About Annette Needham

Annette Needham was born and raised in North Phoenix, AZ. Went to Barry Goldwater High School and excelled in advanced placement classes and theater! In 1999 Annette graduated, and the very next day, she left to join the Army as an Intelligence Analyst. After serving as a member of the 23rd Cav Bde in Ft Hood, Annette got out and enjoyed civilian life and mom-hood. Life had its ups and downs, and after some major setbacks, she decided to pursue her dream and follow in her Uncle's footsteps in the Auto industry.

Walt’s Auto Group in Live Oak, FL, gave Annette that chance in January 2021, and she began her new career!! Annette has had the chance to work at both Walt’s Auto Group dealerships, as well as the BDC department. She keeps learning and moving forward. It is a joy to work in a small town dealership with a staff & owners that treats everyone from customers on up like family and a super strong female presence in all departments, including service!! Annette is excited for the future and the launch of our combined Auto Group social media accounts, complete with "Live" videos called Caffeine and Cars with another saleswoman Krystin at Walt’s Auto Group Ford store!
