Hi, I'm Denzel! I have been with the Gerald Auto Group since 2017 and I am loving it! I have been a subaru lover since I was young. In fact I just bought my second NEW car, a 2019 Subaru Outback. When it comes to Subaru, I love to research and find out everything I can about the new product line each year!
If I'm not at the dealership with customers, I love to travel and spend time with my wife, Katie. Or you can catch me training this pup in the picture. A new addition to the family, Bentley loves to stop in a see everyone here at the corner of orchard and 88!
Stop in and ask for me! Bentley and I would love to help you with your new Subaru or pre owned vehicle!

I'm Jon Dewig, or Big John as I'm commonly called. I'm easily the most senior sales consultant at Gerald Subaru North Aurora with 17+ years on the floor. Over the years I've grown to love the brand I represent more and more each day. I have the privilege of working with repeat clients over several generations. Just as it was my honor to serve this great country it is also my honor to serve the people of North Aurora. I'm a student of all things Subaru so feel free to stop by my desk and test out my knowledge.
Away from the dealership I find my interests varied in true Subie fashion. I like extreme sports, gourmet cooking, charity events, documentaries and travel but more than anything playing the role of big boo (Monster's Inc.) to daddy's little girl.

My name is Faruq (Fa-Ruk), and I'm a sales consultant with Gerald Subaru North Aurora. Previously I studied at NIU with an emphasis on Biology but found business to be a much better fit while working here to attain my degree. With a couple years experience I am learning to appreciate Subaru more and more each day. We have one of the only full time All Wheel Drive systems in the industry and Consumer Reports raves about us year after year.
Outside of Subaru when I'm not studying it comes as a shock to most people that I have a very strong appreciation for art. My tastes vary but abstract and contemporary are a few that captivate my attention. Next time you stop by let's chat about local galleries while I demonstrate why Subaru should be your only choice.

Hi, I'm Kenny and I'm part of the sales team here at Gerald Subaru of North Aurora. I'm newer to the automotive industry but I have a passion and desire to help. Subaru is my brand of choice because as a parent the safety features are second to none. You haven't experienced piece of mind until you plow through Chicagoland's harshest winters in an All Wheel Drive Subaru.
When not in the office I enjoy boxing as both a participant and spectator. Of all my awards the only bout I've lost continuously is against my little girl when she asks for something.Stop by and ask for Kenny, I'll try and beat up some prices for you!!!!!

My name is Jay and I've had the pleasure of working with the Gerald Organization since February of 2015. I love the Subaru brand as a whole because of what we stand for; zero-landfill manufacturing plant, award winning residual value, world renowned AWD systems and the Love campaign which gives millions back to the community thru local and national charities year after year.
As a true Subie! When not helping you find your next vehicle, I can be found with my spouse "Keesha" transporting one of our children to their chosen activities ranging from gymnastics to MMA. As a licensed minister, my Subaru and I brave Chicagoland's varied seasons while visiting local hospitals, attending charitable events, sponsoring youth ministry and facilitating religious services to name a few.Stop in to see me any time and allow us to show why Gerald Subaru of North Aurora is the only choice for your next vehicle!!!!!!!

My name is Sean Ryan and I recently celebrated my 4 year anniversary with Gerald Subaru of North Aurora where I currently serve as a finance manager. When I'm not polishing up on the latest news in the automotive industry I can be found keeping up with my girlfriend and our adorably mischievous puppy Lucy or Luci-raptor pending the day. Much in line with Subaru culture an active lifestyle is mandatory; Blackhawks, motorcycles, travel and good food aren't just hobbies they are life.
Stop in and let me show you "Why Subaru" while ensuring you have all the information you'd need to make an informed decision regarding warranties, maintenance and the most cost effective ways of getting into your new Subie!!!!!

- Thank you for taking an interest in learning about me. I started my parts career in 1995 and made a big move up to Gerald Subaru in 2004. We have grown a great deal in my time here. When I first started here, Subaru and Nissan were under one roof. I was here for the expansion that gave Subaru our own sales, service and parts areas but still at the same location. We out grew the expansion and now Gerald Subaru has it's own stand alone building. The Gerald family gives us all the tools we need to succeed and are great to work for! I not only work for Subaru but I also drive them as well. My first Subaru made it to 325,000 miles! I currently drive a WRX and have a lot of fun doing it. My hobbies include Kung Fu, working out, running ( I have ran the Chicago Marathon), home brewing beer and eating.

I have been with Subaru since 1978! I have a lovely wife who is my best friend and partner. We have one boy and three girls and one dog that are the light of our lives. We are very into camping, so much that we have a camper at a campsite all winter long and that is my fun weekend! We leave Friday and then come home Sunday's. I have owned so many Subarus over the years I cannot recount each one. I currently own a 2003 Baja, a 2003 Outback and a 2013 Legacy. After all the years working for Subaru have been wonderful and I am in as much love working on these vehicles as I was when I first started! I love to find out what the cause of a breakdown is and fix it. The harder it is the more I get to use my years of experience to find the fix and deliver a vehicle back to my customer that they are very pleased with.
I am a Subaru Senior Master Certfied Technician. I have been with Subaru working on cars since 1978. My Service Manager said that I would not be retiring anytime soon though so I will be here for many more years of service to our community.

Working on cars has been a hobby of mine my whole life. My love of cars began when I was very young, washing and fixing the family car with my dad. I continued this passion for cars through school and graduated with high honors from the Universal Technical Institute. I spent 10 years with Mercedes Benz before pursuing my career here at Gerald Subaru which I have been here since 2016. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and son taking my dog for walks and enjoying the outdoors. A little trivia about me is I am a trained artist and enjoy painting and doing projects around the house.
- Kent Parker
- Technician
Originally I got my degree in education. I enjoy helping others, but I decided to switch careers. I have always had a love of cars and Subaru was a perfect fit. I love working for a company that is committed to putting the best vehicles on the road while preserving our environment. One of the best parts of my job is providing our customers with the highest level of service and making sure their vehicle is running the way it was designed.
I recently just completed the Subaru Master Technician program. I am very proud of the knowledge I have gained and look forward to being with and using this knowledge here at Gerald Subaru for many years to come.

- I am married to my beautiful wife Katie and we have a little angel of a daughter Gwendolyn. I moved from the Champaign area to the Chicagoland area in 2015 and really enjoy the many different things my family can do so close to Chicago without having to live in the city itself.I bought a new 2018 WRX and LOVE IT! I am very familiar with the Subaru platform as I have also worked at another Subaru dealership before coming to Gerald. I love the way Subaru engineers their vehicles and the fact that they are so easy to work on.I value my free time and enjoy gaming and bike rides with my wife. Gerald Subaru of North Aurora has made my transition seamless and I am glad to grow with the company.
