Bryce C.
Sales Representative
Graduated from CCHS, born and raised in Gillette, WY. Sold cars since I was 23 years old. I have two daughters and love camping, hiking, and the lake. I really enjoy sunshine and the beach. I understand selling cars more than most because I have seen it all. I can make buying a car very easy and efficient because I know how to meet you needs. I listen, a very rare gift.

He donates his time (and his grill) in the summers to compete in the Smokin’ on the Prairie Charity Cook-Off.
