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

- Nick Teeter, Finance Manager
I have worked at Kokomo Auto World for 3 years now and it is my first Auto Sales job. I specialize in Pre-Owned Sales. The thing I like the most about working here is how transparent and straight-forward our process is for buying a pre-owned vehicle.

- 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!
