About

I strive to maintain a high Sales average and a Maximum gross profit for the dealership I work for. I am very organized and effecient at co-ordinating the departments responsible for the preparation and reconditioning of vehicles for resale by our Sales Dept. I am also very customer satisfaction oriented and I strive to maintain a high standard of rapport with everyone I encounter during my working day. In the fast paced Automotive world one has to hit the deck running each and every day. That's how I like to view each day. My enthusiasm and leadership helps drive our team to new heights each and every month. Part of the job I do is dealing with problems and facilitating resolutions to conflict. Each and every person who arrives at our dealership is there for a reason and I stress this fact to my staff each and every day. Our dealership spends a LOT of money in advertising and every customer who shows any interest in our dealership and our product must be valued highly and shown every bit of courtesy and professionalism possible.

Recently started in Financial Services utilizing my many years of Finance experience. Vehicle selection is the key element to my position at Huber Bannister. Matching my customers needs with exactly the right vehicle is what I do best. For over 29 years U have been providing my customers, their families and friends with the highest level of customer satisfaction. I have a vast amount of trailer tow experience which I can share with folks who are new to the trailer tow experience and I am comfortable talking to the seasoned vets about horsepower and torque. I encourage people to bring me their vehicle challenges and I will make it work for them in an easy going manner.
