    I started my career in Sales after graduating from college in 1986.  My father Ronald Roberts, who was the Dealer Principal/President, thought it would be short lived and stuck me in a corner of the showroom with no phone and a hand-held calculator.  After many sales, he realized that I was serious about my desire to work in the auto industry, and that I was good - good enough to earn a phone and an office.  I loved being at the dealership! As time and the hard work went on, I was promoted to Sales Manager and then General Manager. In 2012 after the passing of my father, I became the Dealer Principal/President. Every day I strive to carry on my father's legacy of "Making Customer's for Life" and continuing to grow our business.  I am very proud of how many times we have won Ford's most prestigious President's Award for customer satisfaction, totaling over 29 awards.  I truly LOVE what I do; I love who I work with and most of all I LOVE our Riley Ford Family of customers who make it possible.     

    On a personal note I have been married to my high school sweetheart Barton for 32 years.  We have 2 beautiful daughters Jenna and Jessica who I am blessed to work with.  Jenna is the Service Manager and General Manager and Jessica is the Business Manager.  They are both married to wonderful men and they have blessed us with our beautiful grandchildren. Jenna and Matt have 3 children - Madyson, Joel, and Makenzie. Jessica and Bryce have 2 children, Karson and Hayden.     

    "I enjoy spending most of my free time with my family."

    Hi my name is Jane, sometimes known as jungle Jane, crazy Jane or Aunt Jane. I have been here at Riley Ford for the past 37 years beginning when my dad, Ron Roberts, asked me if I wanted to work at the dealership.

    Starting in 1981, I began working all over the dealership; I helped in the Parts department, washed cars in the reconditioning department, and went on dealer swaps.  A few years later, I started learning how to do paperwork in the office.  That included doing DMV paperwork and getting the contracts ready for the customers picking up their vehicles. I love my job and always have. I enjoy getting to see the customers I have known from the time I started, and I enjoy getting to know our new customers as well.

    I have been a part of Riley Ford since 2013. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice, I was working in the office as a title clerk while pursuing my master's degree. When it came time to really move forward with my education, it was difficult for me to imagine leaving the people I have known my entire life; my Riley Ford family. The Riley Ford family, to me, is just as much the people who work here as it is the customers that make us as great as we are. Being a part of this dealership means being a part of the legacy my grandfather began. I strive to continue to provide a place where people can come to purchase one of the biggest investments of their lives, a place built upon trust, integrity, and compassion.  The auto industry has evolved and with that we have grown in tremendous ways, but the way we take care of our customers will remain the same. Come be a part of the excitement, a part of the Riley Ford family!

    Most people don't have the pleasure of saying that they love what they do. I can wholeheartedly say that I love my job. I love the industry, I love the people I work beside, and I love the customers I have met along the way. My role here at the dealership has evolved from filing alongside our comptroller, to salesperson, to Service Manager, and now also General Manager. Along my journey of the things I love the most about my job, the people I have met are at the top of my list. Personally I strive every day to do what we can to help each and every customer.  At the end of the day what sets us aside is how we treat our customers, who are more like our family. 


    On a more personal note, I have been married to my husband Matthew since 2011 and am the proud momma of three children, Madyson, Joel, and Makenzie.  We enjoy spending time together as a family and I love seeing the progression our children are making as their own little people.   Madyson, Joel, and Makenzie have completed my husband and me.  We work hard to set good examples for them as the kind of people we want them to be in life. I want them to see how good life can be, how we can help others along the way, and how hard work and determination will pay off.

    Sales Manager
    518-846-7131 Ext. 119

    After more than 30 years in auto sales, I've had the privilege of working with and learning from many incredible people. None have influenced my life and career more than my uncle, Ron Roberts, and my dad, Gerald Roberts. The lessons they lived every day shaped who I am, both as a person and as a professional.

    When I first asked my dad to teach me the car business, his advice was simple: "Don't judge a book by its cover, treat everyone the same, and never promise anything you don't intend to deliver." Those words may sound straightforward, but in this industry, they're rare.

    The auto industry has evolved more in the past five years than it did in the previous fifty, but the values of integrity, respect, and common sense remain the foundation of our success. I truly enjoy coming to work each day, building relationships with families who have trusted us for generations, and helping people find the right vehicle for their lives. There is no other career that could bring me this kind of reward.

    I invite you to come in and experience for yourself what the Riley Ford family can do for you.

    And when I'm not living the dream at work, you'll most likely find me enjoying a cigar in my basement or clearing my thoughts out in the woods.

    I began my career in sales and finance 14 years ago, after earning my bachelor's degree from SUNY Plattsburgh. My passion for sales truly flourished when I joined the Riley Ford team over 10 years ago, as Sales Manager, where I have focused on creating exceptional customer experiences and building lasting relationships. Guided by Riley Ford's motto, "Making Customers for Life," I take pride in treating every customer with respect, dignity, and understanding while helping them find the vehicle that best fits their needs.

     

    Beyond the dealership, I value time with my wife, Danielle, and our two sons. As a lifelong hockey enthusiast, I remain active in the sport both personally and through coaching my boys as they begin their own hockey journeys.

    I have spent most of my life around Riley Ford, from visiting with many of my family members who have worked here, and all of the other great staff that I have befriended over the years, to rolling my toy cars around the showroom floor when I was "sick" from school. I have finally joined the sales team part time while pursuing my bachelor's degree at Plattsburgh state. I hope one day to be as well liked, and respected in the industry as my father, and grandfather before me who have left lasting effects on numerous customers and community members.

    I bought my first vehicle from Riley Ford in 2006 while I was working at Pfizer in manufacturing. Shortly after that purchase, Pfizer announced the beginning of their shut down and I began working at Momot Trailer Sales to gain sales experience. In 2009 I left there to join the Riley Ford team. I was born, raised, and have lived in Chazy my entire life. I believe that hard work and dedication is the foundation to all success. Riley Ford has one of the most hard-working teams I have been a part of and I am proud to be a member of that team. Every day we treat our customers the way we would want to be treated - with kindness and respect. I am very fortunate to work in the town I grew up in, currently reside in, and to serve the people of the North Country. I am the proud recipient of Ford's Employee Excellence award on six separate occasions, achieving the highest level of this award on four occasions. These awards are earned through the highest customer satisfaction ratings and if given the opportunity to work with you on your next vehicle purchase, I will make you a customer for life.

    I love helping my community find the right vehicle and making the car-buying experience easy and enjoyable. I started my sales journey at Bailey Ford of Plattsburgh and am excited to keep growing with the team at Riley Ford.

    Outside of work, you'll find me outdoors-hiking, camping, or canoeing whenever I can. I'm also a big animal lover, sharing my home with a Saint Bernard, a Pitbull/Mastiff, and a few other pets.

    If you're in the market for a vehicle or just want to chat about cars, the outdoors, or pets, stop by Riley Ford-I'd love to help!

    Sean Winters

     

    I started in the auto industry a few years out of high school in 1998. I have nearly 20 years experience with many manufacturers, but the longest with Ford.  I have spent most of my time in sales, but I spent a few years as a Service Advisor, and a few more running the day-to-day operations of the used car department for a Ford dealer in Massachusetts.

    Speaking to that, my family and I recently moved to Plattsburgh from Southeastern Massachusetts. I've been married to my wife Erin since 2010 and we have 2 children; Mia and Elijah. I grew up on the water, sailing and swimming. When the weather permits, you're likely to find me at the beach with the family, or on the disc golf course.

    Hi, I'm Ashley! Before finding my way into the car world, I spent years bartending here in Plattsburgh - so talking with people and hearing their stories has always been my thing. When COVID hit, I jumped into auto sales, and it turned out to be the perfect fit. I've always loved Ford, and helping people find a vehicle they're genuinely excited about is the best part of my job.

    I keep things simple, no-pressure, and maybe even a little fun (yes, the corny jokes are free). To me, it's about more than just selling cars - it's about making sure people feel comfortable, cared for, and confident driving away.

    Outside of work, I'm engaged to Devon - the one who keeps me laughing - and together we share life with our three dogs. When I'm not at the dealership, you'll usually find me digging through antique shops, styling vintage finds, or chasing down a new creative project.

    Originally from the Binghamton area, I started my sales career in 2014 after graduating from Plattsburgh State.  I came to Riley Ford in July of 2020.  The experience I had walking into the dealership for the first time is exactly why I wanted to be a part of the team here.  The friendly and positive environment is infectious, and I am proud to be able to showcase that to our customers throughout not only their buying process, but their entire ownership experience.   

     

    I married my wife Kayli in 2017. We have two daughters Luci and Molli, and a 4 legged dog-ter Zola. I am a big hockey and college football fan (NY Rangers & Oregon Ducks). In the fall and winter, you will find me in front of my TV "coaching" my teams and in the summer you can find me on the boat.

    I come from a very Ford oriented family, and I am excited to share my passion for Ford through working with Riley Ford and current / future customers of Riley Ford. I am currently going to school full time for my associates degree in Computer Information, however in my spare time I enjoy comics, watching either the Boston Bruins or Dallas Stars games, and spending time with my girlfriend and our animals. We live together on a small farm and have several cows, chickens, barn cats, house cats, and one dog. I started in sales with Bailey Ford this past year, and I am excited to continue this career with Riley Ford and continue helping make customers for life.

    I am not only new to the Plattsburgh area but also new to the auto industry, and I'm excited to join the Riley family.  I spent the majority of my adult life involved in collegiate coaching, having coached lacrosse at a few different schools over the course of 13 years.  I then jumped into the retail ski industry working for a family-owned business close to home, specializing in ski equipment sales and boot-fitting.  My family has always been involved with classic cars, so I'm a born and raised motor-head.  I'm excited to be joining on to coordinate and expand the Pickup and Delivery Service in order to enhance the overall experience of our customers.

     

    My wife Abby and I were married in October '23 and quickly packed up our home and 4-month-old son, Henry, to establish roots closer to family and friends.  In my free time you will find me skiing at Whiteface or Jay Peak in the winter, and in the summer, hiking the high peaks and enjoying everything the Adirondacks have to offer.

    Finance Manager
    518-846-7131

    I was raised here in the North Country and spent my early adulthood in Indiana and Georgia. I started my career in sales in 1996 at a small used car dealership owned by a friend in Valdosta, GA. I managed the business and sold vehicles to many of my hometown friends and neighbors for over 10 years. 

    In 2008 my family and I made the move back home to Plattsburgh, NY. I could not find a sales position at a dealership at the time, so I opted to try my hand at retail for 4 years at our local Target. I missed the excitement of helping customers with their vehicle needs, so in 2016 I ventured out to find a dealership to work with. Since then, I have been happy making sure that my customers are satisfied. That means making a customer for life as well as a trusted friend who will feel comfortable sending friends and family to see me.

    In my spare time I love a good book, baking bread, and gardening. My greatest joy is being a mother of three amazing children as well as a grandmother of two beautiful granddaughters. I look forward to getting to know you.

    With over 20 years of experience in the customer service industry, my path finally landed me with the Riley Ford family. As someone who has worked in various industries, the automotive world has been the most interesting and exciting chapter of my career thus far. My role as the dealership administrative assistant keeps me on my toes and teaches me something new every day. It's not every day that you find such a genuine, innovative, supportive and caring team like I've found with Riley Ford. 

     On a more personal note, I have been blessed with my wonderful fiancé Michael since 2023. I am also the proud mama of two beautiful children, Reese and Dominic along with my awesome bonus daughter, Charlotte. Alongside everything else, I am a dedicated fur-mom to our 2 loving and goofy "doods", Mac & Rip.  We enjoy spending time together as a family and are constantly on the go with Reese's dance competitions and rehearsals along with Dominic's football practices and games (GO BCS EAGLES!). In my spare time, I enjoy reading a good thriller with a large iced coffee and soaking up every minute I can of the incredible life Michael and I have built together.

    I've started at Riley Ford in December of 2015. I came into this position with a little hesitation due to never working in the auto industry, but I jumped in with both feet and knew I had found my place at Riley Ford. My role at the dealership as Administrative Office Manager allows me to be involved in a bit of everything that goes on and I wouldn't have it any other way.  
     
    A lot of places can say they will treat you like their own, but having witnessed the generosity and compassion first hand from everyone who works here, I can say that we truly stand behind the saying "Riley Ford Family."
