    D'Lacy Stith

    General Manager

    I am proud to say that I have been with Toyota since the year 2000! Over this period of time, I have been able to watch our automobiles evolve to become the industry’s leader in Hybrid Technology, Safety, Reliability, and Resale value. Toyota as a manufacturer has also grown to Number 1 in sales globally! Over my years with Toyota, I have achieved Gold in Sales Society, Sales Excellence Award, and a Master Level in Sales Certification.

    I try to treat everyone who buys a vehicle from us, the same way I treat my family members when they purchase a New vehicle from me. I think the buying process should include getting the vehicle YOU WANT, at a FAIR PRICE, with a HASSLE-FREE buying experience.

    I am a proud father of three, I really enjoy spending time with my wife and 3 children outside of work. My hobbies include gardening, cooking(I consider myself to be a grill-master:) and riding motorcycles.

    Sales Manager

    Joining the Germain team in August 2023 as a sales manager, I’m Michael Rowe. My prior management experience will be of great value in my current position. Out of High School, I joined the US Air Force which allowed me the opportunities to develop many skills that I find beneficial today. I completed leadership school when making the rank of E5 and was stationed at Elgin AFB, I attended Okaloosa Community College graduating with a degree in hotel restaurant management. Military service ran in my family, my grandparents were both in the Army where they met and married during WWII. I continue to educate myself daily through reading and online training which allows me to stay sharp and be my best at what I do. I absolutely love people and providing them with an amazing customer experience. My beliefs and Germain’s core values align perfectly as I live them every day. Born and raised in Reynoldsburg, OH I enjoy that the Columbus area is such a large melting pot of different people and cultures. Currently residing in Pickerington with my wife Natalie and son Conner I spend my free time exercising, riding motorcycles, golfing, being a dad, watching sports, traveling, and boating. Conner is an honor roll student and is active in sports so that also keeps his mother and I busy. My favorite vacation escape was in Roatan, Honduras. I love the beauty, culture, and people there. Of the Toyota line, the Supra is my favorite, I love to go fast. I look forward to meeting you while you are visiting and looking for your favorite ride.

    Service Director

    Hello, I’m Troy Almanson; Service Director for Germain Toyota of Columbus. The Germain Family presented the opportunity to become a part of their team in 2016 as a Service Advisor. My unique technical experience and customer satisfaction background led to the opportunity for my current position. I was born with a passion for taking things apart and finding out how they worked. My mother grew tired of me taking apart my bikes, lawnmowers, and household appliances within no time so I had to center my focus elsewhere, or else. That’s where my love for cars began and by the time I was 14, I was doing oil changes, brake jobs, and starting to tear into so much more.

    I grew up in the Mansfield area, spelling Tygers with a “Y” while playing basketball and football during my youth. Shortly after graduating, I relocated to Columbus to continue my education in Engineering and Computer-Aided Drafting and Design. Away from work, I enjoy working on my Suzuki K7 Gsxr 750 motorcycle, listening to live music from my favorite new-school jazz and hip-hop artists, and diving into anything I can read: from my favorite comic books and graphic novels to poetry and self-help books; as well as, my Sunday football routine with an incredible group of friends, I think of as family. Here we go, Steelers, here we go! The most rewarding part of my position is providing my team with the right support and tools needed to provide our customers with exceptional service and the security of knowing they can depend on their vehicle every time they turn the key or push the start button. I look forward to meeting you during your service visit at Germain Toyota.

I’m excited to put my diverse auto knowledge to work that I have developed since my career in the field began in July 2002. I believe our customers are always our priority. They have chosen to trust us with their vehicles and needs so we have an obligation to treat every customer like a part of the Germain family. Born and raised in Groveport, OH I’m a graduate of Groveport Madison High School. Away from work, I enjoy watching movies, collecting sneakers, and spending time at home or you might catch me on stage displaying my talents as a stand-up comedian. If I were to be a superhero, I think I would be Batman, just because it’s Batman, duh. My favorite vacation escape was in Niagara Falls Canada, exploring the area with my best friend. The Tacoma is my favorite Toyota for its size and versatility, along with fuel economy and a great look.

    Hello, I’m Sam Levy Body Shop Manager for Germain Toyota of Columbus. Joining the Germain team in February 2023 my automotive career began in June 1982 having owned my own independent shop. I believe to serve our customers we should “get it done right the 1st time in a timely manner with an open communication line to the customer” Born and raised in Ohio at Lockbourne A.F.B. later known as Rickenbacker, I’m an Air Force brat. I’ve lived around the world but always ended up back in Columbus where of course, I’m a BUCKEYE fan. I graduated from Whitehall Yearling and OSU / Hondros, Central Skyport Flight School. Away from work, I enjoy watching and playing live music, karaoke, riding my Harley, and spending time with my children and grandchildren along with my fiance’ Claudia. My love of music led me to being a longtime professional musician and singer. My superhero alter ego is Batman, my childhood hero. Vacationing in New York City is my favorite place to go as I have family located there. Our body shop team is here to assist you with your collision needs.

    My name is D’Lacy Bass, a sales consultant for Germain Toyota of Columbus. Joining the Germain sales team in March 2023 I’m excited to provide a quality guest experience for all our valued customers. Born and raised in Columbus, OH I attend Mt. Vernon Nazarene University and love all the summer festivals that take place. When I’m not at the dealership I enjoy hanging out with my pup and shopping for plants. If I were to be a fictional character, I would be Hermione Granger, she is very intelligent and a great problem solver while always being humble or Olivia Pope, she was an excellent negotiator and could command a room. NYC has been my favorite vacation escape. I enjoyed not having to drive to get somewhere and there is always something to do. My favorite of the Toyota line production ceased in the 90’s, the Toyota Sunrader. I would love to have one to travel around in. I look forward to meeting you and helping you find your favorite vehicle.

I’m excited to put my skills to work to help our valued customers find the cars of their dreams while providing a positive and quality guest experience.

Away from work, I enjoy photography and video editing. I also am a musician, writer, director, editor, and researcher. You might catch me writing sheet music as well. Vacationing in Florida was a favorite of mine for the warm weather, ocean, and overall vibes. I enjoy the Islands also for the secluded feelings and photo opportunities. Of the Toyota line, the Camry is my favorite for the dependability and sporty look.

    Sales Consultant

    Hello, I’m Kenzie Conley, sales consultant for Germain Toyota. Joining the Germain team in August 2023 I’m excited to bring my experience to my new role. Prior to entering the automotive industry, I worked as an EMT, a Cadet at Columbus Fire Academy, and a shift supervisor at Starbucks. All these positions allowed me to develop skills that will be beneficial in my sales position. I believe it’s important to treat every customer like my friend or family. I hope to be a part of transforming how people think about car salespeople. I want them to picture someone who is friendly and willing to assist in any way they can. Being part of a trustworthy team is important to me. It is easy for me to sell cars repping the Germain name knowing that we are customer-oriented. Born and raised in Columbus, I graduated from Hilliard Davison High School. I love the opportunity this city has to offer. The way it is always developing is another thing that keeps me here. After graduating high school, I enrolled in Akron University and a month before I was to begin, I pulled myself out and lived in England, where my mother is from, for a few months instead. Best decision I ever made. Prior to injuring my ankle, I kept busy in my free time power lifting, boxing trainer, and was a high school Softball Coach. Due to my injury, I took some time off to heal but look forward to returning to these activities. For now, I stay busy spending time with my significant other Alyssa, and our two dogs Chandler and Alfie. If I were a fictional character, I would be Doctor Who, specifically the eleventh doctor played by Matt Smith. Being able to have adventures and time travel would make life beyond interesting. I enjoy many genres and music but never skip a song by Fletcher or Morgan Wallen. Vacation at the ocean is something I will never turn down. My family always took beach vacations since I was a child, so it has become my peace. My favorite of the Toyota line is the 2023 Crown. Not only its incredible style but with it being a bit taller than the Camry it makes the Crown much more comfortable and versatile.

My prior experience having worked as a detailer in an auto dealership exposed me to many aspects of the business. My goal is to provide a quality experience, having our guests find the car they want or have dreamed of and driving off the lot with a smile on their face. Being from Port Charlette, FL I miss the beach, the weather, and the people. I moved with family to the Columbus area in 2008 and I graduated from Pickerington North HS. When I’m away from the dealership, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. If I were a superhero, I would be Batman. He drives sweet vehicles and possesses no inhuman superpowers. I have never been to Italy but have always wanted to visit and I will someday. Of the Toyota line, my favorite is the Avalon. It offers everything you need and more. I’m excited to help you find your favorite.

Prior to joining the automotive industry, I served our country in the U.S. Airforce. I believe in providing excellent service there is no better guidance than the golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. I treat my customer’s the way I wish to be treated. Born and raised in Marion, LA. I, of course, am an LSU football fan and love Cajun cuisine. I moved to the Columbus area out of the USAF in 2001. I have two children Jaxson and Madalyn and when I’m not busy with them I try to get in a round or two of golf. My favorite Toyota is the Camry, I’ve owned one since 2002.

    Hi, I’m Matthew Troutman, a photographer for Germain Toyota of Columbus. My automotive career began in January 2021, and I transitioned to the Germain team in January 2022. I specialize in design, photography, and marketing, have training and learning through Columbus State Community College, and graduated in Applied Science – Design and Photography. My goal is to be as professional and consistent as possible to provide easy-to-look images of various models of cars for our customers to enjoy looking at while making their decisions on a vehicle. It’s the marketing of the buyer’s journey that I put into consideration for how Germain Toyota’s inventory gets presented. Also showing media on social media networks since that is the new norm now. Born and raised in Iowa I loved the landscape, easy living, and peacefulness of the area. Our family relocated to Ohio 20 years ago, I spent 5 years in Blacklick and moved to Gahanna where I have lived the past 15 years and graduated from Gahanna Lincoln High School. Away from work, I enjoy golfing, working on cars, and collecting tradable cards. If I could be a fictional character for a day, I believe I would be the childhood classic Spiderman. I grew up watching cartoons, and movies and reading comic books. I always felt I could relate to Spiderman and what he did for his neighborhood/community. My favorite vacation escape is in Florida, there is plenty to do as far as tourism, but I also have family there, so it has been my primary vacation spot. The Toyota Camry TRD is my favorite of the line, because of the sporty look and feel it has. I hope you enjoy the photos online and that they assist you in finding your perfect vehicle.

Cancun is so relaxing and beautiful it’s nice to kick back and just drift away to the music. Since I have owned three Rav4’s I’d have to say it’s my chosen Toyota. They are comfortable and a great family vehicle.

Away from work, I enjoy reading, listening to music (my favorite is Michael Jackson’s Thriller album, who doesn’t love this one), and enjoying family time especially with my son Isaiah. My all-time vacation spot is anywhere in California for the beautiful weather and luxurious living. The Toyota Corolla is my favorite model and I look forward to assisting you with the scheduling of your favorite Toyota for service.

    Hello, I’m Asher Puri; Business Manager for Germain Toyota of Columbus. I started in the automotive industry in 2000 joining the Germain team in 2009. I believe in treating each and every customer’s money as if it was my own. I moved to the United States for higher education at OSU. In my free time, I stay busy raising my two beautiful daughters and enjoy spending time with friends and family. Our favorite vacation spot is Cedar Point, we are definitely a roller coaster freak family. I assume you might call this a hidden talent, but I can eat a raw habanero pepper and not even blink or feel the heat. I also speak 5 languages. My favorite Toyota is any fully loaded model.

    Hello, my name is AJ Castin, Sales Consultant for Germain Toyota of Columbus. I entered the automotive industry in 2014 joining the Germain team in November of 2016. I dedicated to providing our guests a quality experience with my “customer first guarantee” philosophy. Born and raised in Pickerington, OH I graduated from Pickerington Central High School. I love the fact that Football is BIG in the Columbus area. When I’m not working I enjoy relaxing, being outdoors, watching football and riding motorcycles. If I were to be a superhero, it would have to be the Hulk, he can be normal and a destroyer all at the same time. My favorite vacation getaway is Florida, I have a lot of family there and I and I can relax and kick back listening to my favorite song Fix by Chris Lane. I also am very mechanically inclined so I find myself getting into certain items the interest me. My favorite Toyota is the Tacoma, there are unlimited things you can do with them.

    Parts Consultant

    Hello, I’m Jordyn Newman, wholesale parts specialist for Germain Toyota of Columbus. Having worked in the auto industry since 2013 I joined the Germain team in 2021. Prior to transferring to Toyota, I worked for our Honda location as a parts specialist as well as a body shop parts specialist. I treat every customer how I would like to be treated. I always remember that their car is one of the most important items that a person owns and try to help ensure customers feel comfortable and confident in their purchases with us. Born and raised in Granville, OH I attended Granville High School and love that everyone knows everyone, and businesses are family owned. Away from work, I enjoy spending time with my daughter Addelyn and coaching her sports. If I were a fictional character, I would be Buzz Lightyear for no other reason than he was my favorite childhood character. My favorite vacation spot was in Bar Harbor Maine. It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited, and its seafood is fresh. When it comes to music, there isn’t one song I gravitate to, however, my favorite artist is Kanye West. If I could take home any Toyota model, it would be the TRD Camry, because of its looks and fuel efficiency. I look forward to assisting you with your parts needs.
