About Shawn Rice

With over 12 years of dedicated experience in the powersports industry, where my core competencies in leadership and business growth thrive. I am deeply committed to fostering a culture of motivation, engagement, and respect, ensuring our team\'s diverse talents align with the dealership\'s mission. My approach centers on upholding integrity, fairness, and dignity, which resonates with our values and propels us toward our shared vision. I have embraced the responsibility of providing direction and coordination across all dealership operations, establishing policies that drive performance, and holding management accountable. My leadership directly contributes to meeting and exceeding financial objectives, growing our customer base, and enhancing the customer experience. Implementing rigorous training programs and optimizing financial strategies, such as significantly increasing finance per motorcycle copy, are testaments to the skills I leverage to achieve sustained success.
