We’ve hired local auto sales veteran Allen Hicks as an Executive Manager at Brandon Honda. In his new role, Allen works closely with Sam Raabe and me and our team of sales and finance associates to finalize automobile lease and purchase agreements that best meet customers’ needs.

Originally from Hueytown, AL outside Birmingham, Hicks had held the same position at my Sun Toyota store in Holiday, FL. Prior to auto sales, he was a police officer with the United States Air Force for ten years, stationed in the Midwest. He is an avid student of the qualities of leadership and uses his daily commute to expand his management knowledge and skills, as well as prepare for the day ahead.

“Allen is a seasoned dealership professional who has 16 years of auto experience throughout the Tampa Bay metropolitan area,” said General Manager Sam Raabe. “He’s a tremendous addition to our team, bringing exceptional customer service and leadership skills, as well as a knowledge of the automotive industry that is difficult to find.”
