Steve Holten joined the Ryan Auto Mall CDJR Monticello team after several years in automotive sales at a Twin Cities Ford dealership. With experience dating back to 2019, Steve made the move not only to be closer to home in Silver Creek, MN, but also to spend more time with his growing family and become even more rooted in the community he loves. Steve lives with his wife, Amanda, a dedicated local high school teacher of 10 years, and their two children—with a third on the way. His decision to cut down on commuting reflects his deep commitment to family, faith, and being present in the moments that matter most. Known for his loyalty and honesty, Steve approaches each customer interaction with care and integrity. He wants every customer to know that he’s always available to answer questions and help meet their needs—before, during, and after the sale. For Steve, it’s not just about selling vehicles—it’s about building trust and relationships that last.
