One fur baby, my cat Proto.

Best part of the job is meeting new folks.

The reason folks should buy from Ryan is because we have integrity and have the best people working in the state.

I am veteran of the USAF, originally from Ohio but have lived in Minot since 2007 and have been with Ryan Chevrolet for 6 years.

Hello I am married with 2 kids, have 2 Australian shepherds and 2 cats. I enjoy working a Ryan Chevrolet because I get to meet new people! Everyone should buy from Ryan’s because of our competitive pricing and friendly service. When not at work I enjoy watching my kids play soccer, my daughter plays for Minot State University Women’s Soccer Team…….. Go Beavers!! But I also enjoy scrapbooking!

Susan Kannakko: Born and raised in Ontario Canada, I have been happy to call Minot my home since 2011.  I absolutely love working at Ryan Chevrolet because I feel appreciated and they make me feel like family!  Starting in 2014 as a Sales and Leasing Consultant, I am now proud to be Manager of the Internet Team.  It is nice to work where the people are funny and optimistic, and I see myself here from many more years to come.  I have a lampworking studio in my basement and make glass beads, rings, earrings and small perfume bottles.  I also have a small addiction to jigsaw puzzles and my garden.  If I were a vegetable in my garden I would be a stalk of corn.  With roots firmly planted in the ground, lots of ears for listening, and the ability to sway in the wind because whatever doesn’t bend, breaks!

My name is Zebuelon “Zeb” Crawford, I am married with an 18 year old step-son. The part I love about my job is that I get the opportunity to change the perception of car dealers from the customer perspective and  help to make car buying a positive informative experience for them. I believe a customer should buy from Ryan because we are trained to give the best possible customer service and they always get a GREAT deal. In my free time I enjoy playing pool and golfing. Sometimes I dabble in a bit of car detailing (when I have time) but I love getting lost in a TV show series. I believe the actor who would portray me in a movie would have to be Jude Law.

My name is Eric Cornel and I am married with no kids. I enjoy working at Ryan Chevrolet because I get to meet different people in different walks of life and can help them to find the car they want or that suits their budget and needs. This job also gives me the chance to learn and drive different types of cars. I think that everyone should buy from Ryan because we give the best customer experience from sales to after sales, going above and beyond to provide exceptional service. During my free-time you can find me outdoors with my camera and drone, in from of my computer editing photos or watching tennis, basketball or boxing on TV. If I could choose the actor to portray me in a movie I would choose Tom Cruise.

Adam Desroches here, I have 1 dog named Buck II (the second). I enjoy my job because of the……CARS! I enjoy buying cars, riding motorcycles and spending time outdoors. Hunting and fishing are two of the top outdoor hobbies I enjoy.

Quirky facts about me: I am colorblind, I have purchased 28 vehicles in the last 10 years and I used to be a clown (balloon animals included)

Kyle Erck here I am married to Erica and we have 2 kids and 2 dogs. I enjoy working at Ryan Chevrolet because I like meeting new people and helping them to find a vehicle that they love. Its easy to purchase a car from Ryan’s because we are upfront and transparent about our pricing and want to make sure that you get the right vehicle for your needs not ours. When I am not at work i enjoy golfing, camping, traveling and hanging out with my kids.

Quirky Facts:
If I could be a color crayon I would be a green one, because I think it is the best color.
When casting for my movie I would want Will Ferrell as the actor to portray me because like me he is goofy and likes to make people laugh.

Mike Gietzen married to Stacey Gietzen, we are DINKS…………. Dual Income No Kids………2 dogs keep us busy. I like building relationships personally and professional at Ryan Chevrolet, we are a Family Hometown Dealership. My free time is spent at the lake, hunting and fishing. I believe that you are to treat people the way you’d like to be treated: Luck is the by-product of busting your fanny!

Hi Katelyn (Katie) Hawkins here. I am married, have 3 kids: a step-daughter, a daughter and a son, 2 dogs and a cat. At Ryan Chevrolet I think that the people and the customer service are amazing. Even after you walk out the door, we still care, its not all about the sale its about the person. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, taking road trips and practice shooting! If I were a crayon color I would be Yellow and Rebel Wilson would be the perfect actress to portray me!

My name is Joel Viall but everyone calls me “Joey”. I am not married, nor do I have kids, but I do have a pet yellow lab named Hotch! I like helping people find their dream car/truck and I believe at Ryan Chevrolet we’ll take care of you before, during, and after the sales process. In my free time I love camping, fishing and being outdoors. But I also like to play video games from time to time. If I were a crayon I would be a blue crayon since that’s my favorite color! I don’t believe in bigfoot because I think its just another mythical creature people created for fun. Look at every video of bigfoot people have caught, the quality is always so bad and you can barely see anything. Given the chance to cast a movie for my biography I would choose Leonardo Decaprio.

Mike Mayer
Engaged with 5 children and 1 dog. You should buy from Ryan Chevrolet because we want to make our customers happy, our goal is to exceed their expectations every time they walk through our doors. My favorite thing about my job is that I love meeting and getting to know new people.  In my free time I love spending time with my family, playing golf and making music is also a big part of my life!

Quirky Facts: Given the chance to be a colored crayon I would be a green crayon. I am not sure if there is actually a “Bigfoot” but I do know for a fact that there are some people with big feet out there. I literally just met someone with size 16 shoes!

I am Ricky Wuori, am married to Jamie and we have 3 children Lenny, Jasmine and Howard. At my job I love hanging out with people and driving around in cars! People should buy from Ryan Chevrolet because we have great deals and take care of our customers! In my free time you will find me hanging out with my family and golfing.

Quirky Facts: If I could be a crayon color I would be green and I believe in Bigfoot because well I am from Oregon. I would have Scarlett Johansson play me in a movie; she would need a lot of make-up, but she’ll do fine!

Danette Krumwiede here, I have been in the Minot area since 1997.  My husband and I have three boys, two currently attend NDSU and our youngest is in high school.  We as a family love animals, at any given time there seems to be a small petting zoo on our property. Currently we have two dogs, five ducks, eight chickens and numerous barn cats.  In the past there has also been guinea pigs, turtles and of course what ever creatures the boys would find and bring home.  I have been in sales nearly all my adult life and I truly enjoy helping my customers make confident and educated decisions that affect their lives.   I feel that Ryan Chevrolet is an extraordinary crystal clear dealership, we are honest and upfront and want to build a future relationship with our customers.  We are also very active in supporting our community and that is important to me.

In my free time, I can be found in my garden, shooting pool, throwing horseshoes or playing piano and singing.

Quirky Facts:
If I were a crayon, I would be royal blue.
I do not believe that Big Foot exists.
If I could have an actress portray me in a movie it could easily be Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson).
