron has actively recruited Jessica to come work with him at every step along his own career.

The two go way back to 2005 at McDonald Automotive when she served as parts person in his shop. They worked together again when, in 2010, he poached her to come work at 3zero3 Motorsports. She spent nine years there as parts manager. Meanwhile, Aaron was establishing Berg Performance and what would become Jessica’s future home.

Like many on the team, Jessica grew up in a car family—one that revolved around racing, buying, fixing and selling anything car related. Jessica considered herself a “parts person” as early as age 11 when her family hangs took place in the garage, and she would ride her bike to the auto parts store to get parts and tools for the cars they were working on. They also spent quality time together lapping the racetrack—her brother and uncles all had race cars, and she even raced for a couple years.

The smell of smoking rubber began to permeate her professional life as she took on roles at Colorado National Speedway selling race fuel and tires, and then doing deliveries for an auto parts store. A job posting for tire sales at McDonald Automotive caught her eye. Not long after she was hired on the spot, they moved Jessica into the Audi parts department—her talents were wasted on just tires. Cut to present day: Jessica was ready for a new adventure, and Aaron was eager to get the A-team back together.

Behind every part that gets ordered at Berg, Jessica is doing the research, checking the pricing and availability, placing the orders and verifying the parts when they come in, and then stocking the shop. Adept as she is at this, her favorite part of the job is no part at all—it’s getting to work alongside welcoming colleagues. She’s also glad to be aboard a shop that shows true commitment to customers through trustworthy work.

Jessica drives a 2017 VW Jetta but has been catching herself fantasizing about a Porsche Cayenne that the guys build up for her one day. For that and so many other reasons, she’s unquestionably in the right place.
