Stephen Has been with New Motors since April 2016. He graduated from General Mclane High School in 2000. Stephen began his career in customer service as a bus boy at Chi Chi's in 1997. Before joining the New Motors team he sold and delivered hand crafted hardwood furniture at The Amish Buggy. He chose to start a career selling Subarus because of the great experience his wife had buying a 2009 Legacy at New Motors. In his free time you can find him out on a golf course chasing around the little white ball, riding his bicycle around Presque Isle state park or working in his garden planting seeds and pulling weeds.
