Steve Barnette

Mid-South Regional Sales Manager

Steve is a native of the Old Dominion and completed his BS in Education from George Mason University after serving four years in the US Army. Steve first took a temporary job selling Chryslers and Plymouths for Sheehy CP in Fairfax, Virginia. That summer job turned into a continuing 30-year career. After working for 5 years for the Koons organization and 22 years for Ted Britt Automotive, he moved to Pinehurst, North Carolina in 2007 and took a position with Bill Smith Ford L/M and Mazda. Steve appreciates the experience received and relationships developed while serving in positions of sales management with these fine companies.

Now it is his focus to act as the Mid-South Regional Sales Manager for Car People Marketing and provide sound solutions that promote owner loyalty and complete customer satisfaction. The dynamics of this business are constantly changing but the message of "Doing the Right Thing" rings clear. A partnership with Car People Marketing will insure that dealerships will have all of the support to mirror every concern with the proper solution.

Steve maintains his passion for the Washington Redskins; as evidenced by the burgundy and gold golf bag never far from his sight. Every September he heads for a week at Rainbow Trout Ranch in Colorado.
