My name is Hector Espinosa and I was raised in Phoenix, Arizona. After graduating high school in 1988, I joined the Marines and served in of the Persian Gulf War. That experience taught me what I apply both personally and professionally today - always operate with this highest degree of integrity, trust, honor, and ethics. I strive to instill these qualities in my employees and treat all customers with the respect they deserve. I have been in the car industry since 1992 and joined the Franklin team in 2004. I have been married to my beautiful wife and high school sweetheart for 20 years. We moved to the Kansas City area in 1996 where we raise our two boys. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and an occasional game of golf!
I've had the pleasure of working for Jeremy Franklin Suzuki for the past 4 years. Working alongside an incredible team who is completely committed by: continuing to expand their knowledge base on an on going basis, providing excellent customer service, and a team you can be confident will assist you with a smile from the moment you arrive. Away from work, I enjoy fishing, golfing, and riding in my 1983 CJ7. I've been married to my lovely wife for 17 years and have 5 beautiful children. jespinosa@jeremyfranklin.com

Jesse Hardin
I am married with 5 children 4 girls 1 boy who 2 of them are currently attending college. My wife just happens to be my high school sweetheart; we have been together for 34 wonderful glorious years. Before I began my career in the car business I operated a Haagen – Daz / Dove Bun franchise which is where I developed my outstanding work ethic. I started working at the age of 9 years old which consisted of me mowing all my neighbors’ yards. My second job was at the age of 12 which made me an hourly wage of $1.60 per hour, working has just been apart of my life. Currently I have been at Jeremy Franklin Suzuki for 7 years now and don’t plan on going anywhere; also I am the chairman of my church deacon board and love every minute of it. The greatest part of this job is helping people because even bad things happen to great people. On my days off I like to enjoy a nice day of golfing, even if my game isn’t the greatest.
My philosophy is Friends First. In today’s business climate that is sometime a lost concept. Many other dealerships focus only on your business today. I personally believe that you should never feel like you were just a sale. But treated like a Friend. I want you to be proud to say that Deon Willis sold me my automobile, and recommend family members and friends to do the same. That is what sets me apart from the other salesmen, the personal relationship touch. I guarantee a smile on every visit! If you have a problem rest assured, I will give 120% of my efforts to reconcile the matter in a timely fashion. Because that’s what friends are for. Myself and my family (Crystal, my wife of 4 yrs and our daughter Jordyn), appreciate your continued business and look forward to working with you.

I am an outgoing individual who is always up for a challenge. My favorite quote is "Excellence is not an act, But a Habit" and I believe that can be shown in every day activities. I am one of two sons, which I am the eldest. I coached my brothers soccer team for 5 years and loved every minute of it. I believe leadership skills are a great thing to achieve. Not only am I a full time Sales Consulant, but also a full time college student which is giving me a great opportunity to learn and grow as a person. I enjoy working with people and helping others in need. I like to have fun at my job and keep myself active. In my free time I like to weight lift, play basketabll and soccer. joespinosa@myaeros.net
Moses D Fields Jr
Sales and Leasing Consultant
As a Northeast High School graduate and a full time college student seeking my bachelors in Business Management, I am all about personal growth and personal fulfillment. Here at Jeremy Franklin Suzuki, I receive that and more. I have the satisfaction of assisting families in reaching their personal and professional goals. "There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs" has been the motto of life every since I have been apart of the Franklin family, in 2005. I have learned that our team here has been a firm believer of client honor, consistency and reliability. I am a Sales Consultant and the house Photographer, which keeps me active because we take care of so many families. In the few moments of down time, I am a Smith-Hale Middle School Football and Track coach, since 2005. I enjoy playing football, tennis, modeling and photography. In addition to serving my community, I will be also serving our country in the United States Navy, in the summer of 2010.
My name is Ricky Johnson (RJ). I believe hard work is the key to success. After graduating from Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts, I moved up North to Westchester County, NY where I attended Monroe College of Business and Technology. My drive and motivation are key attributes within my personality. First, I credit all my success to god, my family and the village that raised me. I’m the oldest of four children, so I am doing the best I can to set a good example by being a leader at all times! In my free time I play basketball and workout, also I have a passion for writing and producing music. Here at Jeremy Franklin Suzuki of Kansas City I may not be the most seasoned sales consultant, but consider me a friend who will provide the best possible experience for you and your family.
Cody Reddell
Most all of my life has been within the Kansas City Area. Growing up in small towns is all I’m used to, which is why I quickly fell in love with playing sports. Basketball, football, soccer, baseball and tennis, just to name a few of my favorites. Of all the sports I’ve played, basketball is by far the game I love the most. After having a great basketball career at GrainValleyHigh School, I accepted a scholarship from OttawaUniversity to play college ball. After playing varsity as a freshman and going to Nationals and winning a Conference Championship ring, I decided to give up the game I love to focus on my major. I believe the hard work dedicated on the court has lead to the hard work off of it. I’m very thankful for the blessing God has given me; a loving family, loyal and caring friends, and great opportunities that life has presented me with. Family and friends come first in my priorities, getting them to laugh and enjoy life is my specialty. My outgoing personality is one thing that helps me not to take life so seriously. I love meeting new people, so I’m looking forward to meeting and helping you soon.

I am 46 years young and live life to the fullest. I am happily married with 4 children and 2 grand children. I graduated high school in 1980. I would say I am the most positive person you will ever meet. When I am handed lemons I make lemonade. I truly believe the happiest people don't have the best of everything they just make the best of everything they have. I came to work for Jeremy Franklin in May of 2007 and I love working here. I really care about all the people that work here and am always ready to lend a hand or listen to what you have to say. I will say Jeremy Franklin and those that work here are honest and will do their very best to make sure your experience here at the dealership is as pleasant as it can be. jkelly@jeremyfranklin.com
