Leanne McPherson

Leanne McPherson

Body Shop Administration

Leanne McPherson is the organizational heartbeat of our Body Shop and the person who somehow manages to keep everything — and everyone — moving in the right direction. As our Body Shop Administrative Assistant, Leanne helps coordinate with insurance companies, order parts, follow up with customers, and keep the repair process running as smoothly as possible. But around the shop, Leanne is known for much more than paperwork and phone calls. She’s also the unofficial “Body Shop Mom,” which means there’s a very good chance she has snacks, cookies, candy, or some sort of emergency comfort food available at any given moment. Honestly, morale might drop 30% if her snack supply ever disappeared. Originally from Somerville, Leanne brings enthusiasm, positivity, and genuine care to the workplace every day. Customers appreciate how easy she is to talk to and how much effort she puts into helping them through what can often be a stressful repair process. Coworkers appreciate her because she’s always willing to help, always upbeat, and somehow keeps everyone fed in the middle of busy days. Whether she’s handling insurance details, tracking down parts, checking in with customers, or making sure nobody skips lunch, LeAnne helps create the kind of welcoming environment people genuinely enjoy being around. At the end of the day, Leanne is the kind of person who makes customers feel comfortable and coworkers feel like family — and that’s a pretty special combination.

Matt Howell

Matt Howell

General Manager

Matt has been with the Brenham Chrysler Jeep Dodge family for 15 years now. With years of experience in Sales, Service, Parts and Body Shop, Matt brings well rounded experience to the team. His family works and goes to school here in Brenham and if he's not at the store, you can likely find him at one of the school sporting events or possibly searching through the woods at Brenham Golf Club for one of the shots he's shanked left.

Crystal Nowicki

Crystal Nowicki

Internet Sales Mgr

If you’ve ever submitted a lead on our website and got a lightning-fast response that was friendly, helpful, and maybe just a little too efficient—it was probably Crystal. As our Internet Sales Manager, she’s the digital gatekeeper of Brenham Chrysler Jeep Dodge, making sure no customer gets left unread. A Brenham native with a background in law enforcement, Crystal’s the perfect mix of Southern hospitality and “don’t test me.” She’s been with the dealership for years, working her way up from the sales floor to the command center of our online operation. She knows our inventory better than most people know their Netflix passwords. Crystal is all about making the car-buying process smooth, straightforward, and maybe even fun (yes, really). Whether you’re sending an email at 9 p.m. or shopping from your couch in fuzzy socks, Crystal’s ready with the answers, the deals, and the occasional witty GIF. Off the clock, she’s the one making the team laugh, organizing chaos, and reminding us all that she ran a tight ship before it was cool.

Billy Gonsoulin

Billy Gonsoulin

Sales Manager

Billy Gonsoulin is our Sales Manager and one of the most recognizable personalities in the dealership. With decades of experience in the car business, Billy has seen just about everything the automotive world can throw at a person — and probably has a story about it too. Known for his leadership, sense of humor, and ability to connect with just about anyone, Billy helps keep the sales department running smoothly while making the showroom a much more entertaining place to work. Customers appreciate his experience and honesty, while coworkers appreciate the daily comedy routine that apparently comes included free of charge. Billy is also a former 2 handicap golfer, which he modestly tries not to mention every opportunity he gets… although somehow the topic still comes up regularly. He still approaches golf with the confidence of a touring professional and the occasional frustration of someone who knows exactly how good he used to be. When he’s not helping customers or managing the sales team, Billy can usually be found telling jokes, trading playful insults with coworkers, or delivering one-liners with the timing of someone who genuinely believes he missed his calling in standup comedy. Fortunately for us, he stayed in the car business. What makes Billy especially fun to be around is that he can take a joke just as well as he gives one. His personality, experience, and easygoing attitude help create the kind of welcoming atmosphere customers remember long after they leave the dealership. If you hear laughter coming from the sales tower, there’s a pretty strong chance Billy is in the middle of it.

Chris Cook

Chris Cook

Sales Professional

Chris has been a key part of the Sales team at Brenham Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram for several years now, and he's consistently praised for his helpful, attentive approach. He’s the guy who greets you right when you walk in, takes the time to explain everything, and makes sure you're comfortable with your decision—just like one customer said, “Chris Cook was such a wonderful helpful salesman. He explained everything we needed to know about our new Jeep… I’ve always been happy with everything!” Whether you're browsing, trading, or buying, Chris’s friendly attitude, industry knowledge, and commitment to transparency ensure you’re in good hands—and smiling by the time you drive off.

Jason Chan

Jason Chan

Sales Professional

Born and raised in Brenham, Jason Chan is about as local as Blue Bell and Friday night lights. A proud Brenham High School athlete, Jason spent his days playing football and soccer — which explains both his teamwork skills and his ability to dodge difficult questions from coworkers. Before joining the sales team, Jason worked in our service department turning wrenches and fixing vehicles. Now he’s made the jump to sales, where he still knows more about how vehicles actually work than most people on the lot — he just gets to do it in clean clothes now. Jason is known around the dealership for being affable, easygoing, and friendly to just about everyone he meets. Whether you want to talk horsepower, financing, football, or why Buffalo Wild Wings is somehow always the answer for dinner, Jason’s your guy. His music playlist is just as unpredictable as Texas weather — bouncing between hard rock, country, and hip hop depending on the day and probably the traffic on Highway 290. Customers appreciate Jason because he’s approachable, knowledgeable, and never high-pressure. He’s basically the kind of guy you’d want helping you buy a vehicle… or backing you up in a pickup basketball game after lunch.

Zachary Brechtel

Zachary Brechtel

Sales Professional

Zach Brechtel may be relatively new to the car business, but he's no stranger to a challenge. Before joining the team at Brenham Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Zach served in the United States Marine Corps, where he learned discipline, dedication, and probably how to function on very little sleep. When he's not helping customers find their next vehicle, Zach enjoys working on his own Jeep, occasionally going for a run (emphasis on *occasionally*), and reminding people that he once climbed Mount Fuji. That's right, Zach made it all the way to the summit of Japan's most famous mountain—an accomplishment that sounds even more impressive when you realize he's not exactly an enthusiastic runner. From serving his country to conquering mountains to figuring out why his Jeep is making that noise, Zach brings determination, a great attitude, and a sense of humor to everything he does. Stop by and meet Zach. He'll help you find the perfect ride, and if you ask nicely, he might even tell you about Mount Fuji. Just don't ask him to run up it again!

Camden Johnson

Camden Johnson

Sales Professional

Cam Johnson is proof that you can be smart, athletic, and still make questionable decisions on the golf course! Currently a student at Blinn College, Cam is working toward a degree in kinesiology with plans to eventually become a coach. And judging by his high school accomplishments, he's got a pretty good head start. Cam earned a spot on the A Honor Roll and was named a First Team pitcher, proving he knows how to throw strikes both in the classroom and on the baseball diamond. When he's not studying or helping customers find their next vehicle at Brenham Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Cam enjoys golf, pickleball, and running... although that last one is apparently more of an occasional suggestion than a serious commitment. With his competitive spirit, strong work ethic, and easygoing personality, Cam brings plenty of energy to our sales team. Whether he's helping you find the perfect vehicle or working on his golf swing, he's always aiming for a win. Stop by and meet Cam! He'll help you knock your next vehicle purchase out of the park. Just don't ask him to run the bases afterward!

Service Staff

Karen Sysak

Karen Sysak

Service Advisor

Karen Sysak is one of those familiar faces that makes Brenham Chrysler Jeep Dodge feel like home. A seasoned service advisor with years of experience, Karen originally worked at the dealership until 2012 before taking a detour into the world of real estate. After helping people buy houses for a while, she eventually found her way back home to the automotive world in 2025 — because apparently she missed answering questions about warning lights and oil changes. Karen is known for being incredibly knowledgeable about vehicles, easy to talk to, and one of the best communicators around. Whether you’re dealing with routine maintenance or an unexpected repair, she has a way of making the process feel simple, stress-free, and maybe even enjoyable… which is saying a lot when your vehicle is making “that noise.” Outside the dealership, Karen spends much of her time traveling across the United States supporting her daughter’s competitive cheer career. Between airports, hotels, competitions, and long weekends on the road, Karen has probably become just as skilled at packing snack bags and navigating convention centers as she is at scheduling service appointments. Customers appreciate Karen because she treats people like neighbors instead of numbers — with honesty, patience, and a great sense of humor. We’re pretty sure half her customers leave the service drive feeling like they just caught up with an old friend.

David Gates

David Gates

Service Director

David Gates is our Service Director, but don’t expect to find him sitting behind a desk all day pushing paperwork. More often than not, David is out in the shop helping technicians diagnose problems, assisting with repairs, and keeping the department running efficiently. Before joining the Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram world, David was a World Class GM technician, and his years of hands-on experience make him an invaluable resource for both customers and technicians alike. He’s direct, easy to get along with, and believes in fixing vehicles the right way the first time. When David isn’t running the service department, he’s usually working cows — which may explain where his stubborn streak comes from. He’s also passionate about Texas Longhorns and brings that same hardworking mentality into everything he does. David leads by example, runs a tight ship, and has earned the respect of both customers and coworkers through his knowledge, work ethic, and straightforward approach.

Darrell Lake

Darrell Lake

Service Advisor

Darrell Lake brings a unique combination of football toughness, outdoor adventure, and questionable geographical judgment to the service department at Brenham Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. A former linebacker for the University of Oklahoma Sooners, Darrell knows a thing or two about hard hits, hard work, and teamwork. He's also convinced that the Oklahoma Sooners are the only professional football team worth watching. Yes, we realize Oklahoma is technically a college team, but Darrell isn't interested in discussing technicalities. Especially with Aggie fans. Living and working in the heart of Aggie Land while proudly supporting the Sooners takes courage, stubbornness, or possibly a few too many hits to the helmet. When he's not helping customers tackle their automotive service needs or explaining why Oklahoma football is superior to just about everything, Darrell can usually be found outdoors. He's an avid fisherman who loves chasing redfish in Matagorda Bay, where the fish are plentiful and nobody asks him to say "Gig 'em." Darrell is also an enthusiastic hiker, with Big Bend National Park ranking as his favorite adventure. Apparently, after spending his college years chasing running backs, he now enjoys walking miles through the wilderness voluntarily. Go figure. Whether he's helping you navigate a service appointment, recommending a great fishing spot, or explaining why this is finally Oklahoma's year, Darrell brings experience, personality, and a great sense of humor to our team. Stop by and say hello to Darrell! He'll take great care of you and your vehicle. Just remember, if you're wearing an Aggie shirt, your service appointment might come with a little friendly trash talk. Boomer Sooner... unfortunately!
