I am a WNC native. I have a 9 year old son named Cayman and reside in Hendersonville. I worked in the cellular market for 5 years before finding my way into the Automotive Industry which I now have been a part of for 2 years. I am a Sales Consultant for Volvo, Hyundai, and Subaru. I am enjoy spending time with family and friends,watching sports, and trying to enjoy life as much as possible. I enjoy helping people to find the right car that fits their budgets and needs.

I was born and raised in England, and moved to the US in 2020 to be with my wife. I previously worked in the travel and events industry in England and was lucky to travel a lot of Europe within my role. I joined the Automotive industry after relocating and I enjoy the business as I get to meet and talk to lots of new people from all walks of life! Outside of work I am living the Asheville dream, hiking with my wife and Fox Red Labrador, enjoying the local breweries this area has to offer and still keeping up with football (soccer) at the local bars. Come and see me so we can find the perfect vehicle for you!

I’m a proud Hendersonville native and have been part of the Hunter family for a while now. I started as a mechanic, but I always had an interest in sales. When the opportunity came to switch gears, I decided to go for it—and I’ve enjoyed every moment since!

In my free time, I still love working on cars and taking my Evo out for a drive whenever I can. Cars have always been a passion of mine, whether I’m under the hood or out on the road. I’m grateful to be in a role where I can share that enthusiasm with others every day!

I’ve had the opportunity to call a few places home, growing up mostly in Augusta, Georgia, but also spending time in Washington, Massachusetts, and even Germany. I eventually made my way to North Carolina to be closer to my family—my parents, sister, and nephew.

I’m someone with way too many hobbies to list! Outside, I love mountain biking, disc golfing, and capturing the world through photography. Indoors, I enjoy playing guitar and drums. Lately, I’ve added racing autocross to the mix, which has been an absolute blast.

Professionally, my background is diverse. I’ve worked as a dental lab technician specializing in CAD/CAM technology, and I’ve spent plenty of time as a bicycle mechanic in shops. Recently, I transitioned into car sales at a Toyota dealership in Montana, where I discovered a new passion. I’m thrilled to continue in the automotive industry and help customers find their perfect fit!

I am originally from Hendersonville NC and now live in Landrum with my 2 children Luella and Maddox.

I have 6 years of prior experience in sales. I sold bikes to people of all different walks of life. Afterward, I spent a large amount of time in the cycling industry Trail-Building.

When he’s not working, Rick enjoys diving into a good book and spending quality time with his family.

Rick’s dedication, curiosity, and wide-ranging expertise make him a valuable part of the team!

Hi, I’m Tony! I was born in Asheville but spent most of my childhood in Southwest Florida, though I made sure to visit Western North Carolina each year. In the 1990s, I made the move back to WNC and have been here ever since.

In my free time, I love spending time with my family, especially my very active grandchildren. I enjoy being outdoors, cooking, and exploring all that the mountains have to offer. I’ve always had a passion for cars and closely follow the automobile industry.

I’m the proud father of three adult children and a grandpa to five wonderful grandchildren. I also have a yellow Lab named Gladys, who keeps me company on my adventures!

Growing up in a third-generation agricultural family instilled a strong work ethic in me, and while I retired from a career in culinary arts, my focus has always been on providing exceptional customer service and sales. I’m proud to bring those skills to my work here, where I continue to help people in meaningful ways.

I grew up in the Greensboro and Burlington areas of North Carolina and have always had a passion for creativity and craftsmanship, whether in the kitchen or beyond.

When I’m not at work, you can usually find me enjoying life on two wheels, whether it’s motorcycles or bicycles. I also have a love for fine watches, home improvement projects, and spending time by the river.

I share my home with a few feline friends who keep things lively.

Before transitioning into sales, I spent 25 years as a chef, honing my skills in restaurants, resorts, and fine hotels. That experience taught me the value of dedication, attention to detail, and connecting with people—all of which I’ve carried over into my current role. Helping others find what they need is just as rewarding as crafting the perfect dish, and I couldn’t be happier with where this path has taken me.
