I've had the pleasure of working for Bob Poynter in Seymour since 1997 and recently took the opportunity to invest as owner and partner of the Bob Poynter Columbus dealership It is our goal to set ourselves apart from all other dealers with our service, inventory, pricing and relationships. One of my greatest talents and joys is the ability to get to know our customers. I know the value of hard work having graduated from the University of Indianapolis with a double major in business and accounting, while playing football all four years. I'm married to Stephanee and have four boys, Jack, Jake, Joe, and Jude. Jack will be attending Indiana State University. Jake is a senior in high school. Joe is in sixth grade and our youngest, Jude, is in preschool.

I LOVE THE CAR BUSINESS! I have loved the car business since I detailed cars and pulled weeds here at Bob Poynter Family of Dealerships as a teenager. My father was a salesman at Bob Poynter's for 49 years, and I always loved going into the dealership with him. After graduating from Indiana University in 1997, I started my own career selling cars at Bob Poynter. I became a partner in 2009 and we have since expanded into four stores with 11 brands. I have been married to my best friend, and beautiful wife, Carrie since 1998. We have three amazing children Olivia, Hannah and Smith. I love to travel, hike, golf and spend time with my family. Our philosophy here at Bob Poynter has always been high volume sales at low prices! We believe it is not just a dealership, it is a relationship. Thanks to all our past and current customers and welcome to anyone new to the Bob Poynter Family of Dealerships.

I am new to the automotive dealership business, but I grew up around mechanics, so I guess I was destined to end up in the car industry at some point! I am originally from Franklin, IN but have lived in Columbus since 2009 with my two children. We enjoy cooking together and caring for our dog, cat and (many) fish. My children have been incredibly understanding over the last several years while I have finished my undergraduate degree in criminal justice and attended Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law to obtain my J.D.. I am thrilled to be a part of the Bob Poynter team and finally apply the skills I have learned to ensure you receive the best service possible.

I've taken care of this community for over 20 years. I hope I am able to help for another 20. I'm lucky enough to work for a dealership that takes care of their customers. I aim to improve our status here in Columbus with the aid of every one here.The training we go through at Bob Poynter puts us above our competitors. Becoming a car sales guy was a hard decision because I've been to dealerships before. I remember how I felt at the dealerships and swore I did not want to become one of those individuals. Now I have the chance to treat our customers with the respect and honesty I've always wanted. If you need service, a vehicle or just another crash course on how your vehicle functions I'll be happy to help. Thank you for letting us take care of you and welcome to our family.
