Staff Spotlight: Corey Rissler

Corey Rissler has recently been promoted to General Manager at the Fremont Motors Volkswagen dealership in Casper, Wyoming. At the young age of 26, this makes Corey one of the youngest dealership general managers within the company. His determination, strong work ethics, and dedication to the company have paved the way to his success.

Corey Rissler has been in the business for over 8 years now, initially starting as a sales consultant at the Lander store. He has also worked in finance at one of the busiest dealerships in Casper. Although Corey was born in Casper, WY, he was raised in Riverton and has lived in Wyoming his entire life.

He says the best part of being a manager within the company, is that he likes to inspire others to be the best they can. Corey wants to help his employees reach their potential as well as inspiring them to be good people within the community. During the interview, Corey was asked what he was an expert at. Perhaps being modest should have been the answer. He feels he is an encouraging leader and hopes to disseminate positivity throughout the dealership and to customers.
