You wander down the hall and pop into his father’s office. Ask him to say the first thing that comes to mind when you say, “JD,” and out comes, “great father.” The pattern’s obvious. Here’s a business man who stacks his priorities properly.

Someone has said, “For your public life to go wide, make your private life go deep.” J.D. Almond is on track to make that his story.

When it comes to his public life, it’s much about wheels. He’s as comfortable conquering a mountain on two as taking a Sunday drive on four. It’s the Cathedral Rock Trail near Sedona that get’s his vote for “best mountain bike trail in the state.” He also loves taking one of his three bikes on the road with family, friends and competitors. He and several of the people you’ll meet on these pages traverse Arizona Highways together. His family is precious. His play is passionate. His work is serious.

As the operations manager at Auto Executive, JD serves the sales team so they can serve you better. “Service” reigns as the royal priority here. From the back lot to the front desk it’s the word you hear most often. Every sales agent will tell you that J.D.’s fundamental challenge to them is that they take their time with you when you call, to slow things down to gain a thorough understanding of your needs, and never give you the feeling that they are in a hurry to get on to something or someone else. The men and women on this team love working in this place where it’s about: take-your-time, and do-what’s-great-for-the-customer. As J.D. puts it, “We’re here to make customers for life. It’s not about a quick sale; it’s about the purchase that’s right for you.”

JD Almond is one of the reasons Auto Executives offers a truly different kind of automobile buying experience.
