Management

Greg Landwerlen, Owner/Managing Partner

I have been here at Kokomo Auto World for 15 years and have over 41 years experience in the car industry. I get the most from assisting others reach their life goals and creating a culture that revolves around giving and being kind to others. Anyone can sell a car, few can provide a trusting relationship that lasts a lifetime.

Jennifer Harless, Comptroller

I have worked in accounting with Kokomo Auto World for nearly 14 years. I have sat at every desk in the office and now run the office. The only time as an adult I have not worked in accounting were the two years I sold cars in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree from University of Indiana, but still consider Oklahoma my home. Kokomo Auto World has been a great place to earn a living. I enjoy the atmosphere, the people, and the opportunities for growth and experience

Adam Richardson, Vehicle Specialist

My name is Adam Richardson, and I've been part of our Kokomo Auto World family for 15 years. I was hired right out of High School and started out as a lot porter, checking vehicles, making sure our inventory/lot always looked good, new, and fresh. I then moved up to managing the Detail department and then Internal Service Advisor, assisting the Pre-Owned inventory from service and repair. I then moved into a Customer Service Advisor, working with customers and taking care of their vehicle needs. I worked in Service for 5 years before getting introduced into the Sales department and I love what I do! I love helping people and meeting their satisfaction, in finding the right vehicle that fits all their needs at a great price. Kokomo Auto World is family, and with out the giving me the opportunity 14 years ago, I would not be where I'm at today. I love our staff, we are a team and work well together. Thank you Kokomo Auto World, Greg L, Chris S, Michael K, and Andrew B for believing in me!
