Hello, my name is Tanner and I grew up in the car business alongside my dad in western Nebraska. I worked in several positions at the dealership throughout high school and during the summers. I received my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Nebraska in 2008. After college, I worked as an EE for an industrial water company in Colorado Springs for 5 years. I have been with Hastings Ford Lincoln since 2014. 

I have held several positions in the store including Service Advisor, Service Director, Sales Consultant, and Sales Manager. My favorite thing about working here is working car deals and specifically, selling someone their first vehicle and being a part of the excitement. You never forget your first car! Outside of work, I enjoy several hobbies (too many) and spending time with my wife and kids.

Hi, I'm Ashley! I started working on a part-time basis for Hastings Ford Lincoln in 2015 to assist with their marketing, and just came on full-time in March 2020. I graduated from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln with a degree in Business Administration and Marketing. After college, Tanner and I moved to Colorado Springs, where I worked as a Sales Rep, and then a Digital Sales Manager at a broadcast television station for almost five years. Tanner and I moved to Hastings in 2014. 

Scott and I moved to Hastings from Sioux City, Iowa to purchase Hastings Ford Lincoln in 2012.  I joined the dealership at that time, leaving behind a long career in the banking industry. That skill set transferred well into dealership accounting, and I couldn't be happier working for the family business! Our team is exceptional, and it is such a privilege working alongside such a gifted group and getting to know their families.

During my spare time, I teach Jazzercise classes in Grand Island and enjoy time with our son and daughter-in-law and theirkiddos.  Hastings is a great place to live and have a business, we love it here!

Hi, I'm Jamie! I'm a Hastings native and have spent the majority of my life here. Cars have always been a hobby of mine, which is how I started working at Hastings Ford part-time in 2013. Seven years later, I now sell over 400 cars a year. I love sharing my vehicle knowledge with customers and getting to know them as friends. There's nothing better than doing what you love. 

When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, especially my two grand daughters. 

Hi, I'm Sherri. I have been employed at Hastings Ford Lincoln since 2013. I moved to Hastings from the Kansas City area to care for my mother, who was ill. I was working two part-time jobs in town, and came by the dealership to purchase a vehicle. I spoke with the manager and sales consultant, and it turned out not only did they have a vehicle I wanted, but they were also looking to hire a full-time sales consultant. 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. 

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!

Please follow my page to get to know me a little better and maybe even win a giveaway now and then!

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.
