    I love my life!  I was born and raised right here in our wonderful state of Michigan.  My father owned convenience stores and a pizzeria most of my life, so I've been working with the public since I was a youngster.  I transitioned from convenience stores to auto dealerships in the early 90's and have never looked back.  Helping people find and take home the vehicle of their dreams is truly one of the most exciting jobs a person could ever have!

    I divide my free time between my wonderful family, my amazing soul mate (she is my best friend!), and my one true addiction, golf.  I have one niece and two nephews, and they're all under five years old.  They are so much fun at this age, and definitely keep me on my toes.  One loves princesses, one loves dinosaurs and one loves Mickey Mouse? Too much fun!  The golf season in Michigan is too short in my opinion, so I use that as an excuse to play every chance I get.  I pretend that I'm a good golfer, but I'm sure my friends would tell you differently ; )

    Chris Boan

    Hello, my name is Chris Boan. I've been with the Szott Automotive group for seven years. Prior to this I was with Alan Ford in Bloomfield Hills, MI for six years. At Alan Ford, through repeat and referral business, I was the number one salesperson. My goal in this industry is to make people happy and work to give them our best deals! Through hard work and customer satisfaction I have become the Szott Ford New Car Sales Manager.

    In my time away from work I enjoy spending time with my two wonderful children Julia (11) and Alec (7). Julia likes music; she is always dancing and singing around the house. Alec is a huge sports fan, just like his dad! I'm married to a wonderful woman, Christine, and together as a family we enjoy boating and skiing.

    With all that said, I'm here to guarantee approvals and provide you with a great buying experience!

    Hello, my name is Stacie Bright.  I've been working for the Szott Family for nine years now, and I love every minute of it!  Believe it or not, before I got in the car business I owned my own donut shop, making the donuts at 4:00am wasn't as fun as helping someone buy the car or truck of their dreams!

    I have three beautiful children, two girls and a boy.  One of my greatest joys in life is watching my kids grow up.  Right now my youngest daughter is in competitive gymnastics, man she's good!  Another passion of mine is eating (LOL), I love grilling for my family on a hot summer days.  But most importantly I enjoy being a superior role model to my children and fulfilling all of my customer's automotive needs.

    Hello everyone!  I'm your hometown girl; I was raised here in Historic Holly, Michigan.  I grew up in a dance studio, when my friends were off to the beach; I was off to the studio, loving every minute of it!  Dance opened so many doors for me, from working with the Drama department at Holly High School to doing charity work at Crossroads for Youth, and being able to travel/compete from here to the Gulf of Mexico.

    Dance was my life until I was given the opportunity to change professions.  The change from dance to sales was a shock at first, but it's been the best change of my life!  I've now been with the Szott Family for almost 9 years.  Every day is something new and exciting here at Szott Ford and you know what they say? "Variety is the spice of life!"

    I'm part of the Clarkston Chamber of Commerce (great chamber if you're thinking of joining one); love meeting new people, music, traveling and all that Michigan has to offer.  I'm so very blessed with the greatest family and friends anyone could ask for, and I'm always looking forward to what the future has in store for me.

    Hello, my name is Hernando Hulleza. I was born in the Philippines, but I spent my formative years in Clarkston, Michigan. So, I am very proud to call myself a Filipino-American. My passions are my three kids (Marina 10, Gino 8, and Marissa 6). One of the best parts of being a parent is watching them grow and develop their own individual personalities and knowing that I was an integral part of molding who they are and what they are to become. I am an avid sports fan, but truth be told, I enjoy anything that gets my competitive juices flowing.

    I have over 14 years of automotive sales experience, all of which has been spent at Szott Ford. What has kept me successful in this business is being able to connect with my customers and my ability to provide excellent customer service not just before but also after the sale. Whether you are a previous customer or want to be part of my automotive family, just remember that I can help "chop" your way to a great deal. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!
