John Stewart
Parts Manager
John’s story begins on a Sunday afternoon, as a 12-year-old boy, whose uncle took him for a ride in a 1973 Chevy Camaro. His uncle pulled out of the driveway, turned the first corner to the main road and hit the throttle full bore. Little John was instantly hooked! After that, he embraced every opportunity to learn anything and everything he could from his uncle about cars. Their first project together was a 1973 Barracuda for his aunt. He spent every minute he had to spare working, and learning on, that Cuda, until it was complete. The satisfaction he felt from that has driven him all way through his life.

Palmen Buick GMC Cadillac Management
Kenny Gersch
Vice President & General Manager - Palmen Buick GMC Cadillac
My name is Kenny Gersch and I am the General Manager at Palmen Buick GMC Cadillac. I began my career in auto sales in June of 2000. I’ve made a career in taking care of the new friends that I meet, as well as the friends that I have met along the way, and helping them fulfill their transportation needs. The best part of my job is watching how much these families have grown in that time. With our team here at Palmen Buick GMC Cadillac, I’m excited to continue to make new friends, and help my “old” friends and their families with all of their automotive needs. Whether it is new or pre-owned, financing or leasing, I can help you with any vehicle across the Palmen Auto Group. When I am not in the office, I have all of my free time dedicated to my wonderful wife and three beautiful kids, a little hunting, fishing, or just enjoying the outdoors. Feel free to give me a call for any of your automotive needs at (262)694-1500.
