Nickname coined by Carousel Nissan: Paul Trovas
Favorite Nissan Car: Xterra
Favorite Nissan Feature: I key
Years in the Business: My father has been in the car business my whole life. So I grew up in the dealership. I can remember cleaning cars in high school, delivering parts through college and started selling cars when I was out of school. I have been selling cars for 10 years!
Hometown: Waterloo/Cedar Falls
Favorite College Sports Teams: I attended the University of Iowa and am a Huge Hawkeye fan. I try to attend as many Hawkeye sporting events as possible.
Favorite Professional Sports Teams: I am a HUGE New York Jets fan. I travel as often as I can to watch them play. I was even lucky enough to meet Joe Namath in the airport following the AFC championship game in 2009. It has been a long time since we have reached the Super Bowl and I am keeping my fingers crossed we will make it there soon!
Hobbies: I am a competitive arm wrestler, sing in a barbershop quartet, an avid figure skater, compose music, semi professional paint baller, amateur mini golf player, 2 time free throw shooting champion, massage therapy, boxer, life coach, am a judge in the beer of the year contest, hair club for men member since 2007, spending time with my 11 cats, women's mud wrestling coach, collect stamps and sea shells, have the 6th largest sand dollar ever recorded.
Favorite Band/Singer or type of Music: I love listening to the Rolling Stones. My parents were big fans and have taken us to their concerts over the years.
What do you love about your job? I love that my job is different every day. No two days are the same as no two vehicles are the same. I enjoy the fact that I get to interact everyday with customers, and that our customers come from all walks of life. Nothing makes me more happy than a customer writing a letter or email to tell me what a great experience they had dealing with our store. Or someone sending a friend or relative because of the service they know we can provide. I have worked for the company for 10 years. I have been lucky enough to work at 3 of our facilities. I really like and trust the product I represent, it is great looking, reliable and affordable. We build a vehicle to fit anyone's budget or needs. Being in the car business, we are on the cutting edge as far as technology is concerned and it is great to see how the vehicles have changed over the years. The business is ever changing yet always remains the same!
