I've lived in Buncombe County off and on for 40 years. But I have always seen to make it back to the mountains. I'm currently living in Leicester, NC. I have been with Prestige for 7 years. Prestige is my 3rd sales job I have had. It will hopefully be my last.
We have the best products, great co-workers, and great customers. It's easy to say that.
My goal is to provide an easy buying experience and the highest customer satisfaction until everyone in the Asheville area drives a Subaru.

- An Asheville native, I enjoy all that being in Asheville has to offer from the food and music scene to hiking and mountain biking. I spend my "off time" with my daughter and our fur babies, Zeus (a Lhasa Apso) and Tubby (an orange tabby).Being a long time Subaru owner myself, I was excited to join the Prestige Subaru team and help others find the perfect vehicle that fits all their needs and lifestyle! With over 20 years experience in the automotive business, I strive to put my experience to work for you. Whether this is your first time buying a vehicle or your hundredth, I believe that every customer deserves a level of customer service and professionalism that will make their next purchase a pleasant one."

- Hey everyone, my name is Trenton Davis. I was born and raised here in Asheville and I am glad to call it home. I just recently moved back to the area from Wyoming, with that being said I have moved away a few times but I keep finding myself back here in the mountains that I love. I moved back here with my girlfriend Maria and our two dogs (Raider/Kaia) that we love even though they drive us crazy sometimes. I got into the car business because I like meeting new people and I like trying to make their buying experience as quick and as painless as possible.A few things I like to do include baseball, basketball, snowboarding, and fishing. I grew up doing all of the above and I even played baseball in college which was a great experience. If you are new to the Asheville area you will quickly realize Subaru culture is alive and well, almost every other car you see will be a Subaru and that is not just a coincidence. The people in Asheville know the value of a Subaru and know their capabilities.With that being said if you are in the market for a vehicle come on down to Prestige Subaru and ask for me, I will make sure that you leave here happy and in the right vehicle for you.

- A native of Long Island, I moved to Asheville in 2005 along with my wife Melissa. A year later we found our home in Hendersonville as well as the first new addition to our family. An abandoned Shitzu mix we found on the side of the road during a snow storm shortly before Christmas. We named him Oliver. A few years later, a trio of feral kittens found our home. It took a long time to gain their trust, but now they are the most loving house cats.I have always worked in customer care. I began working the counter at my father's deli when I was 12. As a young adult, I was fortunate to join Home Depot as they were growing. I never expected to still be with them over twenty years later. Over those years, my role changed, and customer contact was no longer my primary focus. I really missed the one on one personal care, which prompted my career change. I was most recently representing Ford, but leapt at the opportunity to join the Prestige Subaru family.It is truly an honor to be a representative for a company known not just for the excellence of its product, but also for its commitment to its customers.

- Although new to the Prestige workforce in April 2013, I have been a part of the Prestige family since 2006 when we bought our first Subaru. We were treated so well my wife & I came back in 2011 to buy another Subaru. Since then we have had 5 Subaru Outbacks and love them.My wife (Danielle) & I, 29 years together and 27 years married, moved to the Western North Carolina area in 2006 from Baltimore, Maryland. I have a background of over 30 years of Telecommunications & Networking experience.I have a huge soft spot for all kinds of animals. We had two mixed breed Shepherd twins (Fred & Ethel), both passed due to cancer. We have a Great Pyraneese & Black lab mix pup (Lucy), a Basenji mix (Joe) and 3 cats (We had 4 cats but our oldest cat was 21 years that passed). All of our pets were rescues either from being stranded on the side of the road, being found in a dumpster or given a good home from various shelters & situations. I enjoy heavy machinery and cooking/grilling. I used to run a hydraulic band mill and create furniture starting from the standing tree after the material was air dried. I enjoy scenery & photography, most anything outdoors including taking scenic/off-road drives in my Jeep with the doors & top removed.I enjoy meeting people and I treat others the way I want to be treated. I will do everything I can to help out. Prestige is very pet friendly, so stop by with your companion I would love to meet him/her.

- To whoever may find their way to this bio, you are reading about a very passionate car enthusiast who's main aspiration is to rise in this industry for the love of both automotive culture and the well being of their community! My name is Josiah, I am now 20 years old but have been working in or around dealerships since I was 17! My journey into this field began at a very young age with a passion for cars.... Sports cars, usually. I was obsessed with the idea of exotic cars such as the McLaren F-1 and the Lamborghini Murcialago but as time went on and as I matured over the years, that translated into an appreciation for all cars, regardless of top speed. At first, the idea was to apply my automotive prowess in the engineering field but it only took a couple semesters of college before I realized that I wanted to go bigger than that - I wanted my own dealership. So what did I do and what was my plan to achieve this? I dropped out and started working for a used car dealership and have since moved to Prestige as a salesperson working diligently to provide A-1 customer service to new and experienced car buyers alike. Look no further if you're looking to work with someone who's in this thing for the greater good of the customer and who's in it for the long haul.

- During my 19 years of living here in Western North Carolina, I have became fond of what the Asheville area has to offer. From the live music festivals held in the fall, to the wonderous dog parks that I enjoy taking my sweet and loving animals to where they can run along with chasing the wildlife that comes into their vision.Out of all the four-seasons that this state has to offer, I have found that the Autumn time has to be my favorite. Venturous hikes with my four-legged friends on the Blue Ridge Parkway has shown me what a beautiful area I have chosen to live in.Growing up, my father always told me, "You're only as good as the people you choose to surround yourself with." That is why I have chosen to work here, at Prestige Subaru among co-workers I believe want to bring the best car buying experience you can have to each and every customer. You, are Subaru family, are what makes working here the best work experience that any staff member has to enjoy. We hope to see you soon!

- My name is Jeffrey but I also go by Jeff. I grew up in the wonderful state of Oklahoma where it was more common to see a horse standing next to you at a red light that a Subaru Outback. In 2012 I moved with my family to Asheville and left the tornados and dust storms in my rear view mirror. Thankfully Asheville has no lack of interesting people and culture, especially when visiting the drum circle on Friday night.I enjoy the outdoors, especially camping and fishing, after all, I did grow up watching Man vs Wild on the discovery channel so that basically means I'm a survivalist professional. I do most of my outdoor adventures at Lake Fontana and the weekends I'm not out there, I'm walking around downtown Asheville, sampling the food and drinks.The Subaru life is new to me, but has already been a blast being involved with. I can't wait to answer any questions you may have or go on a few test drives.

- My name is Jason Wicks. I thought I would tell you a little bit about me, why I love what I do, and some of the things that make me passionate about life and Western NC. Before joining Prestige in October 2013, I worked in the newspaper industry for 15 years. My love of Subaru started in 1990 with my first car, a 1982 Subaru GL. Since that time, I have owned a total of 8 Subarus, including a 1998 Outback with over 248,000 miles. Four of these vehicles were purchased from Prestige. As you can see, the Subaru brand has been much more than a car for me, it's been a friend and part of the family.I am married to Lisa and we have 2 girls, Greta and Afton our sweet dog Olive (Yellow Lab) and Tucker the orange tabby cat. After growing up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I moved to Western NC in 1992 and fell in love with all the mountains can offer and have been here ever since. I enjoy mountain biking, trail running, camping with my family and I recently finished my 6th half-marathon.Thank you for learning a bit about me and I look forward to meeting you!

- Greetings and a big "Hello!" the 'Paris of the South'!I've lived here in Asheville since 2007. My love of theatre brought me here, but my love of the mountains kept me here. I so enjoy a quiet hike on a beautiful day or a quiet walk by the river with my dog, Carson. I am also a performer by trade. Since I was a little girl, the stage called to me and I found I had a knack for entertaining people.In fact, before arriving here at Prestige Subaru, I was a performing tour guide on the LaZoom Comedy Tours. It's the big purple bus in downtown Asheville. It's always full of folk laughing and having a great time and I'm proud to say that I was a part of that for 5 years.With my performance and touring background, I enjoy meeting and talking with new people and I can't wait to meet you!Feel free to bring along any fur babies you may have. I would love to meet them and animals are always welcome!
