Meet Our Team

Erik and his family are proud to be part of the Home Instead family here in Spokane. Erik grew up in Redmond; met his wife while attending WSU, and started his career as a teacher in Tacoma. After nearly 20 years in ministry as a pastor in Berkeley CA and Boulder CO, Erik returned to Spokane with a deep love for people and a passion to see them flourish and live well at home.

Erik and his family ski at Mt. Spokane in the winter and soak up the sun at Sasheen Lake in the summer. They dote on their two labradoodles, and you’ll often catch them cheering on their own kids on a soccer field or track.

Kristina joined Home Instead in 2018, bringing with her a heart for service. What began as a new opportunity quickly turned into a passion as she discovered the deeply rewarding nature of working in home care. Over the years, Kristina has served in several roles within the office, starting as a Care Professional and eventually stepping into the position of Office Manager. She also oversees billing, payroll, and compliance for our VA contracts—ensuring that every detail is handled with care and integrity.

Outside of work, Kristina enjoys spending time with her family, cheering on her athletic daughters, and tending to her small family farm in Elk, WA—a property that has been in her husband’s family since 1974.

Tiffani joined the Home Instead team in 2023 and is always seeking the best match for our clients and Care Professionals.  She coordinates the schedules and keeps our Home Instead team moving in the right direction. 

Tiffani studied Human Services at the University of Pheonix and enjoys reading, volunteering to serve the homeless, baking and providing comedic relief to all those around her.  She enjoys the Northside of Spokane and exploring places like Bowl and Pitcher.

Maddie joined the Home Instead of Spokane team in March 2025. They’re a communication graduate with experience in a variety of fields, from editing to retail and office administration. Their passion for recruitment began when Maddie helped hire caregivers for local veterans. Maddie loves getting to spend their days talking to potential Care Pros and is passionate about finding caregivers who will make a positive impact on the aging community of Spokane.

Outside of work, Maddie spends most of their time with family and friends. Their idea of a perfect afternoon is getting together with loved ones to play card games and share a meal. Both Maddie and their spouse are artists as well, and you can find some of their pieces in the office. As a Spokane native, Maddie grew up near Manito Park and adores the city.
