Dave Brantmeier
Owner
I have been in the automotive industry for over 45 years. I got my start in 1972, washing cars at a dealership in Appleton, WI. That was also the same year I graduated from Hilbert High School. In 1974, I earned a degree in Accounting from Fox Valley Technical College. Upon graduating, I transitioned into the full-time role of Rental and Leasing Manager at the same dealership in Appleton. In 1980, I joined Tom Vande Hey as a partner in an independent used car dealership. We grew to have three locations in Little Chute, Menasha, and Appleton. After operating those dealerships for over 10 years, we entered the new car business in 1991 by purchasing the GM and Chrysler franchise in Chilton, WI. In 1998 we opened a new 16,000 square-foot collision center. In 2000, we acquired Central Garage of Potter, WI and added the Jeep, Dodge, and Ram franchises. I currently reside in Hilbert with my wife Debbie. We have two grown children, Justin and Krista, and two grandchildren. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time in northern Wisconsin and snowmobiling.

Justin Brantmeier
General Manager
I grew up in Hilbert, WI, and after graduating from Hilbert High School, moved to Milwaukee, where I spent 12 years. I earned a double major in Finance and Marketing from Marquette University and went on to work in wealth management, serve as finance director for a large import dealership, and later manage accounts for an automotive CRM company. My dealership experience began in 2006, and in 2011 I returned from Milwaukee to join the dealership full time. In 2013, I completed the seven-week Dealer Candidate Academy in Washington, D.C., and I’ve pursued additional professional training through NCM, NADA Digital Dealer, Zurich, American Financial, and JM&A. Today I live in Sherwood with my wife, Becki, and our three young children. Outside of work, I enjoy time in northern Wisconsin, boating, golfing, snowmobiling, woodworking, following Wisconsin sports, and reading.

I have been in automotive sales since 1987 and managing since 1992. I relocated to Hilbert, WI with my wife that I have been with for more than 7 years. I enjoy small town living. In fact, Hilbert is bigger than the town I relocated from. My interests include our dogs, music, trying new restaurants, cooking, collecting and pinball.

Skyller Smith
Sales Consultant
My name is Skyller Smith, and I’m a Sales Consultant at Vande Hey Brantmeier Chevorlet. I’m excited to be part of the team and, most importantly, to have the opportunity to meet and work with people from our community. I came to the automotive industry after spending several years in business operations. I have an MBA from the University of South Florida and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. My previous career gave me a lot of experience working with people, solving problems, and helping businesses grow, and I’m excited to bring those skills to the dealership. I believe buying a vehicle should be a comfortable, easy and straightforward experience, not something customers have to dread on all day. I take the time to listen to what people are looking for, answer their questions, and help them find a vehicle that genuinely fits their needs and wants. When I’m not at the dealership, I enjoy watching way too much baseball, staying active, spending time with my wife and two kids. I look forward to meeting you and helping you find the right vehicle!

Keith Kornely
CDJR Parts Manager
My name is Keith. After graduating high school, I proudly stepped up to serve my country by enlisting in the United States Marine Corps. Following my military service, I transitioned into civilian life and began working at First Chrysler in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, where I discovered a passion for the automotive world. Driven by a strong work ethic and a desire to explore different paths, I later took a break from automotive sales and service to transition into the transportation industry. After spending some time navigating that sector, my roots called me back, and I successfully returned to the automotive field. Never one to stop learning, I have consistently looked for ways to expand my skill set along the way. I successfully graduated from Correctional Officer School and completed specialized coursework in the travel industry. Above all my professional endeavors, my greatest pride is my family. I am a devoted husband, a proud father to two wonderful daughters, and a dedicated stepfather to my stepdaughter. Whether on the job or at home, I am focused on building a strong, versatile career and providing for the family that inspires me every day.
