Gabe Johansen began his professional career at the age of 14, washing cars at his family’s new car dealership. He worked his way from a floor salesperson to become the General Manager leading a staff of more than 50 employees that produced in excess of $25MM retail sales every year. When Gabe’s father became ill, it was apparent that the family dealership had to be sold. He negotiated the complicated sale of the family business in what turned out to be his introduction to high level brokerage.
