I am one of the great grandchildren of our founder (or fourth generation) who works for Stillman Volvo. I am proud to work for my family and grateful for the opportunities they have given me. I’ve been a car enthusiast all my life and I’m told that I could identify a Volvo by the shape of the lights at night before I turned 3. I enjoyed growing up in West Chester and was drawn back to the area after I got out of college.
I first came to work at Stillman Volvo in 1991 at the age of 13, where my job was cleaning the floors in the service garage twice a week. I came to appreciate Volvo’s safety at an early age when I accidentally lost control and hit a wall inside the service department. My introduction to car ownership was a somewhat tired, but good looking Porsche 914 that I managed to buy for $1500 when I was 15. With some creative financing, I was able to trade up for a Porsche 944S a year later that provided a remarkable opportunity for me to experience high speed driving at Pocono Raceway.
I graduated from Penn State University in May of 2000 with a degree in marketing and played for their men’s lacrosse team in my junior and senior years as a walk-on. After college I moved into the financial services field working for ING bank and Lockwood Financial. While working with them, I was able to attain a number of professional licenses including the series 7. In January of 2003, I got married to my wife Melissa and by May of that year it was time for me to re-join the family business in sales. Melissa and I welcomed our first son, Luke, into the world in May of 2007 and we’re hopeful for siblings to follow.
Since my return to Stillman Volvo I have worked as a sales consultant, financial services manager and in my current role as sales manager. Out of my appreciation for my family's heritage with Volvo I began rebuilding a 1973 Volvo in December of 2000. The car is now about 98 % finished and is a good reminder to me of the business that has sustained us and the brand we have proudly represented since my great grandfather began with Volvo in 1963.
