Adventure Subaru Employee since 2005
As the head of the Internet Department at Adventure Subaru, Justin makes sure your online experience is rich with information. He knows the process of buying a car is about the customer - and the internet is one of the first tools they'll use. He's constantly improving our website to make it user friendly for our customers.
Justin is a member of Subaru's Peak Performer Club - a designation reserved for only the best Subaru salesmen in the country, and not easily achieved. If you have a difficult Subaru question, Justin is a great person to ask. His explanations are thorough and his knowledge evident. There's very little he doesn't know about a Subaru - but nothing he can't find out for you.
When he's not working, you'll find Justin backpacking the Ozarks, riding his motorcycle down a seldom used trail, or attending a good music performance. Before he was in the car business, Justin had a local radio show called "Recorded Live" on KXUA in Fayetteville.
If you need Justin, he's as close as your keyboard!

Our favorite funny guy! Subaru knowledge delivered with a smile.Mike is a 25 year Fayetteville resident and knows Northwest Arkansas like the back of his Subaru.

The face of Adventure Subaru!
You've probably heard this voice coming across the radio while you're driving down the road - here's the face that goes with it! As a veteran of the car business, Dennis has worked in different family owned dealerships since he was 14. As the leader of the Adventure Subaru family, Dennis works for customer satisfaction every day.
The service department is in his roots, but the enjoyment of the outdoors is in his blood. As a younger man, Dennis traveled throughout the western half of the United States following his passion for outdoor recreation. He's ridden a Bicycle from Portland to San Francisco, explored the Grand Tetons, summited Mt. Ranier, and climbed the face of El Capitain in the Yosimite Valley. These days, he finds excitement in climbing a rock wall in the Ozarks or fishing a secluded mountain river.
The sparkle in his eye and spring in his step can both be attributed to his daughter Lily. She's his biggest fan.
