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 Brandon Bree (Breeze), a sales representative at our Auto Outlet location. Brandon has been with the company for 3 years now. We sat down and gave Brandon our usual “spotlight” questions and here is what we learned!

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

Brandon: The people that I work with, and the different people I meet and are able to help.

VDV: That’s great! We do have an amazing staff and awesome customers. What are 3 words you would use to describe VanDevere?

Brandon: Integrity, honesty, and Family! These 3 words really mean everything to us as a company.

VDV: Fantastic three words that I can easily agree with. Definitely part of our core values as a company and I think everyone encompasses them. What do you like to do when you are not at work?

Brandon: Come to work! On my off days, hangout with my family.

VDV: Love being with the work family and my family as well! There is never a dull moment. What inspires you the most?

Brandon: My family. Everything I do here enhances the other aspects of my life.

VDV: Well put! It is great to be a part of a job that you love that gives you the opportunity to help out your family. Speaking of inspiring people, fill in the blank, once I met….

Brandon: The perfect woman. We now have a daughter and 15 years going strong!

VDV: That's the best answer ever. If you could pick a superpower for your family, what would it be?

Brandon: Timebending/freezing. I would have the ability to have more time here with my family.

VDV: Another great answer! It almost always feels like there is so many great things to do or experience but not enough time to do it all. That would be a great superpower. What is your favorite travel spot?

Brandon: Any Cruise! I would really like to try Alaska, but on the other hand, I am a freese baby.

VDV: Cruises are great! I have heard that if you want to go to Alaska, go during the summer. It is warmer and you get to see so many amazing creatures and the northern lights at night. Now, do you have a favorite place to eat?

Brandon: Whatever and wherever my mood takes me on that particular day.

VDV: It is a tough decision. There are so many good places and different cultures of food. Last question, since we are in the car business, what is your dream car?

Brandon: Rolls Royce Wraith

VDV: Definitely an amazing vehicle that I would love to have as well. A big thank you to you, Brandon, for taking the time to talk with us today. We appreciate your hard work over the past 3 years of employment with The Vandevere Bunch. Thanks for kicking off the new year right with a great spotlight!

Ben: My family. My wife Crystal is very talented at things I am terrible at and we would be lost without her.
