Miller Dealerships, announced the reorganization of Miller Automotive Operations which included the promotion of several employees. “This restructure allows us to better support our individual markets by giving each a dedicated team of professionals to assist with daily operations,” said Fitzpatrick. “I firmly believe this will allow for growth by giving our dealerships and collision centers the tools they need to increase business.” Four regional teams have been created to include an accounting specialist, an F&I specialist, and a variable operations specialist. Each team will be overseen by a senior vice president of automotive operations: Pat Kroneberger, Arizona; Ray Reilly, Colorado and New Mexico; Greg Johnson, Utah and Oregon; and John O’Bryan, Utah, Idaho and Washington. In addition, Brian Leary has been named vice president of F&I and field support and will oversee four regional F&I specialists; Frank Wiles (AZ); J.C. Escobar (CO/NM); Wally Turner (UT/OR) and Mike Jensen (UT/ID/ WA), as well as four regional variable operations specialists; Russ Tilton (AZ); Brian Sweeney (CO/NM); Thomas Fortune (UT/OR) and Ken Pifer (UT/ID/WA). Dan Johnson, currently the director of fixed operations, will oversee the four regional fixed operations specialists, Alex Lorenzo (AZ); Mike McQuarry (CO/NM); Pat Nicholes (UT/OR) and Liza Christensen (UT/ID/WA).
