Juan Garcia
West Coast Sales Manager — Joined PFS in 2003
Responsibilities: “I work with dealers and clients on a daily basis to provide a financing option that caters to exotic car ownership. My experience with Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor Cars in Crewe, England gives me a unique perspective that serves as a valuable resource. I consider many of my dealers and customers to be much more than business associates. I’m honored to call them my friends.”
Working at Premier: “We’re in the customer service business, and very simply, Premier is the best in the industry. We’ve achieved this recognition because everyone in the company shares the same goal, in terms of our commitment to doing whatever is necessary to exceed the expectations of the people we serve.”
Personal Life: “I live in the Los Angeles area. For leisure, when I’m not spending time with my family or friends, I play golf and also enjoy deep sea fishing. Cars are my passion, and the West Coast has a car culture, so I attend a lot of rallies, auctions, and other events throughout the year.”
Dream Car: “My sentimental choice of car would have to be an orange, chrome bumper MGB. That’s the car in which I learned to drive a stick, and I have fond memories of driving that car all over Hawaii when I was serving in the Marine Corps.”
Juan’s Insights for Clients: “It’s important to demand complete transparency, and to be sure that you’re comparing apples to apples when financing a car. If you own a business, leasing can provide significant tax-related advantages.”

Chris Warren
Southeast Sales Manager — Joined PFS in 2013
Responsibilities: “I spend a lot of time building relationships with dealers to ensure they understand how we can assist them and their clients with our industry-leading Simple Lease program. Having worked in dealerships for over 25 years, I know first-hand the challenges they face, and also what they need, in order to put customers in their dream cars.”
Working at Premier: “I joined this company after working as a dealer, so I was unsure of what working remotely would be like. What I quickly discovered was that Premier is a very close-knit organization where people care about each other, and you feel like a member of the family, despite the distance between my Southeast Region and Connecticut.”
Personal Life: “I live in Tampa with my wife and twin daughters. Although we live in Florida, we’re not beach people; however, we do enjoy the theme parks and I’m an avid golfer and a big fan of soccer and hockey. I also share my clients’ passion for automobiles and speed and attend numerous motorcar events - both for business and pleasure.”
Dream Car: “My dream car would be a Ferrari 288 GTO, an automotive masterpiece that was built from 1984 – 1987 and is considered by many to be the world’s first “supercar.”
Chris’ Insights for Clients: “Many people, including some dealers, still don’t know that we lease previously owned vehicles, when in fact, a significant portion of the Premier portfolio consists of pre-owned cars. We can lease any exotic, vintage, or luxury car that’s more than $75,000, regardless of age.”

Michelle Yancey
Southwest Sales Manager — Joined PFS in 2013
Responsibilities: “I work hard to ensure that every transaction is a win-win by offering a flexible leasing option that best serves my client’s financial objectives. I always share the excitement when a client takes delivery of their car and drives away happy.”
Working at Premier: “I’ve worked at other automotive companies, but have never worked for an organization that places such a high degree of importance on customer service. Premier’s internal support team enables me to deliver an unmatched level of service to all of my customers.”
Personal Life: “I was born and raised in Dallas. My husband and I love to travel, enjoy boating, and are dog lovers who have adopted three rescues. We are also both musicians, and frequently perform with the “BYO Musicians Network,” which is a 501c3 organization that helps local charities to raise money. My husband plays bass and guitar, and I provide vocals for the band."
Dream Car: “I’ve always loved muscle cars - vintage Ford Mustangs in particular. I've owned and driven some of my dream cars, notably a 1967 Mustang Fastback GT, like the one Steve McQueen drove in the movie Bullitt. However, my current love is more reminiscent of James Dean's famous race car.”
Michelle’s Insights for Clients: “If you have a car that you really love, you should consider keeping it, and leasing another car, rather than trading it in. I’ve had many customers who have regretted trading in cars that they love. One customer even bought the same car three times.”

Keith Neelans
Northeast Sales Manager — Joined PFS in 2014
Responsibilities: “I spend a lot of time visiting dealerships and talking to current and previous customers, mostly about cars. Because I love interacting with people who share my passion, it never really feels like work to me.”
Working at Premier: “This is truly a unique environment that feels more like a family than a company. Premier Sales Managers are in the field, scattered across the country with limited time working in the home office. However, a lot of personal interaction takes place, which keeps us connected with the support team at all times. We have confidence that our clients will always be taken care of properly.”
Personal Life: “I live in Connecticut with my wife and son and we spend all of our free time outdoors. In the winter, we are avid skiers and sometimes ski in the back-country and off-piste trails. During warmer times, we wake surf off the back of our boat. I also love playing golf when time permits.”
Dream Car: “Having sold Porsche’s for 10 years, I am biased towards that marque and think they have the most iconic, classic look of any car. If I had to pick one, it would be a 1963 Porsche 356 Speedster.”
Keith’s Insights for Clients: “There’s a lot of misinformation about leasing. Many people confuse what Premier does with ‘traditional’ closed-end lease arrangements, and as a result, they miss out on a financing option that can put them into their dream car.”

Ross Dressel
Midwest Sales Manager — Joined PFS in 2019
Responsibilities: “Everyday, I apply my passion for cars, customer focus, and attention to detail, to ensure the success of every transaction for clients and dealers. Prior to starting with Premier, I served clients at Michigan’s largest exotic car dealer, representing eight marques, for 15 years and have first-hand experience in nearly every aspect of the automotive business."
Working at Premier: “After working in a dealer atmosphere for 25 years, I was apprehensive to make a move away from what had been my career path for so long. Having done business with Premier, I knew they were a unique company that valued teamwork above all else, so I jumped on board. My colleagues work to ensure the best service for all our clients. I am proud to be on the front line, meeting dealers as well as clients, and to be an advocate for both.”
Personal Life: “In addition to my passion for cars, I enjoy traveling to visit friends and family, seeing historical sites, and experiencing new cultures. I’ve traveled to several countries around the world, and to nearly every state in the union.”
Dream Car: “As a “car nut,” it’s very hard to pick just one vehicle, but in the mid 1980s, three cars arrived on the scene that solidified my love of exotic and specialty makes: the Porsche 959, the Ferrari 288 GTO, and the Ruf CTR Yellowbird.
Ross’s Insights for Clients: “We are much more than just a leasing company: we’re a family as well as personal bankers for your automotive dreams. We do what we do out of genuine passion and interest in crafting a transaction that makes sense for our clients. We have a wide network of existing dealer partnerships, and our repeat clientele is significant.”

Responsibilities: “I was welcomed onboard at Premier for the purpose of fostering new client relationships and to meet the level of industry-leading concierge service set by our Regional Sales Managers, which our clients have come to expect. I don’t give up easily and genuinely love helping people, so I’ll work with our team of experts to explore every option that leads to you driving home the car of your dreams.”
Working at Premier: “When applying to Premier, I understood that they don’t simply hire to fill a position but rather take a people-focused approach to ensure an employee’s character and integrity match that of the company. The impact of this approach was made abundantly clear from my first day, meeting all my new genuine and kindhearted co-workers. The level of care shown is evident in the results of everything we do, and I am proud to be a member of the team.”
Personal Life: “My faith is the most important thing to me and I am very involved at my local church, which I attend several times a week. Born and raised in Connecticut, there is good food anywhere you look. I love visiting new restaurants with family and friends, or going salsa dancing on the weekends. My passion for cars is what led me to this industry, so I jump at any chance I get to attend events!”
Dream Car: “Being heavily influenced by my time working for Porsche, my dream car is a 1989 Porsche 964 Carrera 4. However, I would love to have one Reimagined by Singer.”

Our team works hard to accomplish your goals, keep you well-informed every step of the way, and earn your trust in the process. It’s no wonder why over 70% of our clients repeatedly do business with us.”

Dream Car: “I’ve been a dedicated Porsche fan for many years. In the past, I’ve owned a Boxster S and a 1962 356B and currently have a 911 Carrera. My dream car is a 2016 Porsche 911R.”
Doug’s Insights for Clients: “Explore all of your financing options. Make sure that you’re working with people who are focused on your long-term satisfaction over the course of the relationship and not simply looking to get the transaction completed.”

Vice President of Credit — Joined PFS in 2021
Responsibilities: "Credit is in my title, but I’m also responsible for underwriting and risk management at Premier."
Working at Premier: "I come from a background of working for large banking institutions, including Susquehanna Bank, BB&T and Truist Financial. Being part of a much smaller organization like Premier, and working with your teammates, feels like family instead of being part of a huge corporation."

Premier is much more intimate and I enjoy being part of a cohesive group that works so well together. We are all equals here, and our ideas are always heard.”
Dream Car: “I’d love to own a 1938 Lincoln LeBaron Roadster convertible in blue. The car is beautiful, and it would be really cool to go back in time to the 1930s and drive this car.”

Aimee’s Insight for Clients: “Premier is one of the most customer-focused companies I have encountered, both personally and professionally. We strive to go above and beyond client expectations.
