Meet Our Team

Over the last 25 years I've meet a lot of you. Now that I'm back in Plattsburgh I'd love the chance to see you again, as well as meet your friends & family. The car business has done amazing things for my wife & I as well as our three daughter's. My team and I look forward to going above & beyond when it comes to serving you & your family!

I have been a Sales Manager at Bailey Ford for over thirteen years.  I grew up nearby in the Ellenburg area spending a good part of my youth working in and enjoying the Ford business.  My entire career has been devoted to serving Ford Motor Company vehicle owners from my early years cleaning and prepping  new & pre owned cars onto several years as a Service Advisor, Parts Clerk, Warranty Administrator and then to Sales as a Sales & Leasing Associate and Sales Management.  I have been Master Certified in Service and now Sales with Ford Motor Company for many years. I am a multiple year recipient of Ford's Employee Excellence Award.  When I am not enjoying my career serving the Ford Community, I typically can be found playing with my Classic Mercury Cougar, 1955 Thunderbird or my new Bronco, organizing a local Ford Owners Enthusiast Group or spending time with my family who mostly reside locally in the Ellenburg area.  I invite everyone who has known me as one of the local "Ford Guys" for many years and those I haven't had the privilege to meet yet to stop by and see our new facility and allow us to show you why we are the fastest growing Ford Store in Northern New York.  Please feel free to call or email me.

I started out working for Plattsburgh Ford in August of 2014. This was my first time working in the automotive industry and wasn't quite sure what to expect. During my four and a half years working for Plattsburgh Ford I obtained Ford Master Certified Sales Consultant Certification, multiple time Ford Sales Employee Excellence, as well as developed relationships with many customers that have continued to do business with me to this day.

In March of 2019 we went through a change here at this location with the arrival of Bailey Ford. This ended up being an exciting time with increased inventory, new direction, and a very customer service-oriented environment. I am thankful that Bailey Ford took a chance on me and vice-versa. Neither of us knew much about the other and so far, it has been quite the positive experience over the last two and a half years that I can only hope to continue for many years to come.

In July of this year, I took my automotive sales career one step further and became a sales manager with Bailey Ford. I can assure my customers that my attention to their individual needs hasn't changed a bit and I will be able to provide the same dedicated service to your vehicle purchase needs that you have grown accustomed to over the last seven years.

I currently live in Plattsburgh with my wife Nicole and our two sons Carter and Brody who are my pride and joy that I would do anything in for.

In my free time during the summer, which if you ask my wife is few and far between, I coach football on the Plattsburgh North Stars as the team's defensive coordinator. I have been involved with the North Stars since 2005 as both a player and coach and have been a part of both EFL Championship teams as well as the 2015 USA Bowl National Championship team that won in Daytona Beach, FL.

After a few years in banking, I decided to go back to the retail automotive industry that I had previously spent over a decade in.  I liked the vision and direction that Andrew and Steve Bailey have for their company.  I wanted to be a part of it.  I started as a Sales Manager with Bailey Ford in 2019.  Soon after, I had the opportunity to fulfill my ultimate goal as Bailey Ford of Plattsburgh's Finance Manager in the fall of 2019!   I now help support a strong and growing sales team.  I get to meet nearly every customer that we earn.  I finalize all their deal documents and inform them of cost effective opportunities that they can take advantage of immediately.  I look forward to coming to work every single day.  I truly love what I do and I feel like this was the role, and the company, I was meant for.  My wife and our two young children would agree!

Since May of 2019 I've been lucky enough to be part of this great Sales team we have here at Bailey Ford. Excellent customer service has always been the foundation of our business and when you arrive here you will notice that. Satisfied customers are expected, but I hold myself to a higher standard of making a customer for life as well as a trusted friend who you feel comfortable sending your friends & family to see. My greatest joy is being mother of three amazing children as well as a grand mother to two beautiful granddaughters. I look forward to getting to know you 

Hi there! I'm new to the Bailey Ford family and I can already tell it is one of the best decisions I have made for myself. Although I don't have an automotive history, I do have a strong history in customer service and helping others. I've never felt more welcome and I can't wait to share that with everyone who comes here to Bailey Ford in Plattsburgh.

Since 2014, I've been involved in the automotive industry. I opened up my own detailing service that I've kept running for the past 3 years. Living in the North Country my entire life, I know how dirty a vehicle can get! Something I really enjoy doing. Living in Upstate NY I've always enjoyed doing anything outdoors. Boating, Fishing, Hiking, Camping...I love the idea of being outside as much as I can. I took my detailing further and got hired at a local dealership right here in Plattsburgh. Not only did I clean cars that were sold and going home to new customers, I also got to watch the sales process again, from start to finish. Working with the sales people and learning different tips that would help me when I was ready to take that next step into sales. As I took the Sales position here at Bailey Ford, I'm eager to learn about all that Ford has to offer in their great selection of vehicles along with working with such a great group of people! I look forward to being the best salesman to the new clientele I'll soon be working with!! Give me a shout and I'll do my absolute best to serve your vehicle needs!

Hi! My name is Chris Strack; I've been lucky to call Bailey Ford of Plattsburgh my home since November of 2021. In June of 2022 I transitioned to my new position of Service Manager, and look forward to making sure your vehicle is serviced at it's highest possible standards. I've spent my entire life in the North Country so when you can't find me here, I'm probably camping, hiking, snowmobiling or riding side by sides with my wife Holly. The reason I first wanted to join Bailey Ford was the excellent reputation they've had, and am honored to keep that tradition going strong.
