    Ross Metz

    New Vehicle Sales Manager

    Ross started with Mills in 2021 having returned to his Minnesota roots after spending some time working at an O’Reilly Auto Parts store while living in Rosenberg, Texas. Ross grew up in Swift Falls, just outside of Benson, Minnesota which he describes with a smile as “a very small town of about 40 people”. He attended the Benson High School and worked in retail and customer service for several years but has been working around cars his entire life, an interest he’s been more focused on in the past few years. “I’m really excited for the opportunity to better my knowledge about the automobile industry” he said about joining the Mills team. Ross currently lives in Willmar with his 4 year old black lab “Ruby”, and when he’s not working he enjoys being outdoors. “I like to hunt and fish and most importantly, I love to hang out with my family and friends” he said.
