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.

Professional Dealer Wonderful experience - they thoroughly reviewed what the car offered without pressure or dramatic sales tactics. The seller knew the car and it’s feat Wonderful experience - they thoroughly reviewed what the car offered without pressure or dramatic sales tactics. The seller knew the car and it’s features well. They were focused on creating a long term customer relationship with us. The pricing negotiation was straightforward and they went above and beyond to make sure the car’s technology was set up exactly how we needed it before we left. More

My dealer has always been helpful and they have a fabulous customer area with snacks and beverages while you wait.

Charles Erickson was great at keeping us up to dat The team at Gorges Volvo was excellent to work with. Answering all of our questions as they arose. Charles Erickson was great at keeping us up to date with where our new XC40 was in the production process. He also took the time to explain all the technology of the car to us and said to come back should I have any new questions that came up. Joe Isbell was also critical to our buying experience. I truly am thrilled so far with my purchase and look forward to getting to know the people in the service department, as I have heard very good things about them from my daughter-in-law. More

Volvo XC90 Purchase This was my 2nd vehicle purchased from Gorges and I travel from out of state to deal with this group. The reason I have chose to buy my car from this This was my 2nd vehicle purchased from Gorges and I travel from out of state to deal with this group. The reason I have chose to buy my car from this dealership was the upfront professionalism, honesty and vehicle knowledge they offer. They also were upfront when dealing with purchase price and the ease of buying this vehicle was quick from the time I arrived at the dealership to the time I left. They know what they are doing. My local Volvo dealership doesn't compare to this team. I have had 2 very good experiences with Gorges and will continue to travel to them on my next Volvo purchase going forward. More

Outstate buying made easy Found a 2018 XC90 online through Gorges. Called them up and was forwarded to Aaron. He was awesome! Made the process of buying easy and streamlined Found a 2018 XC90 online through Gorges. Called them up and was forwarded to Aaron. He was awesome! Made the process of buying easy and streamlined. Was even able to add some optional equipment. Aaron picked me up at the airport and then once at the dealership, he patiently waited as I examined the vehicle. Probably spent a total of 3 hours from initial contact to driving off the lot with the vehicle, and everything in between. Joel, in the finance dept, was also awesome. Answered all of my questions and got all the paper work done quickly to get me on the road. They also make great lunch recommendations!! Plan to purchase from Gorges again. More
