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: I like to mow my property and catch gophers. Also, I sing in a choir.
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: On the weekends and after work I referee for high school teams.
I started working for Hansel twenty three years ago as a part time detailer. I then moved on to full time after three years and after five years I became the supervisor for detail. Eight years after becoming a supervisor I was promoted to Detail Manager. I want to thank the Hansel Auto Group for giving me the opportunity.

Fun fact: My Grandfather was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985. My mother gave the induction speech due to his passing long before. I was lucky enough to attend with my family. His name is Arky Vaughan. He played for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Pittsburg Pirates and San Francisco Seals.
I have worked for three generations of Hansels. 3. Hired 11/03/87 as an RV warranty clerk until a position opened on the service drive to be an advisor a few months later. I have been on the drive ever since. I've had the pleasure to also serve 3 generations of loyal guests here on the service drive.

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.
