Hi, my name is Joe Ruden. I was born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin, but have lived in Fort Wayne, Indiana for 3 years. I studied at the University of Memphis. I joined the O’Daniel Group because I wanted to work for a dealer again and have worked here for about 1 year. I am married to my wonderful wife, Barbara and we have 9 kids. I love to do woodworking and wood-turning in my free time. I pride myself in being handy, I will try to fix/repair anything that can be repaired.

We have trusted this dealership since 2007. My husband has purchased 2 new trucks. And they have serviced his trucks, my Ford van, then Flex for the over 10 yrs that we owned it. Was very happy My husband has purchased 2 new trucks. And they have serviced his trucks, my Ford van, then Flex for the over 10 yrs that we owned it. Was very happy to find this 2019 Flex at your dealership. I did not deal with Mike Lothamer, but seen and said Hi too. I purchased touch up paint from Jo, very nice man! Mike P was super to work with! I never thought I would own a white auto. Once I seen this one , “I said I will drive this white Flexie all over!” Mike & Nick both was great to work with! We do not trade up cars often. We keep them for many, many yrs. Happy to be able to keep our business & money spent locally❤️ More

I lost the first vehicle we purchased in OCTOBER to storm damage, totalled out my 16 Escape, and then we went straight to odaniel after picking up rent lost the first vehicle we purchased in OCTOBER to storm damage, totalled out my 16 Escape, and then we went straight to odaniel after picking up rental car and Ken and Nick found me another vehicle!! They have been very helpful!! I would like to thank them for their continued support. I am not the easiest customer to deal with, all my crying and frustration through the mess that mother nature created for me. They got me into another Ford, not an escape, but an Edge!! More
