My family started in the car business over 70 years ago in Concord, NH. I got started in the industry right after college. The first car I sold was a 1978 used Volare "Woody" Wagon.

Rob has been an essential part of the Hampton Ford Hyundai family since 1999. His laid back, considerate personality is the core of his zealous customer following. In 2016, Rob was promoted to General Sales Manager of the dealership.

David has been in the automotive industry since 1995 and has experience in all aspects of the parts and service department. David enjoys time with his children and traveling all over the world. In his spare time, he usually can be found golfing, which is not very often with 2 young kids at home. 

Karla recently joined our family early May of 2019. She has always been a fan of driving and cars in general and wanted to make the car buying experience enjoyable, fast and fun for others, including first-time buyers. When not at the dealership helping new customers, she enjoys cruising along coastal Rt 1 or spending time actually on the beach (not just looking at it from her vehicle). Here's a cool little fact about Karla: she flew a Cessna once out of Skyhaven Airport in Rochester; she got to take off, do banked turns over the ocean off of York, Maine, and land the plane! And her favorite vehicle is a Mustang... we think she's in the right place for that!

Tina joined the Hampton Ford Hyundai family as a Product Specialist in February 2018. A little while later she moved into our Internet Sales role, acting as the first impression of the dealership for many new customers coming to our websites. Unlike most people. Tina loves the car shopping experience and decided she wanted to be there for people ready to take the next steps in the car buying journey. When Tina isn't at the dealership, you may find her binge-watching Supernatural or Grey's Anatomy, that is if she's not chasing after her cute as a button puppy (who may have a side-gig as a personal assistant to the Devil). Tina is fluent in Greek and would love to challenge anyone to try to pronounce her Maiden name (Tzortzakis).

Jimmy joined out Wholesale Outlet in 2016. With a contagious giggle, you won't be able to keep yourself from smiling along. Jimmy has been a wonderful addition to our Wholesale team, doing excellent work alongside long-time employee, Brenden Lavery. 

One of the newest members of the Hampton Ford Hyundai Service team, Sue joined the family in 2018. She may be a fresh face here at the dealership, but she is anything but new to the automotive industry or customer service. Sue's true love is to make every customer feel like they are her only customer; they are what keeps the Service Department going. When not working, Sue enjoys time with her girls, attempting to pass on her automotive knowledge and passion.

He is very much an outdoors man and likes to hunt and fish in his spare time. Al also spends much of his summers up at his camp with his family.

Dave has been part of the Hampton Ford Hyundai family since 2012, but has been working in the industry since he was 16 years old. Dave moved back from New Mexico to be closer to family. In his free time, Dave loves to snowmobile and spend lots of time at his camp in summer and winter. Dave is our onsite customer repairman; he is very good with a welder.

Part nerd, part artist, and a lot of weird, Taryn Myers may appear to be a conflict in amongst herself. But turns out she is just one crazy, creative thinker who doesn't let herself get boxed into traditional thinking. She takes that creative approach to life and work. Taryn is fluent in the languages of words, numbers, and pictures. They say a picture says a thousand words, but did you know that certain numbers do as well? Data can tell one heck of a story if you know how to read it, visualize it, interpret it, and apply it. Taryn takes this unique perspective on every encounter in life. In her work, she finds solutions by looking at every angle and exploring the viewpoint of everyone involved (brand, influencer, audience, etc). And her art illustrates it, challenge the viewer to look at things differently. Chief Navigator by day as the President/Proprietor of Ephemeris, a research-driven marketing strategy agency, Taryn loves to help people and businesses grow by hoping aboard their moving ship and steering them through the rough (and usually poorly-charted) marketing seas. She also loves to talk. So if you want her to talk about branding or media placement or social media or SEO or anything marketing (or really anything), let's make that happen. By night, Taryn will be found painting, running, or molding young artist minds. She enjoys her time helping to run the York Art Association as co-director of youth programming, and you can frequently get a glimpse of her artwork at the gallery.
