Here we are again, sitting down with one of our team members to learn more about them. We love learning about our team! This month we are talking to Dory Martin, an outside sales rep for parts at our Chevrolet location. Dory has been with the company for over three years now. We sat down and gave Dory our usual “spotlight” questions and here is what we learned…

VanDevere: Hi Dory, thank you for taking the time to sit with us. We will start off easy… What is the best thing about your job?

Dory: Talking to our customers and learning how to be better at servicing them.

VDV: The customer’s are all amazing and there are so many learning opportunities here. What is the best thing about VanDevere?

Dory: The family atmosphere

VDV: Family is so important here. In fact, it is one of our core values. What do you like to do when you are not at work?

Dory: I play volleyball, go kayaking, take my dogs on a walk and spend time with my family.

VDV: All great things! Sand volleyball is my favorite. What inspires you?

Dory: Knowing I am making my parents proud.

VDV: Always a great feeling. You do such a great job here and you are a great coworker. If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?

Dory: Teleportation

VDV: I would pick the same. It would make traveling and seeing the world a lot easier. If you were to travel outside of Ohio, where would your favorite travel spot be?

Dory: Lake Charlevoix in Michigan

VDV: Also one of my favorite places to visit! My family travels to the upper peninsula every year and have a great time. Now, do you have a favorite place to eat?

Dory: Always down for some Mexican food!

VDV: Cannot go wrong with Mexican food. A big thank you to you, Dory, for taking the time to talk with us today. We appreciate your hard work over the past three years of employment with The Vandevere Bunch!

Here we are again, sitting down with one of our team members to learn more about them. We love learning about our team! This month we are talking to Chris Haught, a Courtesy Driver at our Buick location. Chris has been with the company for over a year now. We sat down and gave Colten our usual “spotlight” questions and here is what we learned…

VanDevere: Hi Chris, thank you for taking the time to sit with us. We will start off easy… What is the best thing about your job?

Chris: The People!

VDV: I agree. The customer’s are all amazing and the staff always make it a fun day to come to work. What is the best thing about VanDevere?

Chris: The family atmosphere and the superiors all want to get to know me and listen to me.

VDV: I agree, this bunch is awesome! We are just one big happy family here. What are 3 words you would use to describe VanDevere?

Chris: That is tough, so I will sum it up in a few words. Great place to work. Always look forward to it

VDV: It is tough to narrow it down and I think you had a great short phrase to capture it. What do you like to do when you are not at work?

Chris: I recently found out that I had a tumor, heart murmur and diabetes all in one doctor’s visit. I make sure to make the most of my life and take care of myself and others. God has a purpose for everyone and I am still here because he has a plan for me. After surgery and getting back to work, I continue to play in a classic rock band. I play lead guitar!

VDV: We are so happy and thankful to have you a part of the VanDevere Bunch! Love to hear that you love giving back and empowering others with your faith, which reminds me… if you could pick one superpower, what would it be?

Chris: Healing! The first thing I would do is start healing children and get rid of cancer if possible!

VDV: How inspiring! What is your inspiration?

Chris: I hope to fulfill God’s purpose for me and consistently give back to the community. My band travels to local bars and venues to raise money for kids. Another reason I love VanDevere, since they have a lot of focus on giving back.

VDV: Amazing! What a great way to look at life. God does work in mysterious ways and the Bunch is glad you are a part of the team to help give back to the youth in our community as well. Giving back is so important! If you were to travel outside of Ohio, where would your favorite travel spot be?

Chris: Nashville, Tennessee

VDV: Also one of my favorite places to visit! You should see if your band could play somewhere around there. I am sure that would be so fun for you and the bank members. Now, do you have a favorite place to eat?

Chris: Italian food is the best food!

VDV: You cannot go wrong with Italian! Last question, since we are in the car business, what is your dream car?

Chris: 67’ Pontiac GTO

VDV: Definitely an amazing car! A big thank you to you, Chris, for taking the time to talk with us today. We appreciate your hard work for the past year of employment with The Vandevere Bunch! We pray that your keep getting healthier as time goes on. We also appreciate all you do for the community and hope to hear from your band soon!

Here we are again, sitting down with one of our team members to learn more about them. We love learning about our team! This month we are talking to Kyle Dickon, a Service Advisor at our Kia location. Kyle has been with the company for over 9 years now. We sat down and gave Kyle our usual “spotlight” questions and here is what we learned…

VanDevere: Hi Kyle, thank you for taking the time to sit with us. We will start off easy… What is the best thing about your job?

Kyle: On my feet, talking to new people everyday

VDV: You do get to meet so many new people everyday. It is one of my favorite things about VanDevere as well. What is the best thing about VanDevere?

Kyle: Super friendly and ready to lend a hand. I made so many new friends over the years.

VDV: I agree, this bunch is awesome! We always help each other out and have so many team events! What are 3 words you would use to describe VanDevere?

Kyle: Family, friendly, good vibes!

VDV: These are all so very true. I love that these are part of VanDevere’s core values towards each other and our customers. What do you like to do when you are not at work?

Kyle: Hangout with friends, run, flip furniture

VDV: Nothing better than being with friends. It’s awesome that you also have a small business getting started in flipping furniture. I think that is a great way to make extra money and be creative! What inspires you the most?

Kyle: Making good relationships, making money to travel and go places

VDV: I would love to travel more with family and friends. It also is good that you have your furniture business to be able to save up for more trips. Speaking of inspiring things, fill in the blank, once I met….

Kyle: Chancy Billops (basketball player)

VDV: How cool! I have never met a famous athlete. It is always exciting to meet someone who is famous. That would be super cool, which reminds me… if you could pick one superpower, what would it be?

Kyle: Reading minds- always know if someone is telling the truth.

VDV: Honesty is the best policy! That is a great idea for a super power. What is your favorite travel spot?

Kyle: Go everywhere! I want to experience it all. Been out of the country once

VDV: Awesome! You will have to let us know where you travel to. Maybe even take the time to go through multiple states to experience more all at once. Now, do you have a favorite place to eat?

Kyle: Chipotle everyday!!! Dairy queen for desert. Five Guys is the best though.

VDV: I think most people would agree that Chipotle is great. I think Five Guys is also better. Last question, since we are in the car business, what is your dream car?

Kyle: Old school truck or muscle car. 50s style. Blue and wood bed. Baby blue.

VDV: Awesome! That is also mine! I love the color and detail you included as well. I hope you eventually find one that you love. A big thank you to you, Kyle, for taking the time to talk with us today. We appreciate your hard work over the past 9 and a half years of employment with The Vandevere Bunch!
