Rodney Bridgemohan enjoys working as a parts associate because he meets people from all walks of life and has the opportunity to interact with them on a personal level.

Even after 10 years at Classic Honda, Rodney is excited to go into work because he never knows what to expect. Rodney started working at the dealership in June 2010 when his wife’s cousin who worked there referred him. He started out as a parts driver, and 4 months later, he moved up to his current position as parts associate.

Before starting out in the automotive industry, Rodney was a lab technician at Quest Diagnostics. At that time, he mostly interacted with other technicians, testing samples in a lab. This job served him well enough at the time, but he wanted more personal interaction. In his parts associate role at Classic Honda, he talks to different people from all walks of life, and he experiences the best of all worlds.

During his early life, Rodney’s family made a few major moves. Rodney was born in Trinidad, and in 1989, his parents moved to New York. In 2002, they decided to retire to Florida, where Rodney has lived ever since. Of everything Rodney has accomplished in life, he is proudest of starting his own family and raising a son.

In his spare time, Rodney enjoys photography and reading. His favorite subjects to read about are self-motivation and science fiction. Lately, Rodney has kept himself busy outside of work by going back to school, taking courses here and there to figure out what to pursue next. Getting an education is the next big goal he is looking to accomplish. While working on achieving this goal, he is also looking to buy a house.

For anyone looking to start a career in the automotive industry, Rodney says the most important thing is to have a love for it. Rodney did not grow up loving cars and knowing about them, but he has learned to love cars while working at Classic Honda. This career path has served him well, and he’s excited to see where it takes him next.
