Hi, I’m Preston Jenkins, a sales consultant at Germain Toyota of Columbus. Joining the Germain team in August 2021, this is my entry into the automotive industry. My previous experience as a Real Estate Agent and a supervisor for Oesterlen Family Services and Youth helped me develop the skills I need to be successful. It has equipped me with a foundation in customer service, communication, and problem-solving. I also developed the ability to understand clients’ needs, negotiate effectively, and manage complex transactions. Similarly, my experience in supervision within children and family services taught me to be empathetic, detail-oriented, and patient while working with diverse individuals. My philosophy regarding customers is rooted in building trust, understanding their unique needs, and delivering exceptional service. Born in Ohio and raised in Pataskala, I love that I grew up in a close-knit community where everyone truly supported one another. There’s a real sense of pride in both the community and its traditions. That shared bond has shaped who I am today, and I carry those values of teamwork and support into everything I do. Graduating from Watkins Memorial, I continued my education at Urbana University with a dual degree, Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Bachelors of Liberal Arts in Sociology. Away from work, I enjoy hiking, fishing, and camping, along with participating in summer softball leagues. My fictional character alter ego is Iron Man. I admire his intellect, innovation, and strong sense of responsibility to help others. Some fun facts about me: My favorite quote is “We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated” – Maya Angelou. It reminds me of the importance of resilience and perseverance in the face of challenges. My most played song is Lose Yourself by Eminem. My most loved vacation escape is in the mountains. Being surrounded by nature brings a sense of calm. Of the Toyota line, the 2025 TRD 4Runner is my favorite. It’s the perfect blend of rugged durability and off-road capability while providing a comfortable and reliable ride. I look forward to helping you find your favorite.
