Sales Manager

I have been with Progressive since the spring of 2012. Moving from my previous role as a sales and leasing consultant at a franchise dealership. I brought with me a particular set of skills, not unlike Liam Neeson in Taken. In 2018, I was promoted to Sales Manager where I'm excited to serve our customers and the dealership in a different capacity. I enjoy the outdoors, camping and fishing while spending time with my wife and 2 children. I also enjoy weekends at home with some good BBQI have been with Progressive since the spring of 2012.

Justin  Campbell
Justin Campbell
Financial Services Manager

I have been in the Automotive industry since September of 1999. When I think about that now, it astounds me that I have been doing this as long as I have! I have been fortunate enough to experience working at several dealerships in a couple of different cities and I have had many titles and positions over the years. Thankfully, when I started at Progressive Auto Sales in March of 2013, they recognized what I was best suited for and allowed me the opportunity to grow with them in that capacity! I love selling cars more today than I ever have thanks to Progressive and how they do business, but what I really love is helping people with their financing. I specialize in working with people with challenged credit and making sure they get the very best possible terms for their purchase. I love what I do and after so many years searching for the right fit, I can honestly say that I couldn't be happier with my role at Progressive Auto Sales! I married the love of my life, Denise Gallagher, in 1998 and I've been fortunate enough to have two beautiful daughters with her! Emma, my oldest born in 1998, is thriving in Kingston pursuit her own life goals and my youngest, Ella, born in 2003, keeps us on our toes here in Sarnia as a student at St Patrick's High School. I enjoy my family immensely and feel very lucky. Denise and I enjoy spending as much time together as we can and travelling the world together is a goal we are trying to reach year by year and day by day.I have been in the Automotive industry since September of 1999.
