Allen Geissler, Bozeman Ford I don't know of any other professional-wage-paying industry that is this much fun. Mike Nicholes, Capital Management Inc. Not only has it been the most satisfying thing, affording the most fun I have (had) over the past 42 years …It has enabled me to meet dealers and, especially, their parts managers in 72 countries… It might be only parts, but they are an important cog in the wheel of one of the greatest industries on earth. Dan Ladd, Speedway Chrysler Dodge Jeep Inc. I have been in the car business over 40 years and a dealer for over 25 years, and I have never had a boring day! Geoff Parker, ADESA, Cincinnati There is nothing like the excitement of sale day! Marv Eleazer, Langdale Ford When work ceases being a job and becomes what you do … then it evolves into a career. Though I might've taken a path towards being a GM along the way, I've discovered this position [finance director] to be so rewarding that I simply can't picture myself doing anything else. Kory S. Hughes, Larry Green Auto Group It's all that I've poured my life into for the last 28 years. Danette Dieffenbach, Dieffenbach GM Superstore America has a unique and powerful love affair with the automobile. Your first purchase is a hallmark in a person's life. It represents freedom and a sense of independence. Victoria Kessler, ADESA It's in my blood! I grew up in this business, and it's truly my family. J. Townley, Peach County Ford I love the auto industry because it is the only business I know that starts over every 30 days. I work for a Ford deal- ership, and nothing screams America like a Ford Mustang and the grit of pure America like the F-series. Every day I see every walk of life, from the six-figure salary white-collar people to the hard-working blue-collar guys and gals. It makes me proud to work in a business that employs one out of 10 Americans. Joe Amra, North Hills Toyota Scion I love the auto industry because we are like lawyers and doctors. We practice every day! Making dreams come true and giving people a world class experience when buying an automobile is exciting! The challenge we face every day to out-do the competition makes our employees happy. AND FINALLY … Kurt Angermeier, Rytec High Performance Doors No list would be complete without the new car smell. 33
