Jesse Hardin
I am married with 5 children 4 girls 1 boy who 2 of them are currently attending college. My wife just happens to be my high school sweetheart; we have been together for 34 wonderful glorious years. Before I began my career in the car business I operated a Haagen – Daz / Dove Bar franchise which is where I developed my outstanding work ethic. I started working at the age of 9 years old which consisted of me mowing all my neighbors’ yards. My second job was at the age of 12 which made me an hourly wage of $1.60 per hour, working has just been apart of my life. Currently I have been at Jeremy Franklin Suzuki for 7 years now and don’t plan on going anywhere; also I am the chairman of my church deacon board and love every minute of it. The greatest part of this job is helping people because even bad things happen to great people. On my days off I like to enjoy a nice day of golfing, even if my game isn’t the greatest.

Deon Willis
Sales and Leasing Consultant
My philosophy is Friends First. In today’s business climate that is sometime a lost concept. Many other dealerships focus only on your business today. I personally believe that you should never feel like you were just a sale. But treated like a Friend. I want you to be proud to say that Deon Willis sold me my automobile, and recommend family members and friends to do the same. That is what sets me apart from the other salesmen, the personal relationship touch. I guarantee a smile on every visit! If you have a problem rest assured, I will give 120% of my efforts to reconcile the matter in a timely fashion. Because that’s what friends are for. Myself and my family (Crystal, my wife of 4 yrs and our daughter Jordyn), appreciate your continued business and look forward to working with you.

I am one of two sons, which I am the eldest. I coached my brothers soccer team for 5 years and loved every minute of it. I believe leadership skills are a great thing to achieve. Not only am I a full time Sales Consulant, but also a full time college student which is giving me a great opportunity to learn and grow as a person. I enjoy working with people and helping others in need. I like to have fun at my job and keep myself active.
