Tom loves cars. Whether chasing them at auction, hand picking them for his dealerships, or personally selling them, Tom is always hands-on and hard at work when it comes to his inventory. But just a few minutes with Tom and you will find it is not just the cars he loves, it is the people. When the phone is ringing or when a customer is waiting for assistance, Tom is frequently the first to help. In fact he doesn't mind vacuuming or buffing out a scratch or two - whatever it takes to make sure every customer need is met. So the next time you call or stop by do not be surprised if you are welcomed by Tom. He - like the rest of the staff at Valu Ford & Chrysler - is truly grateful for your business! (Tom is a native of Elbow Lake where he lives with his wife Kari and their two teenage daughters, Hope and Abby.)

Joleen and her husband Jay live in Alberta with their three children, Thomas, Jacob, and Gwen. Her passions outside of Valu Ford & Chrysler include reading, Sunday naps, and running. While not much for cooking, she does make one mean apple pie!
