    I started selling cars in 1998 while attending Indiana University.  After graduating from Kelley School of Business in 2000, I decided to continue my career in the Automotive industry.  I started at Pearson Ford in December 2005 as a Sales Manager and was eventually promoted to my current position.  While working at Pearson Ford, I attained my MBA in Business Management.

    I am married to a wonderful woman and have two amazing children, Ella and Grant.  I am very blessed to have such a great family at home and at work.  John Pearson and I share all the same philosophies and values when it comes to taking care of our customers.  Indy's Pearson Ford is a dynamic organization that provides opportunities for individual and team growth.

    I got my introduction to the "car business" while taking a year away from my studies at Indiana University.  From day one, I enjoyed the atmosphere.  I have worked in several other industries and none are as engaging as the automobile industry.  It is never monotonous. 

    But, after finishing my degree from Kelley School of Business, I moved west to explore other opportunities.  I lived in the metropolitan Phoenix area for nearly six years.  Low and behold an opportunity to move back home and get back into the "car business" arose and here I am.  It is almost two years later and I am loving life (aside from the Indiana weather!).

    Pearson Ford is an excellent organization, where the customer comes first.  I invite you to try our Internet buying experience and I know you will not be disappointed.  It is the wave of the future in this business, and it does not get any more streamlined or convenient.

    When I was eight years old, my father took me with him to purchase my mother a new car at a lage, local dealership.  From the very moment we walked on to that lot, I was fascinated by everything about it.  I knew from that point I wanted to work around cars and with people.  In 1998, during summer break from school, I took a job selling cars.  I decided early in my career that customer satisfaction would be my priority.  I started working at Pearson Ford in November of 2007.  I quickly learned that the entire staff had the same desire to create happy, satisfied customers as I did.

    Away from work, I am married to an amazing woman and have three beautiful, bright and energetic children.  My family enjoys spending as much time together as possible.

    I have been in the car business for almost six years and have loved it since the beginning.  The definition of a salesman is "one who sells in a given territory, in a store or by telephone."  I work with our internet efforts here at Pearson Ford, therefore, this definition fits perfectly.  The territory is nearly endless - through phone, on the web and here at our store in the Indianapolis area. 

    When I am not working, I am still working!  I am the parent of two wonderful children and a soon-to-be husband. I enjoy every second of life with my family. 

    Thank you for choosing the best Ford dealership in Indianapolis.  We truly do appreciate the opportunity to assist you.

    I began my career selling cars in 1998. But, since my childhood, I have always had an appreciation for automobiles, which makes my career in the industry very fitting and fulfilling.  I am always fascinated by new enhancements and features that make owning and driving vehicles a pleasure.  That said, my commitment to Pearson Ford customers is to make the process of buying your car or truck a pleasure as well.

    Away from work, I spend time with my wife of five years and two amazing children that keep me very busy in my spare time.

    I started selling Ford Motor Company products in August of 1969.  In March of 1976, I was offered the opportunity to take over an established fleet department with a large Indianapolis auto dealership.
     
    In 1980, John Pearson, III asked me to join Indianapolis' Pearson Ford family and manage their leasing company and establish a commercial presence which had not been explored yet.  I was impressed with the service department and Pearson Ford's dedication to customer service.  Through the years, I have seen phenomenal growth in both the dealership and the surrounding area and it has been exciting.

    I am proud to say that we are one of the leading Ford
    commerical dealerships in the Indianapolis area, selling and leasing nearly 13,000 vehicles.  It is a privlege to sell Ford vehicles as the quality, vision and durability is far and away the best ever produced.

    When you or your company have the need for a new or used car or truck, please allow me the opportunity to assist in that purchase.  Whether your need is a Fiesta or an F750, let my 36 years of commercial experience build you the vehicle that best fits your needs at a very competitive price.

    When people ask me about work, I tell them, "it's not work, it's a privilege."  It has been since March of 1999.  Spending almost two decades in the shipping and transportation industry as a front-line supervisor was excellent preparation for the "mental" aspect of my current level of responsibilities at Indy's Pearson Ford.  From ordering and trading to drop-ship deliveries, from retail to commercial sales, I enjoy what I do and am happy to help all our customers each and every day.

    This is my first experience in the car business and I have loved working here since day one. I have always been intrigued with cars. I grew up in a small town and I try to treat all of my customers with a small town feel. Pearson Ford has opened up so many opportunities for me and I can't wait to see what the future holds. I am here to give every customer the absolute best car buying experience they have ever had.

    I recently joined Pearson Ford after 20 years in senior sales and brand management in the golf footwear industry. I guess you could say that I enjoy people and this is a people related business. Pearson ford is definitely a people pleasing dealership. It was evident from the day that I satrted here, that the customer is king or queen. I feel my responsiblility is to assess the needs of my customers and find solutions to whatever problems might arise before, during, and after the purchase.
    As a former customer, I purchased four different vehicles vehicles from Pearson ford. The professional attitude and freindly atmosphere define those purchase experiences and set us apart from the other dealerships. My goal is to continue that tradition of customer satisfaction.
    I have the support of a wonderful wife, Linda and seven great kids, who have provided us with five grandchildren. My life is designed by our family and I am truly blessed as a father and granfather. There is never a dull moment at the Street family gatherings. Life is good!

    I started selling vehilces in 2004 after spending twenty years as a Master Detailer. I really enjoyed making vehicles look as good as they possibly can.
    Going to work in Sales has giving me the opportunity to grow as a person and has created some wonderful relationships with co-workers as well as customers.
    I'm truly blessed to have such a great family and work for such a wonderful company.

    I started in the automobile business when I was still in high school working as a painter for my uncle at a car dealership.  After graduation, I left the auto industry but still felt a draw (it gets in your blood) to come back.  So, I returned and spent the next 12 years working at the dealership doing everything from sales to service. 

    I joined the Pearson team in 2008 and have throughly enjoyed the move.  Pearson Ford is a great place to work.  The employees here really care about the customer experience and work hard to constantly improve upon it.  And, at the end of the day, I love the car buinesses for the same reasons I did when I got started 17 years ago.  Every day there is a new challenge and new opportunities from which I learn.
