Records Administrator by day, Rock Star by night. Hi, I am Kiba, your rock’n’roll records administrator here at Gaylord Claims!
I am a 25 year old identifying female who grew up in the car world as my Father owned a body shop for over 20 years. From working on cars to delivering car parts, you name it I’ve done it! That includes getting into nasty car accidents that are never, ever fun.
I met Jason through my cousin Patrice as he represented her severe boat accident in Edmonds back in 2018. She had referred me to him after I had gotten into my own. I was t-boned by a woman going over 55+ miles per hour as I was crossing an intersection with a green light. It was a miracle I didn’t walk away with more severe injuries. After settling as Gaylord Claim’s 5th case, I walked away with 30,000 tax free dollars instead of what might have only been 9,000.
I am happily working in my dream career, making sure your records and information are handled with the utmost care and safety as I know your pain as my own. You are not alone, recovery is possible, for we are here for you.
Fast forward to now, through hiring Jason for my case, Jason in turn hired me for my position in records administration as we share the same drive and views. Due to the severity of my injuries, I had been looking for a records admin position since the moment I was in recovery for my accident back in ‘19. It couldn’t have been a more perfect fit.

My name is Chad Westvold, the Property Damage Specialist at Gaylord Claims.
With a background of over 20 years of auto repair, parts specialist, auto certifications and customer service, I was confident in filling this role.

Hello, I’m Karla Del Rio, Relationship Specialist for Gaylord Claims.
My background of office work, production, and customer service has given me much knowledge and experience to be able to perform to the greatest level of satisfaction to our clients.
When I’m not working, I tend to spend a lot of time outdoors. I love spending time with my children and traveling to explore new places.
When trying to get a real understanding of their needs, I do my best to accommodate and find resolution for them. I play a big role with our Spanish speaking clientele.
Hello, my name is Charise Calvert. I work behind the scenes at Gaylord Claims, managing social media and producing marketing and multi-media materials. I met Jason through mutual friend and client; after hearing about how diligently he was working to help her settle her claim, I wondered if I could help more people hear about Gaylord Claims. I started creating social media for Jason and my role has quickly evolved as Gaylord Claims has gotten bigger and better!
Most of my free time is spent helping others through a non-profit organization dedicated to those who experience homelessness and addiction. I recently was able to marry my best friend and we have an amazing toddler that keeps us on our toes. I have worked in a variety of fields including management of a large corporate food service company as well as numerous restaurants.

Hi, my name is Patty Mattox and I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education. I have always worked with children, and I was also a Spanish teacher for many years. I love inspiring and motivating others, especially the younger students. My dream job was to be a teacher or a lawyer. I chose working with children to help grow them in the best way possible. Now, working at Gaylord Claims as a Claim Specialist is amazing…not only because I work with an awesome team that really cares for others, but I also have the opportunity to help others in need.
In my free time, I love fishing, camping, road trips and spending time with my family.
Hi, my name is Jennifer Bennett. I am a Claims Specialist at Gaylord Claims. I come to the firm with a very diverse background of experience and education. I have worked for insurance companies selling life insurance and have worked in claims departments, as well as the mortgage industry and am currently a mobile notary.
I love helping people achieve their dreams and goals. I heard about Gaylord Claims from a friend and was eager to join their team. I knew working for this company would fall in line with my career goals of helping people, since that is my true passion.
In my spare time, I love to go "glamping" (glam camping) on the weekends with my family, boating and most of all, getting together with family to watch a good Seahawks game.
In 2017, I endured a horrific car accident for which I hired an attorney for, and trusted her to handle my claim appropriately. After 3 years of recovery from my accident and a handful of medical bills, my attorney decided it was best for me to settle with the insurance company after already paying her 35%. With all of the medical bills, I walked away with very little compensation and definitely did not have enough to cover the next 20 years of continued treatment that I will have to do. If only I had known about Gaylord claims and the great company it strives for and how they put their clients first. They are known for working hard on getting the best compensation that their clients deserve.
As a result of my own personal story, I fully understand and empathize with people about the pain and frustration that comes along with an injury and an accident.
I am excited to work for such a great company that shares my passion for helping people
Outside of work life, I am a high school student at Woodinville High and enjoy playing football, spending time with friends, and listening and making music.

Being a native of San Diego, CA, Brian grew up with a love of sports and a variety of outdoor activities. The importance of teamwork was impressed on him at an early age which later evolved into Varsity Roller Hockey. Following his graduation from high school at age 17, Brian enlisted in the US Army in October of 1999. He graduated from the US Army Intelligence Center and School in Ft. Huachuca, AZ as an Analyst and was assigned to the 1/14th Cavalry Reconnaissance Surveillance & Target Acquisition Squadron before he reenlisted a was assigned to 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne), both at Ft.

During his military service, he also attended and graduated from the Non-Commissioned Officer’s Academy and the Basic Airborne Course before leaving the service in 2005.
Following his military career, Brian obtained extensive experience as a paralegal in the legal field, primarily in the areas of Family Law, Estate Planning, Probate and Real Estate. Additionally, Brian obtained his Property/Casualty and Life Insurance Producer’s License in Washington State. In these areas, he spent much of his time directly interacting with clients and assisting them as they navigated complex legal and claims processes.
Being the point of contact, often in more of a liaison role between client and attorney, he realized the importance of communication with the clientele.
Oftentimes, “fear of the unknown” is the most challenging obstacle that clients endure. Simply having a friendly voice to reassure them and keep them abreast of the status was paramount.
The ability to cultivate relationships, establish a professional network and demonstration of a servant-leader mindset is what made him the best asset to help launch Gaylord Claims.
