Meet Our Team

Nicole has been a part of the Gene Butman Ford family for 20 years. She is a Belleville native, loves photography, and has one furbaby named Miller. Her favorite thing to do in her free time is cruising the trails of Northern Michigan with her husband in their RZR!

Mike recently retired after working with us for 40 years. He is still available on an appointment-only basis.

Jarrett has been part of the Gene Butman team since 2016. In his free time you can find him coaching cross country at Lincoln High School, traveling to the Keweenaw Peninsula, or going on nature walks with his mighty mini Dachshund - Nebula!

Ben joined the team at Gene Butman Ford in early 2025 after working in the auto body repair industry for 31 years. He is a self proclaimed "workaholic" who is passionate about the industry and providing excellent customer service. He has 3 sons and spends his free time building 80's freestyle bmx bikes and lego sets!

Dominic has been a part of the Gene Butman Ford team for 7 years now! He likes to spend his free time traveling and staying active. One of his greatest achievements though, is that he can make minute rice in 30 seconds!

Robert has worked in collision repair for 35 years! Outside of work he enjoys spending time with his wife, kids and grandkids, as well as camping and off-roading.

Jeff has been in the automotive industry for 13 years now, and a part of the Gene Butman team for 10 of those years! In his spare time, you can find him enjoying a good cup of coffee, playing guitar, and hanging out with his two cats.

Max was with us for 9 years before passing on June 21st, 2019. He was a mouse hunter and companion. The quickest way to his heart was with turkey and cheddar Fancy Feast!
