Dana is carrying on the family business that his grandfather started in 1958. As General Manager, Dana has his fingers in a lot of different pies but he never loses sight of the main focus of Patterson Toyota - treat the client as a member of the family and always put them first. Perhaps that comes from his experience working with troubled teens as a family therapist, or perhaps that is also a family tradition. Working as a counselor, Dana has moved around and lived in the US for many years but decided to come back to his home in 2005. Our brave and fearless leader always has an open door and an ear to bend for any reason, but enjoys working with trustworthy people that he knows can handle any situation that arises.
