Jonathan sells Freightliner Business Class trucks covering the Westville, Truro, Cape Breton and surrounding areas.
Jonathan started with Nova at 16 as Shop Hand at the Dartmouth location but quickly moving up to a Parts Specialist. After gaining valuable work experience and training, Jonathan decided this was an industry he wanted to build a career in so he went back to school for his Heavy-Duty Equipment/ Truck & Transport Repair certification. He excelled as a Technician and was the Shop Foreman in Westville before moving on to Sales. He is also the Continuous Improvement Coordinator (CIC) for Westville, which ensures that the shop is adhering to Elite Support standards and continuously improving standards and processes.
As a certified Red Seal Technician, Jonathan knows his trucks and will work with customers to spec the right truck to get the job done right.
When not at the dealership, Jonathan enjoys traveling, boating, bass fishing, and also enjoys working on old vehicles.
