Business Manager – Orfordville

I am very proud to have been working with General Motors in some capacity for over 30 years, with the past twelve here at Burtness Chevrolet. The friendly, family-oriented, promote from within atmosphere the dealership believes in makes it a very easy place to want to work…and an even better place to want to do business with. It is our no-hassle, stress-free, honest and transparent environment that keeps our customers coming back, time after time.

Hi, my name is Nick and I have been at Burtness for almost 3 years. I’m proud to say that I work at Burtness. My favorite part about working at Burtness is meeting all the amazing people who walk through the door. We are all close at Burtness and I think that makes for a great environment and our customers see that and it makes for a great place to be at.
I have been in the Whitewater area my whole life. During my free time in the summer, I enjoy taking my motorcycle on day trips with my brother all over Wisconsin. I also enjoy tinkering with my motorcycle and cars as well.

I’ve been part of the Burtness family since 1996. I started as a service advisor and moved to the sales department in 2002. Today, along with retail sales, I handle a majority of our fleet and commercial sales. When not at work I can be found enjoying the outdoors with my wife and two kids. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you with your next vehicle purchase.

I’ve been with the Burtness Chevrolet family since June 2012, and I have been in automotive sales since 1996. My goal is to keep the automotive buying process stress free & entertaining, and I work hard to make sure you get the best deal possible. In my spare time I am a member of two Christian rock bands. I play bass for Days of Awe and guitar for From the Wreckage Band. I am a proud father of my daughter Nicole, a Navy Veteran who has a Masters in Social Work. Stop in today for an awesome deal!

I’m excited to work at Burtness Chevrolet after being a customer for more than twenty years! I’ve always appreciated the relaxed, no-pressure sales approach that Burtness customers rave about. When spending my money, I prefer to buy things – not to be sold (hint, I’m really good at letting you be a buyer).
I’m a native Wisconsinite having grown up in Milton, but living the last twenty-seven years in Janesville. I am married to a wonderful lady, Jackie. We have a golden retriever who will be turning twelve soon, named Millie. I think she’s figured out that she’s older than we are so she doesn’t need to listen as well.
My wife and I are both passionate about travel – We’ve visited over 25 different countries and can’t wait to visit more in the future! Some of our favorite destinations include the Czech Republic, New Zealand, Cuba, and Australia.
Jackie and I are also avid fans of all Wisconsin sports, cheese, golf, grilling out, craft beer, reading, bonfires, and pontoon boat rides with friends. FYI, Millie is also an avid fan of cheese, bonfires, grilling out, pontoon rides with friends – and craft beer.
I look forward to helping you with your next car-buying experience, and to show you what the Burtness Experience is all about!

I am born and raised in Orfordville and I love our community! I invest a lot of my time into Orfordville because I believe in its ever-growing potential and the people in here.
It is a privilege to sit as the Orfordville Lions Club president, sit on our Orfordville Community June Days committee and work alongside many other groups here in town.
Likely if I’m seen running around town, my 9-year-old son Emerson is right alongside of me! Emerson and I both enjoy time outdoors, rock climbing, hiking, gardening, bike riding, all sports, and trying out new restaurants! If there is a community event, you can count on us being there!
I am very thrilled to now be a part of the Burtness team! I grew up going to the previous Burtness building alongside my parents and now I am here to go on your new car journey with you and your family!
