I grew up in a small town called Wymore, Nebraska which is located two hours south of Omaha. In 2005, I graduated from Nebraska Christian College, and in 2012, I received my Master's in School Counseling. In my free time I enjoy playing golf and spending time with my family. I also enjoy rooting on the Huskers and Hawkeyes, needless to say the day after Thanksgiving is like watching my parents fight. Although I am not currently using my Master's in a school setting, counseling others make wise decisions in the car ownership experience is very important to me. My job here at Gorges Volvo Cars is to not only make sure you have a great experience the day you visit us, but for your entire ownership with your new car. Our Mission statement is to offer the highest level of quality products and service to establish life-long customers. I truly enjoy having our customers leave my office knowing they will be protected and having the peace of mind that we have their best interest in mind.

Everyone was kind and we kept a steady pace throughout the morning from the time we arrived through the final purchase. No complaints.

Chandler was awesome to work with. I would recommend him. I felt extremely pressured by Joel to buy extras. He became unpleasant and irritated after I said no to several offers. My exp I would recommend him. I felt extremely pressured by Joel to buy extras. He became unpleasant and irritated after I said no to several offers. My experience was awesome until I spoke with Joel. I would likely buy another Volvo in the future but get my own outside financing to avoid dealing with Joel again. Rather than feeling excited about my purchase, I drove off questioning my decision because of him. More
