Glenn Browning Glenn Browning

FOUNDER

Glenn left his career as an educator and school principal to start a Ford dealership in Bradford in 1946. Ford Motor Company encouraged him to move the franchise to Princeton, which he did in 1964. He served as president of the Illinois New Car Dealers Assoc. along with many other roles at Ford and in the community. He was honored for his contributions to the local area by serving as the Homestead Parade Grand Marshal in 2004.

He retired in the 1980's but still visits the showroom often. He lives in Princeton and drives a Lincoln Town Car.

Chuck Miller Chuck Miller
Service Director 

I grew up in Hooppole, IL and continue to reside there.  I have been employed at Browning for over 12 years.

Certified Service Manager with both Ford and Chrysler.

My wife and I are the proud parents of 3 daughters, ages 13, 8 and 7. They keep us busy and motivated.

I'd say that everything Browning is selling currently is awesome! Can't beat the Mustang, but for a family I would tone it down and say the new Explorer is tops.

What do I do in my spare time? What spare time? I volunteer much of my time as a coach for girls basketball and softball Annawan area Youth teams. I am very involved in my church and community. During the school year I drive bus for Annawan School's sporting activities.

Why should people come to Browning? Great people! Great product! Even better Service!

My wife Cindy and I have one son, Cody, 4 cats and 1 dog.

I was born and raised in Princeton, a graduate of Princeton high school. I've been active in many community projects, most recently the finance chair with the "board parents" skate park committee.

I started with Browning Ford in March of 1982. I am Ford master certified and a multiple winner of Ford's 300/500 Legends and Leaders recognition program.

Naming my favorite Ford product is like a father of six naming his favorite child - I love them all!!

I am from the Sheffield/Buda area. Been with Browning for 8 years. Certified e2 Employee Excellence Level 3.

I have been married for 30 years. Have twin daughters, Fallon and Amanda, daughter Carly and two grandkids 2 and 3 years old.

I'd say of what Browning is selling currently, the Ecoboost V-6 trucks S-Crew, the Taurus, Fusion, Focus and Explorer are best.

In my spare time, anybody who knows me knows I like to fish! And of course, spend time with my grandkids and family.

Come to Browning to see our great selection of cars, SUV's and trucks!

I'm from here in Princeton and have been with Browning since last summer.  I'd say the new Ford Super Duties and F-150's are my favorites.  You'll want to come to Browning because we have great people here to help you. joe@browningdealerships.com

Kathy Smith Kathy Smith
Administration
I grew up in Princeton and graduated from PHS. My husband Mike and I have two daughters, Breanna, 20 and Mariah, 15.  What little bit of spare time I do have, I enjoy spending with my family.
I have worked at Browning Ford and Chrysler for 13 years. My pick from what Browning has to offer would be the Lincoln MKX or MKZ.  People should come to Browning because of our friendly and professional staff and great deals.

Office Assistant 
I am from Princeton and my husband Gary is from Dixon.  Because of my husband's job as a Manufacturing Engineer we have lived in Quebec, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Iowa.  We like to take day trips to find and explore new shops and restaurants.
I have worked at Browning since June of 2009 and when asked what Browning product is the best I'd have to say there are several I like, but it would be difficult to just pick one.  You should come on out to see for yourself what your "Hometown" dealership has to offer!

Ron Neff Ron Neff

Parts Sales
I am from Princeton and have two daughters, Vanessa and Sydney who are my pride and joy.  I play competitive bags, and love spending time with my daughters when I'm not working.
I have been with Browning for almost 2 years, am a Level 2 Chrysler Tech and have begun my Ford and Chrysler parts certifications.  Personally, I would buy a Chrysler 300 C if I could pick just one, but we have many fine cars, trucks and vans to choose from.  People come to Browning because of me!  Seriously though, we have good poeple, doing great things here at Browning, and if you haven't been in for awhile, you should definitely come see us!!


JT Dant JT Dant
Service Writer

I am from Princeton and many know my father, Terry, from Dant's Harley Davidson.  He's now retired from that and farms full-time and my mother, Linda, works full-time at the Animal Care Clinic.  I bowl League multiple nights and bowl multiple tournaments. 
I earned my 2 year Automotive Certificate from IVCC and in the 3 1/2 years that I've been with Browning have completed multiple online Ford and Chrysler Service Advisor classes.
I think the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ram 1500 and the Chrysler 300 are some of the best Browning has to offer.  People should come to Browning to receive our excellent, professional service. jt@browningdealerships.com

Detail Specialist
I grew up in Manlius. I now live in Princeton with my wife Janice. We have one son and daughter-in-law. Michael and Rebecca live in Indiana. I was detailing cars for Glen Browning when I was 16 years old! So I have many years of experience detailing cars. The best part of my job is the end result; the reconditioned new look.

Jason Henderliter Jason Henderliter
Detail Assistant
I was born and raised in Princeton.  My wife Heather is studying Business Technology, my son Sebastian is a Freshman at PHS and my daughter Gabrielle attends fourth grade at Reagan Middle School.  I love to play guitar and spending time with my family. 
In the 7 years that I have been with Browning, I have had on the job training from our Detail Department Manager who has 30 plus years of experience.
Besides the Mustang, of course, the Ford Focus is my favorite car at the moment.  The F-150 with Ecoboost is my favorite truck, though I do like the Rambox available on the Ram trucks.  And the Ford Edge is the best SUV in my opinion.  People should come to Browning to see the new line of vehicles:  Ford Fiesta, Ford Explorer, Ford Edge, F-150 Ecoboost (at the Ford store), and (on the Chrysler end) the new Chrysler 200's and 300's, and of course, the Ram with the new Rambox.
