    I am so proud to say I was born and raised in Abilene and am raising my 2 young children here as well, Brenton and Madisyn.  Being raised in a small town has given me the opportunity to love and appreciate the small things a town of this size has to offer.  From the old historic homes to the wonderful people that live here.  Everywhere you go, someone is always there to say hello and brighten your day.  Living in a great town like this makes me thankful for having the opportunity to work for a wonderful company like Holm Automotive Center.  I love being able to meet and greet all different kinds of people from all different walks of life and having the chance to make an impact in their lives, even if it is just something small as helping them to the correct department.  Holm Automotive Center is not only a great place to work but also a great place for all your automotive needs.  We look forward to helping you in the future!!

     I grew up on a farm northeast of Chapman KS and have been a Sales & Leasing consultant here at Holm Auto for over 20 years. Over those years I have worked hard to develop relationships with every one of my customers. It's been fun watching those relationships grow from one person to many generations within that person's family. My wife Amy and I enjoy raising our two young sons here in Abilene. I have also served as a Reserve Officer for the Dickinson Co. Sheriff's Dept for more than 18 years.

    I started working for Holm Automotive in 1986, right after high school.  I began my career washing cars but I worked hard.  Holm Automotive gives it's employees opportunity to prove themselves, and move up as job openings come along.  Now, 25 years later, I am the Fixed Operations Director, overseeing 3 departments and 20 employees.  Over the last 25 years, I have been able to take part in countless company sponsored trainings that have been invaluable to me.  I don't think there are any "perfect" companies out there to work for, but Holm Automotive Center comes close in almost every way.

    I am proud to be 3rd generation at Holm Automotive.  Currently, I serve as the General Sales Manager, continuing to appraisie, purchase and recondition our pre-owned inventory.  However, that wasn't always the case.  I started my automotive career in the wash rack on Saturdays and whenever else I had the chance.  I feel very fortunate to say that vehicles are my passion and I am proud to be a part of the continued Commitment to Excellence that is Holm Automotive. 
    In the last year, my wife Michelle and our daughter Grace, moved to Abilene.  It is nice to be closer to the community and growing up in Ellsworth, I like the small town atmosphere.
    Daily I search auctions all over the country to find the ideal used vehicle to meet our clients needs.  If you have a specific ride in mind, come see me at Holm Automotive.  We'll work to find exactly what it is you are looking for.

    If you had asked me 10 years ago what I would be doing, selling vehicles would not have been on my list - but I have found a new love! 
    I've been in sales most of my professional career, selling real estate before finding my "home" & "passion" in automotive sales at Holm Automotive. 
    I am proud to say I was born and raised in Abilene.  I have also had the opportunity to raise my 2 wonderful teenage children Reed and Shelby in our hometown.   
    I am proud to call many of my friends and family satisfied clients.  When you are searching for your perfect vehicle, I am available to assist you.  Visit me at Holm Automotive Center, you'll be glad you did.

    I am lucky to say I was born and raised in Kansas, I'm glad to be Sales Manager at Holm Automotive and support the Abilene community.  I went from changing farm tires to automotive sales and have truly found where I'm supposed to be.  My wife, Angie, and I have been married for 13 years and have 3 wonderful kids; Brayden, Mia and Hallie.  In between helping coach their sports teams and attending the girls' dance recitals, I enjoy spending time outdoors.  I'm currently teaching my 11 year old son all about hunting, and then hope to spend some time during nicer weather with him out on the golf course.  As an officer in the Abilene Baseball Club, I think it's important to help provide local kids plenty of activities and be a good role model.  When I'm not working on getting my customers the best deal possible, you can find me with my family cheering on the KSU Wildcats!  I am proud to live in Abilene and be a part of the Holm Automotive team that is so committed to excellence.

    Graduating from the University of Nebraska with a degree in Marketing Management, I didn't know the automotive industry was my next step.  However, the last 18 years have proven very enjoyable, challenging and rewarding.  After serving in both Parts and Service for a Ford Dealership in Nebraska, my family and I moved to Kansas.  Holm Automotive has been my home ever since, 11 years and counting.  My favorite part has always been the customers and helping you feel at ease with our dealership. 
    My time outside of work is spent with my wife and 2 children, helping out friends or golfing. 
    Stop in and visit us at Holm Automotive, we are here to serve.

    I started working at Holm Automotive in 1996, as a Sales & Leasing Consultant.  In 1998, I was offered an opportunity to help out in the Finance Department, never realizing that this would be where I would spend the majority of my next 15 years.  I've filled many jobs in the sales department, including the internet department, new vehicle order management, lease renewal manager, along with my current role as Finance Director.  I've been married for over 21 years to my wife, Sara and we have been blessed with three sons.  My off time is spent watching the boys' sporting events, riding my current motorcycle (2008 Suzuki Bandit) and getting together with my wife's extended family that lives in the area.  I am a music fan and love squeezing in time to watch sports on TV.  I don't know how I got along before my iPod & DVR!  I'm a diehard Chiefs, Royals & Wildcats fan.  Stop by & say "Hi" the next time you're in the dealership.  If you have any questions about vehicles, financing or warranty.

If the weather is not too great I am happy to spend an afternoon reading. I would never consider working for another dealership since I know that at Holm Auto we will always be focused on the customer's great experience throughout the entire time they own their vehicle.

    Collision Center Manager

    I have been in the auto collision business for fourteen years now. I grew up in the area and graduated from Chapman High School and then from MATC. My wife and I then spent the next nine years in Kansas City, where I was a automotive painter and then managed a body shop. We have a six year old son, Drew, and a newborn son Elijah.  About four years ago decided that we wanted to be closer to family and raise our family in the same great small town atmosphere my wife, Jennifer, and I both grew up in. (My wife graduated from Abilene High School and then Kansas State University) So we moved back to the Abilene area four years ago.

    I think an honest and straightforward approach and good quality workmanship is the key to keeping customers happy. I am very happy and excited to be at Holm Automotive and to have the opportunity to provide great service to our customers.
