First Landing Auto Care Staff

Mark Anderton

Mark Anderton is the owner, but only because his oldest son Ross told him it was on the market. ( Mark thought he’d be able to work on his many auto hobby projects in the spacious bays of the building… yeah, right! )After the station became a NAPA Autocare center, Mark became the President of the NAPA Autocare Business Development Group.
Ross Anderton

Ross Anderton came to work at the station as the Service Manager shortly after Mark purchased it. He manages the day-to-day operation of the shop and makes sure that your car gets serviced properly and on time. Ross is ASE Certified and is also a State Inspector.

 Carole Anderton

Carole Anderton, Ross’s wife, also came to work part-time and is now the Business Manager, responsible for keeping the books, paying bills and writing paychecks. She and Ross do all of this while managing the busy lives of their five kids.
Jason Bowman

We were fortunate to hire Jason Bowman as a technician within a few days of buying the station. Jason came to us with an Associates Degree in automotive technology and has since earned the ASE Master Technican certification and State Inspector certification. Jason’s favorite holiday is Halloween. He and his Dad John dress up in elaborate costumes made by hand by his mother Angela. Angela is also a master at baking and has made us a lot of delicious cakes that are beautifully decorated.

Tom Connolly
Tom Connolly was working at Bayside Shell when they closed up and we were lucky to bring him aboard. Tom’s primary responsibility is state inspections, but he is an ASE certified technician as well. He hails from Vermont and there is nothing he likes better than a good ol’ Tidewater ninety-degree ninety-percent humidity workday.
Matt Anderton

Mark’s younger son, Matt does web development out in Salt Lake City and created this website and other freelancing projects under AEI DataWorks.

Got web? Matt can help you share your products and ideas with the world! Check out his personal finance sites Expensology and Upcoming Bills!
