Our Team

ccuster@nelsonmazda.com

Thank you for visiting Nelson Mazda! We are grateful for every customer and our goal is to “Make a Believer” out of each one. We believe that we should treat them the way that we want to be treated with the highest levels of integrity and professionalism. I have been a member of the Nelson organization for 18 years and a partner for the last 7. I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but my family and I moved to Nashville in 2000, and we couldn’t be more excited to call Nashville home. My wife and I have 3 boys who enjoy all the outdoor activities that Nashville has to offer. We enjoy being involved in the community and our church when we are not at the park, a Titans game, or the multiple activities that come with parenting 3 boys!

ssmith@nelsonmazda.com

I was born and lived in Seattle, WA for over 20 years. I have worked for Mr. Nelson for over 11 years, of which the last 7 have been here in TN. THe road to Nashville also included Maui and Oklahoma (what a combination). I have a wonderful family- wife, Christina, son, Nicholas, and daughter Olivia. Like most these days, I always seem to be on the run, but when I get a chance, I enjoy fishing with the kids or watching a Red Sox game with my wife. Although I'm not sure who's louder, her or I!

I came here admiring the religious background of the company, and it is a huge reason I enjoy coming to work each day. In my spare time I coach fast pitch softball with my father. It has been a passion of mine since age 6. Sporty and bold, like the new 6 :-)

Service Advisor

I moved from Michigan to the Hendersonville area in 1984 and have been in the automotive service field virtually ever since and have enjoyed becoming a member of the Nelson Mazda family. I value life's simple pleasures, like spending time with my two wonderful daughters. My life's motto is Psalm 118:24 "This is the day that the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it"

We have 2 kids, 3 boxers, 1 pug, and a cat. In my free time I enjoy wathcing movies, going to the gym, and training brazilian jiu-jitsu at Evolution Jiu-Jitsu Academy (www.evojj.com), and competing in tournaments.

I moved here from New York when I was 9 years old. I now live in White House, TN. When I'm not working you can usually find me at home with my family, which includes my husband (a Mazda technician), a son, daughter, and many animals. I recently celebrated my 6 year anniversary with Nelson Mazda and enjoyed every moment.
