Steve Umling knows what it takes to build something from the ground up — because he's done it.
When Steve founded Tire Crew, he didn't just sign the paperwork and hand the keys to someone else. He was there. He oversaw the construction of the building himself, walking the site, making decisions, and doing the work it took to turn an idea into something real. That kind of hands-on commitment isn't something you can fake and the people of Blanchard have seen it firsthand.
From day one, Tire Crew was built on a simple promise: show up, do the job right, and
treat people the way you'd want to be treated. That promise worked. The business grew. Customers came back. Word spread. And when the opportunity came to expand, Steve didn't hesitate — he opened a second location, proving that what he built wasn't luck. It was the product of vision, hard work, and follow-through.
Eventually the corporate and investment world came knocking and wanted what Steve accomplished. Steve made the decision to sell Tire Crew. That moment speaks volumes. The business he started from scratch, oversaw brick by brick, and grew into a two-location success was worth something — because he made it worth something.
That's what builders do. They create value where there wasn't any before. Now, Steve Umling is ready to build Town of Blanchard into a safe, clean, and respected community.
Blanchard deserves a mayor who doesn't just talk about issues and progress — but who has actually rolled up his sleeves and made it happen. Someone who understands that building a thriving community, like building a business, requires a clear vision, smart decisions, and a leader who shows up every single day ready to do the work.
Steve isn't running for mayor to add a title to his name. He's running because he loves this town, because he's invested in its future, and because he knows from experience that the difference between a place that struggles and a place that thrives often comes down to one thing: leadership. He built Tire Crew into something Blanchard could be proud of. Now, he's ready to give back to the community that helped him build it.
