Gene Johnson, has own Rainier Dodge in Olympia since 1987.
A lot
of people in the Olympia Community who drive to Rainier Dodge in
Olympia's auto mall, don't know Gene's story. They are surprised to know
how a restaurant acquaintance, a salesman, a shuttle driver and a
growing cadre of college students shaped Gene Johnson's. And got him to
ponder and ask questions: IE:
Why go out of your way to Care?
Why be involved with people in your town who aren't interested in purchasing a car from you?
The answer for Gene was from people who took an interest in him.
His
father gave him guidance when Gene didn't know what to do in his life!
His Father said make a list of all the things you have fun and enjoy
doing, next to each one write down all the things you could do to get
paid for doing this! His list had two words in common: " Auto Mechanic."
But it was Gene's wife Cynthia, the encouragement from her was the
tipping point for Gene to pursue a Auto Dealership career. She would
asked him, " If you don't do it, you'll always wonder, 'Could I have?
Should I have?"
February 1987 Gene took over Rainier Dodge, then located in downtown Olympia.
Gene
is very involved in the Olympia Community, he has rang the Bell at
Christmas time for the Salvation army, he is apart of the Rotary because
he believes and lives by their Motto " Service above Self" and Gene
also funds a Scholarship at South Puget Sound Community College for
single mothers who have the hopes and dreams of college but didn't think
it could be a reality, Well Rainier Dodge and Gene have helped make
those dreams come true!
Gene says. " I just want to be an example to
others, to live by the Golden Rule and treat people the way I would like
to be treated"
