Congratulations to Jon Wolter and Eric Kawaguchi, both 20-Year Senior Master Technicians at Future Ford of Clovis! To become a Ford Senior Master Tech they completed hundreds of hours of training, passed multiple certification exams and had five years of service at a Ford dealership. To maintain their Senior Master status, these technicians have taken all new required training for the last 20 years. They are the best of the best, and Future is so fortunate to have them both on our team.

She believed she could, so she did. A few years ago, Melissa moved to Concord from Mexico by herself. She learned English and overcame many challenges, before joining the Future Automotive Group. She credits where she is today to learning from others (specifically Jimmy's training), her coworkers' guidance, moral support from afar and the meaningful friendships she's made so far during her time here.
"When you face difficult times, know that challenges are not sent to destroy you. They're sent to promote, increase and strengthen you."

Co-Worker, Mentor, Friend
After 34 years, Tom retires today from Future Nissan of Roseville. Throughout his time here, he has been not only a co-worker and mentor, but a friend to many. He has set an example to be followed in the future and cherished by those of us that were fortunate enough to have experienced it for ourselves.

Maribel started working in the automotive industry over 20 years ago at a parts store, but her experience with cars didn’t start there. As an 11 year old young girl, she began working on cars with her dad, and the hobby has continued ever since then. Her favorite car she’s worked on to date was an ‘81 Chevy Blazer. Today, she’s a shining star in the service department at Future Hyundai and one of the longest tenured employees at our Concord locations.

Feel it, hear it, experience it.
That’s Mauricio’s motto when it comes to vehicles. Over 10 years in the business and he still loves the smell of a brand new car. Who doesn’t love that smell though?

New to the sales side of the automotive industry, Joey is looking forward to learning the Hyundai lineup in and out. It’s important to him to know the vehicles and be able to serve his customers without hesitation. He’s particularly excited about EVs and where they can take us in the future.

A celebratory milestone.
41 years ago today, she started with Future back when there was just 1 dealership and less than 20 employees. In the years since then, she’s seen tremendous growth with our group to now 12 dealerships and over 1,100 employees. Suzie’s hard work, dedication, and loyalty is appreciated by all. #WorkAnniversary

His first car was a 2011 Camaro SS. His current rides are a Mazda 3 and motorcycle. But his dream? It’s a C8 Corvette with an orange exterior and black leather contrasting seats.

“One opportunity used wisely can change your life dramatically.”
Living in Florida less than 6 months ago, 18 year old Anthony was at a crossroads in his current job and given the chance to attend a sales training event in Arizona with The Elliot Group. There, he connected with a few guys who worked at a Nissan dealership in Roseville, California. One thing led to another and a door opened. He packed up everything he owned in just one suitcase and book bag, and moved across the country to sell cars for Future. 4 months later, his story is just beginning.
