Almir is our Sales Manager and has been working in this capacity for over 9 years with the Hansel Auto Group. A.C.'s excitement, knowledge and extensive experience in the Auto Industry is our gain and every customer's benefit as he clearly knows and shows the best "way" to achieve the goal on our customers behalf and consistently teaches us all how to follow through until completion.
We have another very well accomplished musician here in A.C. as you can follow his Band's excellent track record and devoted fan base on Facebook under, "Rock Ko Fol" as well as the "Ian Franklin Band" @ ianfranklinmusic.com. He also enjoys biking, Bikram Yoga, but favorite thing to do is hanging out with his 11 yr. old son.
I'm originally from El Salvador in Central America. I came to the US when I was eight years old. I'm sincerely interested in helping everyone around me be the best they can be. I've been with Henry Curtis ford for 8 years, 5 as a Sales Rep and the rest as Floor Manager, Finance Manager and now Sales Manager.
Marshall's family moved to Novato CA from the Mojave Desert in 1980 and immediately fell in love with the North Bay community. He enlisted in the US Army shortly after graduating High School in 1985 and spent 4 years with the 3rd Infantry The Old Guard in Washington DC as Presidential Support Duty and Official Ceremonial Unit. After honorably discharging from the Army in 1990 he moved back to his current home in Novato and took the first job he was offered….selling Fords, the rest is just a lot of pretty funny stories!! When he's not on the showroom floor he is most likely somewhere on the Pacific Ocean chasing down a fish or possibly behind a BBQ Pit. Since 2013 Marshall has managed the Ecommerce Department at Henry Curtis Ford and truly enjoys helping the younger "troops" grow within the Hansel organization.

I was born in San Rafael. I lived in Novato till I was
3, then moved to Petaluma and have lived here ever since. I graduated college
in 2015 with an Associate's Degree in Medical Assistant and Phlebotomy. I am
the first in my family to attend and graduate from college. I have a baby
girl who is almost a year old. So far, being a mom is the best thing yet.
I also have a Golden Retriever puppy that is 5 months old whose name is Migos.
Hometown is Bethlehem, Palestine. He lives in Rohnert Park and has been in sales with Ford Motor Co. since 1991.
Ariel was born in Veracruz, Mexico, which is located next to the Gulf of Mexico. Before coming to Henry Curtis, he was working for a garbage company where I worked 80 hours a week. He was able to get his citizenship and that alone opened more opportunities for him and Henry Curtis was one of them.
He is very passionate about soccer (football) and I always have his wife and two kids on his mind. He enjoys a cold beer on a hot summer day after working on his house or my vegetable garden. When Ariel is not working, you can find him playing at the park with his children or taking trips to the ocean to go fishing and crabbing.

I love the outdoors and spend almost every weekend of the summer at the river. I have a cat named Jackson who acts more like a dog than a cat; he will steal food right out of your mouth and loves his belly rubbed! I am a proud auntie of 3 girls and 2 boys and am the oldest of 3 girls. I help run the Children Ministry at my church, and have been a vegetarian for more than half of my life. I got into the car business in 2015 and find it to be more fun than it is work!
Over my career I have been Executive Assistant's for Fortune 500 companies throughout the Bay Area for about 20 years. I became a mother at the age of 32 at which time I was going to Nursing school and taking care of my son by myself. I moved to Sonoma County about 9 years ago. Over the last 9 years I have been working in Retail as Customer Service Manager, Operations Manager and ASM. My passion has always been to find a new career path that I can be successful in and finally 3 months ago I found Henry Curtis Ford. I am a BD Agent in the Internet Sales and I absolutely love it. I have learned a lot of tools to help me succeed in car sales. I also have a wonderful Manager Marshall who has my back always and is there to help in any way. I believe I can be the next knowledgeable individual on our vehicle inventory. It hasn't been an easy adjustment from retail to car sales but I know I can be a success story.

My fondest memory of working for the Hansel Auto Group would be the experience of working with some of the veteran technicians and hearing stories of how things have evolved from the downtown store.
I started with Hansel Ford in October of 2000 as an entry level technician, I worked my way as a team leader and eventually a Journeyman Diesel Technician. I was promoted by my mentor Wayne Shuster to the Hansel Ford Shop Foreman, and performed those duties for a year and a half before I was promoted to Service Manager at Henry Curtis Ford March of 2016. I am enjoying the challenge and love working with my team!

My family and I live in Lakeport California, and I commute to work as I love working for Henry Curtis Ford. My fiancé and I have a blended family which makes up of five children ranging in ages of 23 years old all the way down to 20 month old. I like to stay physically fit and attend the gym daily as well as my fiancé. We do family bike rides, hikes, and walks. My fiancé and I are both in the Auto industry as this is something that is both of our passion. We also like to take road trips - whether it's a day trip to the coast, a long road trip to the East Coast, or somewhere in between. My job here at Henry Curtis Ford is an extended part of my family and I consider those who I work with to be family as well.
