Hi, my name is Joe Ruden. I was born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin, but have lived in Fort Wayne, Indiana for 3 years. I studied at the University of Memphis. I joined the O’Daniel Group because I wanted to work for a dealer again and have worked here for about 1 year. I am married to my wonderful wife, Barbara and we have 9 kids. I love to do woodworking and wood-turning in my free time. I pride myself in being handy, I will try to fix/repair anything that can be repaired.

I sent quotation requests to eight of the highest rated Ford dealerships in Indiana. Of all the Ford dealerships, Jennifer Hull and the O'Daniel Team were by far the most responsive and fair in terms of me Ford dealerships in Indiana. Of all the Ford dealerships, Jennifer Hull and the O'Daniel Team were by far the most responsive and fair in terms of meeting my needs. All transactions were transparent and the purchasing process was seamless. I have purchased many vehicles over the years, but this dealership made purchasing a vehicle a joy. Also, I have spent many years researching the purchase of a super duty diesel truck... I settled on Ford and I'm glad I did. The engineering in my truck is superb from drivetrain to materials of construction, technology and workmanship. Very solid, smooth, comfortable and fuel efficient… an absolute joy to own and drive! Many thanks to Jennifer Hull, the O'Daniel Ford Team, and the Ford Motor Company for going well beyond my expectations. More

Was very happy My husband has purchased 2 new trucks. And they have serviced his trucks, my Ford van, then Flex for the over 10 yrs that we owned it. Was very happy to find this 2019 Flex at your dealership. I did not deal with Mike Lothamer, but seen and said Hi too. I purchased touch up paint from Jo, very nice man! Mike P was super to work with! I never thought I would own a white auto. Once I seen this one , “I said I will drive this white Flexie all over!” Mike & Nick both was great to work with!
