Jacob Melson | New Employee Spotlight

Jake started his career in the automotive industry in 2015. As a second-generation car guy, Jake grew up in dealerships. With his youngest memories of being in the showroom and watching the hustle and bustle with eagerness in his eyes, Jake always knew he was meant to be in the dealership world. In 2020 Jake was promoted to a full-time finance role. Over the next 2 years, he learned as much as he could before accepting an opportunity at a much larger company, where he was consistently a lead performer. It was during this time that he realized his true passion for the finance office was in cultivating and developing others to grow and perform at a higher level.
