Art Lowenberg CEO & Karie Wallace COO
Arrow Moving and Storage is a well-known moving and storage company located in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Texas. Arrow was originally founded over 85 years ago. In 1970 it was purchased by the Ottoes family. Arrow has been an agent for Mayflower Transit and a family owned and operated business since the 1930’s. In 1995, David Ottoes became the President of Arrow Moving & Storage. He expanded Arrow Moving & Storage into Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1995, then Salt Lake City Utah in 2000, and finally San Antonio Texas in 2002. During his 29 years as president, David developed all locations into well-rounded, highly reputable, trustworthy and community engaged organizations.
David Ottoes, after 29 years as president, chose to sell Arrow Moving and Storage of Colorado & Texas to long-term employees, Art Lowenberg VP-Sales/Marketing/IT of Colorado-Texas, and Karie Wallace GM of Texas on January 1, 2024.
Art began his career with Arrow 29 years ago. He was employed as a mover while playing collegiate baseball and attending college at The University of Northern Colorado. Just like everything Art does, he excelled in college and graduated with a bachelor’s in computer science and a minor in business. Art started in sales at Arrow after graduating where he quickly advanced into the top sales rankings for Mayflower Transit. He received years of accolades, sales achievements, and certifications. As his career progressed, he took on management roles which included managing sales, marketing, customer service and agency development. Art’s deep passion for the moving industry and a customer-centric focus, makes him eager to step into his new role as the CEO of Arrow Moving & Storage of Colorado and Texas. Art’s vision and strategic long-term goals will rejuvenate the company’s culture. His organizational realignment plan will focus on Arrow’s new mission and values to better align the company’s operations with strategic goals. This will ensure continued growth and stability, while a strategic rebranding campaign will refresh Arrow’s image.
