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.

Quality car and deluxe treatment We were very worried about pushy car salesman and were dreading the whole car shopping experience. We went to two other places that were terrible so w We were very worried about pushy car salesman and were dreading the whole car shopping experience. We went to two other places that were terrible so were really apprehensive. We were very surprised by the laid back attitude of our salesman, Dan, and were never pushed or interrogated about our finances. Dan humored us in our obsession that there be enough leg room in the 3rd row and sat where I requested and moved his seat about to test leg room and such. Very patient and easy going. We said in the beginning that we had a budget and found the perfect car for us. We picked out the one we wanted but couldn't get it that day as it was too late, and wasn't detailed yet and we didn't drive our trade in there. We went back the next Monday and were pretty nervous that now they would start pushing for extended warranties and the like that would push us out of budget. Not so! We signed all the paperwork, a lengthy process made extremely stress free by Joel who was lightning fast at it all. He gave his little spiel about the warranties offered and he said 'now I understand you have a budget and this would put you over that. Are you interested at all?' We said no and that was it. No pushing at all. We were so relieved. We are so overwhelmingly happy with out XC90 it's getting ridiculous. Truly this was a fantastic experience and we are so delighted with our car. I have and will recommend them to anyone looking for a new or used car. Volvo all the way! Thank you! More

Awesome experience at Gorges Volvo Picked up XC40 that was ordered back in late April. Since the XC40 is a newer model I had so many questions about the vehicle and Mr. Charles Erickson Picked up XC40 that was ordered back in late April. Since the XC40 is a newer model I had so many questions about the vehicle and Mr. Charles Erickson has been great with providing me with any information I requested from him. He kept me informed about status of delivery of the vehicle until the moment it arrived in Omaha. All the paperwork was easy and now I’m enjoying my new vehicle. More

We came in the dealership to take a look at the XC90. I was not necessarily going to purchase right away. I was really impressed with the safety features. Dan Birge was helpful in showing me the features. We decided to come back on Christmas Eve. The numbers were right and it was not a long drawn out situation. They made buying a car easy and painless.
