Special Report: Transitioning to the Next Generation of Dealers

Dad Had to Leave the Building

By Mike Lessiter and Jennifer M. Carroll posted on June 1, 2014 | Posted in Dealer Succession
I grew up here in Arnett. When I graduated high school and left for college, I never planned to come back. So no, there wasn't any master plan for me to take over the dealership; I wasn't sure where my career would take me. The year we were married, my ex-husband started his veterinarian degree at Oklahoma State and I started my career in Target's management program.
