The best day would be to see your employees happy and excited with their part in the dealership operation and come to tell you how much they enjoy their job and working for us. A close second is experiencing completely satisfied customers, whether it is in the purchase of a different vehicle for them and receiving excellent service from our service department. Those are the things that make a big difference to me and make my day. Describe your all-time favorite vehicle. What are you driving today? Although I like classic cars, the new mid-engine Corvette is my favorite. Yes, I have one, a 70th Anniversary Edition and love it. What is your favorite way to spend your free time? Do you have any hobbies? I love to be outside, doing all kinds of things like working in my yard or just enjoying the fresh air. Then, of course, camping has been a part of my family life since I first got married. We have many fond memories of taking our family on those camping adventures. And, of course, traveling in our motorhome and seeing the many wonders of our great country is a great thing for me. Please tell us about your family. I have been married to my wife, Mary, for 53 years. She has been by my side, helping and encouraging me all the way. She has been a part of the dealership operation, mainly working in the office, although when we first arrived in Miles City, I was short a service advisor, so she dug right in and took that position until we found someone. She has since retired and loves the time she can do what she wants and grab a cup of coffee with her friends or submerge herself in her quilting activities. We joke that she has retired twice, but not sure if there will be a third time. We have two sons. Our oldest, Chad, is the general manager here in Miles City. He is married to Janelle, who does the marketing for the dealerships. They have three children: Jace, Natalie and Brynn. Our second son, Brady, is a structural engineer in Tempe, Arizona. He and his wife, Amy, have two children: Paige and Blake. WWW.MTADA.COM 19
