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.

Great dealership to work with. Used VW we purchased had some pre-existing issues that they had taken care of for us before taking home and Nick was great through that time keeping in touch with my wife and some pre-existing issues that they had taken care of for us before taking home and Nick was great through that time keeping in touch with my wife and updating her daily since she was exited and incredibly anxious to get it home. Whole team we actually worked with were all kind and easy going. Awesome experience overall and we love the new car. More

I knew I wanted to trade in my vehicle, but dreaded the thought of the all-day long ordeal I've had at all other dealerships. At Gorges I had my appointment scheduled for 4:00 and was driving away in my ne thought of the all-day long ordeal I've had at all other dealerships. At Gorges I had my appointment scheduled for 4:00 and was driving away in my new vehicle by 5:30. My sales representative, Haley, was incredibly efficient and the whole process was very transparent. No secret meeting in the manager's office while we wait, we were included in every conversation and detail. Everyone there was professional and more importantly, not pushy, I felt very valued as a customer at Gorges. More
