History of the Dealership
Don Maddux and Dee Bradley purchased Olathe Ford in 1973. They took an RV on trade and when they sold the RV, they realized there was money to be made in the RV business. So they decided to purchase more. They quickly grew to a residential home that was on the corner of their property. This property is now occupied by Payless Shoes. Again, the business grew and they purchased 34 acres and a building in Gardner, KS.
Sam Mansker and Marc McEver purchased the Olathe Ford Dealerships in 2003 from Don and Dee.
Sam Mansker has been with the company since 1972 and has always been the General Manager of Olathe Ford/Lincoln. He still maintains that roll even after the purchase of the dealerships.
Marc McEver has been with the company for 34 years and was originally hired for the Detail Department before he decided to give selling a try. He later created the Commercial and Fleet Departments. His commercial/fleet accounts are over 25,000 sales per year, which makes Olathe Ford the largest Fleet/Commercial dealer in the country.
Daryn Anderson has been with the company since 1993. He started in truck sales, eventually moving to Lease Manager and later, Used Car Manager. He moved to the RV Center in 2010 as the Finance Manager, later being promoted to General Manger in 2012.
Since 2006, Dan Hill has been an integral part of our team at Olathe Ford. After starting in the Sales Department, he transferred to the RV Center in 2012 to become the Business Manager. Dan's hard work and dedication have contributed greatly to our impressive numbers in Finance, Warranty, and Accessory sales. His efforts have resulted in an expanded Accessories Department, which now includes popular items such as Window Tint and Backup Cameras.
Ashley Butler began her career at Olathe Ford in the Billing Department in 2010. The following year, she moved to the RV Center and took on the role of receptionist. Due to her expertise in computers, Ashley was promoted to Office Manager in 2012. Her passion for RV rentals led her to create the Rental Department in 2014, starting with a fleet of 12 rental units. The department was an instant success, with 152 units rented in the first year. Today, the fleet has expanded to over 30 rentals, including Class A, Class B, Class C and Travel Trailers. The department's peak year saw 533 rentals. Ashley currently holds the position of Rental Manager, overseeing the department's ongoing success.
