I have been with Hastings Ford Lincoln since July of 2012, and at this dealer location for the past 9 years. I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and worked as the Manager of a company that sold home, business, and industrial flooring before I started at the dealership.
My favorite part of my job is being surrounded by like-minded people. No one here settles for "good enough" when it comes to customer service, individual and departmental goals, or anything else. We've been fortunate to win the President's Award and One Ford Elite multiple consecutive times, but still continue to chase perfection.Outside of work, my family takes up the largest portion of my free time, but I also love serving on my non-profit boards. I'm fortunate to be from the area, so I've also got a great group of friends here and we spend a lot of time golfing, watching games, lounging around my pool, and just generally finding fun ways to waste time together.

I was working two part-time jobs in town, and came by the dealership to purchase a vehicle.

I left with a nice used car and a new job a few weeks later! I will always be grateful. They gave me a chance, and I love it here. I work with a great group of people.
My favorite part of my job is helping my guests find the vehicle that matches their wants and needs. I love seeing that smile on their face and the excitement they show when we find the right vehicle!

- (402) 519-3268
Hi, I'm Wade. I've been in sales all my life. It started with cars in high school as a project with friends. Since then I've sold furniture, appliances, parts and finally landed right back where I belong in the best business, the car business! It is a great feeling getting to help people find just the right vehicle, and I'm so happy to be the one to help! Please follow my page to get to know me a little better and maybe even win a giveaway now and then!
I grew up in Inavale, Nebraska, a town of about 100 people. Rode the bus to school in Red Cloud until I was old enough to start driving. Once I got my first set of wheels it was off to the races! By the time I graduated from Hastings High School in 2004, I had bought and sold over 30 cars, trucks, and SUV's! Some highlights would be a 1974 Plymouth Satellite, several mid 70's Trans Am's, a 1969 Mustang Grande and a 1965 Chevelle! After earning my Bachelor's Degree from Hastings College in 2008, I went on to selling appliances for quite a few years. I earned a cherished list of repeat customers in the appliance business, some of which have come back and bought cars from me! For about a year, I lived in Abilene, Kansas and sold Cars in Salina with a great group of people where I learned a whole lot about the car business. In late 2017, I moved with my wife, daughter and two dogs back to the Hastings area and found my new work home at Hastings Ford Lincoln! We have such a great team here at Hastings Ford Lincoln, and I can't wait for you to meet them! It is a great place to work and I'm sure you will agree it is a great place to buy your next vehicle!Personally, you might find me walking my two Australian Shepherds, which I adopted from Start Over Rover. When the weather is nice, you might find me playing guitar with my friends downtown in the evenings. My very favorite thing to do is spend quality time with my wife and daughter! Some of our favorite activities are taking the hounds to the park to play when it is nice out and going to the YMCA to play when it's not so nice. We love to watch live music together and feel so grateful to be in this wonderful community where we can do so much of what we love.

Hi, my name is Liz. I have been with Hastings Ford Lincoln since 2019. It has been quite the year. I didn't know what to expect coming in as I come from a mostly retail background and most recently was an assistant manager in my local town until the store closed. I felt fortunate that I was given the opportunity to come in and to learn something so different. I have enjoyed every aspect of my job from the people I work with to helping provide the best assistance to our customers.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time outdoors with family and friends. Usually during the summer I spend time camping and traveling. I often take time to travel back to Oregon to visit family. If I am not camping or visiting family I am usually at home with my husband and our dogs working on house projects or getting crafty. I enjoy drawing, painting, and writing. I also enjoy trying new recipes I find or getting creative and coming up with something new.
