Fun fact: As a personal challenge, I hiked to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite on my 50th birthday. (For the last time!)
I had first applied for a sales position at Henry Curtis Ford in Petaluma, but was referred to Hansel Ford and started in 1987! I became a Finance Manager after about 2 years in sales. From there I transitioned to Floor Manager and then Desk Manager. I found the Desk Manager job to be more exciting and enjoy the interaction with our sales team and customers. I will soon mark 30 years with the group.

Fun fact:
Not too many
people know that I spent 10 years in the ARMY and took up SKYDIVING.
I answered an ad in the newspaper in April 1983,
"You can make $40,000 a year selling cars, no experience needed". That was the beginning. I have worked doing
reconditioning, as a Salesperson, a Buyer, and Used Car Sales Manager.

Fun fact: While living
in Southern California, I went surfing and snow skiing in the same weekend.
My most memorable moment working at Hansel so far was working with
a customer to find a new vehicle, it took me longer than usual to find exactly
what he wanted. fter repeated phone
calls and appointments with him, I found the vehicle and the customer was
thrilled. While I was finishing the deal
he told me he was somewhat sorry the deal was over. He enjoyed our connection and had a great
time working with me. It was a
satisfying moment and for more than just the sale. I will never forget it.
I started
with Hansel Auto Group as a Leasing Agent on May 15, 1989. The first office was on the second floor of
the Hansel Acura building, then the Lincoln Mercury Dealership. Two locations I worked at, no longer stand: the Saab/Subaru Dealership and the Prestige Auto Dealership. I remain with Hansel Leasing after all these
years.

I have two terms at Hansel Ford - the first from 1992 - 1998 and the second from 2005 to present. All my tenure here has been in Fleet and Commercial Sales as both the Fleet Manager and Commercial Account Manager. I have been part of two remodels and have occupied offices in the original Hansel Ford building (when RV's were still here), the Lincoln-Mercury building (now Mazda), and for a short time in the Accounting office (during the most recent remodel).

Fun fact: During the last year of high school I was a member of the high school choir and band. I played drums, and at times the trumpet. During this same period of time, I became a member of a local band called The Odd Jobs, as their drummer playing many local areas - as far north as Yreka and as far south as Berkeley - playing all original music.
I started in June 1991 as a Journeyman Technician. Worked through a major remodel in 1996 that covered almost all 10 acres. Promoted to Shop Foreman in 2000. Promoted to Service Manager in 2012. Helped facilitate our second remodel during my career in 2015.

Fun fact: I've been
playing guitar since I was 13, music is a big part of who I am. I also practice Martial Arts. I practice Kung-Fu and Tai-chi, which I
started doing in 2008. It is the most
fulfilling activity I can think of, I see myself doing it for the rest of my
life.
I started with Hansel Ford back in 1981. I worked as a Driver/Warehouseman for 3 years
and then moved up to the sales counters - first retail, then the shop counter,
and finally wholesale. I left for a year
in 1989 to work at Fremont Ford, but when I was offered the job as Assistant
Manager I jumped at the opportunity to return home, where I've been ever
since. I have done every job in this
department over the years (35+). I have
been through the major remodel 19 years ago that transformed the department
into what it is today. I am proud of the
way I've been able to develop the wholesale parts business here at Hansel
Ford. I've had great managers who have
taught me a lot and have given me the freedom to develop our wholesale parts
business into what it is today. It is
constantly growing and evolving. I have
a great crew working for me and I look forward to its continued growth.

Fun fact: I enjoy
doing car shows with my 1963 Ford Galaxie.
I started at Hansel Ford in 1987 right out of
high school. My first job was parking
cars, then Parts Department picking up stock orders from Richmond. I delivered parts and ordered parts. I then moved to Warranty and became a Booker
for Dispatch. Now I am the Dispatcher
and have been through a few remodels.
hen I first started we did not have computers - everything was
"hand-writes" and to look up parts we used microfiche. I love working for the Hansels
and being able to be in one place for so long.

Fun fact: I like to
play guitar. I play guitar in two bands,
the one from my church on Sundays, and the second one just for fun. It's called "Rondalla" and we play Mexican
music. Sometimes I spend the whole day
playing with the two bands, from church to private parties, one place to
another.
I started in 2001 at Prestige Acura as a Lot
Attendant. In 2002 I was at Hansel Ford
as a Parts Helper. In 2003 I became a
Freight Department Assistant at Hansel Ford.
In 2004 I was the Freight Manager at Hansel Ford. In 2005 I became a Counterperson in
Parts. I sometimes work Backcounter,
sometimes Wholesale on the weekends, but mostly Retail Counter because I speak
Spanish. Over the years I have met
wonderful people from all departments - many who no longer work for the
company. I have always gotten support
from all my Managers and co-workers.
