Meet Kraig Strom | Certified Financial Planner, Paralegal, & Highly Unpaid Car Show Organizer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Kraig Strom and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kraig, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
I started Cars & Coffee Corona back in 2015 and since then, the show has grown into the largest weekly car show in the Inland Empire. More importantly, Cars & Coffee Corona has become a community gathering place for people of all ages who share a similar passion for anything on wheels. The show quickly became a significant source of fundraising for non-profit organizations including the Corona Chamber of Commerce Foundation, the Navy Sea Cadets, and the Corona Police Department. In fact, our Corona Police Department Kids & Cops toy drive is the departments largest toy collection event.

What should our readers know about your business?
When I’m not enjoying my crazy car guy hobbie, I am a Certified Financial Planner and a Paralegal at an awesome law firm. For almost 3 decades, I have helped people with financial matters including life insurance to retirement income planning. I also enjoy working with families and business owners helping them get their legal house in order.

The biggest lessons learned is a hard one but I feel that work ethic and constant learning has been a key to my longevity in business.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
* Drive to Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead which are my favorite places in Southern California * Local BBQ at Speakeasy in Norco
* Norco Fair
* Drive to Santa Barbara on the Angeles Crest Highway
* Autocross with the Porsche Club

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Thank you to my patient wife Amy for putting up with all of my various activities. My work ethic comes from my father Quinton Strom
Thank you to my daughter Madeline Strom for inspiring me to pursue an independent business path.
