Abilene is my hometown, and after graduating from college in 2009, I am proud to be able to again call Abilene home. I began my career as a Sales and Leasing Consultant at Holm Automotive, and have had the opportunity to reconnect with many in the community whom I had known and respected growing up. I currently serve as Sales Manager. My other passions include spending time with my daughter, who is 2 1/2, and coaching wrestling. Currently, I am active in coaching the youth wrestling program in Abilene. Helping area wrestlers reach their potential as athletes and individuals is very rewarding. Thank you to those who have allowed me the opportunity to assist in your vehicle purchase. Let me take this chance to invite you to visit Holm Automotive. We are in the business of exceeding expectations!

Lou, what a story — thank you so much for sharing it! Going from a cracked rim and a flat tire on a major road trip to making it to the Pikes Peak Hill Climb in plenty of time is a testament to the efforts of Jamie, Kit, Steve, Ross, and the entire team who rallied to get you back on the road. We can only imagine the stress of being stranded mid-trip in a Z07, and we are so glad our team rose to the occasion and turned a difficult situation into a memorable one for the right reasons. Safe travels back to xx. Louis, and we hope Pikes Peak was everything you were hoping for. You are always welcome at Holm Automotive! Sincerely, the Holm Automotive Team of Abilene
