About Stan Vardell

I have 40 years of experience in the agricultural machinery business, serving in both wholesale and retail areas of the industry. My passion is assisting the professional development of others and the pride of accomplishment as they progress in their careers. I have achieved many sales and profitability goals primarily working in team environments with an emphasis on results achieved while enjoying the work environment and companionship of the people surrounding me. I enjoy the challenge of improving our customers experiences while continuously improving the profitability of the parts operations at our Greenway locations, along with strategic planning, process improvement and process execution within our organization and John Deere.I accept change as a positive outcome of my team\'s success of achieving goals and enjoying work. As we succeed, the playing field shifts and we must continue to earn our customers\' business by providing increasingly positive levels of relational and transactional experiences. Thank You, God, for the opportunity and gift of serving other people!
