Hi, I'm Brad! I was born and raised in Devils Lake, North Dakota, and now call Washburn home. For the past 33 years, I've been proud to work at Schwan Buick GMC Cadillac. What I enjoy most about my career is the opportunity to meet new people and build lasting relationships with my customers. Over the years, I've been honored to receive several Salesman of the Month and Employee of the Month awards, but the relationships and friendships I've built with my customers mean the most to me. When I'm away from the dealership, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Lori, and our daughter, Kristen. I also enjoy hiking, following football and basketball, and working on home improvement projects. After more than three decades in the automotive business, I still enjoy helping customers find the right vehicle and making the car-buying experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.
