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.

The best buying experience. This is our third new car with Gorges, and Chad & Charles were fantastic to work with. The vehicle speaks for itself. But we chose Gorges because of Charles and Chad. with Gorges, and Chad & Charles were fantastic to work with. The vehicle speaks for itself. But we chose Gorges because of Charles and Chad. More

It all started when I was driving around the lot in my warm car on a very cold day when Cedric hurried out to offer his help.

It took me days before I made a final decision ... but during the entire time, Cedric remained patient, responsive, accommodating and encouraging. Reluctant as I might’ve seemed, he guided me toward the right decision ... an incredible car at a good price. I’ve had the car for nearly a week (parked next to my 1966 Volvo P1800 S) and have never had a second thought as to my decision. Thanks to all who facilitated the buying process. Craig More

My overall experience with Gorges Volvo was extremely positive. Everyone that we had met was very knowledgeable and kind throughout the entire process. Joel, the finance manager was beyond personable and positive. Everyone that we had met was very knowledgeable and kind throughout the entire process. Joel, the finance manager was beyond personable and made us feel very at ease during that part of it which can sometimes be stressful. Haley was absolutely incredible and instilled so much confidence in the decision to purchase the car. She provided guidance and support without being forceful or pushy which we appreciated more than we can every say. I feel very fortunate for having the oportunity to work with her and look forward to doing so in the future! More
