I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Raptor Automotive. Every day, we work as a team to provide you with the best experience possible. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you. 

I am passionate about my job because I love being able to use my experience to guide people in making an informed decision about an important purchase. I know that purchasing a vehicle can sometimes be a challenging process, so I enjoy having the opportunity to make that process easier for everyone, whether it’s their first car, their starting-a-family car, or their dream car.  When I'm not helping customers, I'm helping my fiancé, Michele, with our growing family of 3 girls and 6 boys. I am originally from Ohio, but I’m looking forward to putting down roots and raising my kids in Fort Wayne.    

Chris Diercks - Title & Billing Clerk

I’ve been a title clerk for 27 years because I love what I do! While I was born and raised in Lima, Ohio, I drove back and forth for years from Fort Wayne to be a title clerk at a local auction, which is how I met my husband, Kevin, of 19 years. We have a beautiful daughter, Sarah(22), who is studying to become a nurse. Five years after I moved to Fort Wayne, my sister’s family relocated as well. When I’m not at work, my favorite thing is spending time with my family. In the summertime, we love taking in the sunshine at our home pool. :) 

Matt Rodriguez - Inventory Manager

As the Inventory Manager at Raptor Automotive, I work hard to ensure that all of our vehicles go through a rigorous preparation process before arriving on the lot. I pride myself on my attention to detail and providing a turn-key vehicle for our customers.

My love of cars is definitely genetic. I grew up with a big family of old-car-lovers on my grandparents’ farm in Ohio, and both my grandmother and my great uncle worked at GM. I started really tinkering with cars when I bought my firsts, a 1971 Chevy Nova and a 1985 K5 Blazer. These days, me, my wife Elizabeth of 10 years, and our 3 kids, Grayson(8), Elena(9), and Dean(15), enjoying camping and just being in nature every chance we get!

John Conklin - Sales Consultant

I started in the car business by chance, but I’m glad life brought this opportunity to me, because I absolutely love selling cars to customers who look to me for guidance in finding the perfect vehicle. My approach to finding your next car is listening to your needs and wants, and then working hard to find a vehicle in your budget. I’m a no-pressure salesperson, and my goal is to make the process convenient for you.

When I’m not with my Raptor Family, my 3 beautiful kiddos, Colin-Jay(3), Jace(5), & Rylee(8) are my life. Together, we love spending time outdoors, and especially enjoy fishing during the Indiana summers.

Kalen Moorman - Sales Consultant

I decided to get into the car business because I’ve always seen myself as as a people person, someone who caters to others’ needs, and that’s exactly what I do for my customers. I want to get you into a vehicle that you’re comfortable with and excited about!

I’m a huge sports fanatic. I played football in high school and college. These days, I enjoy just watching football and basketball, and when I get the chance, playing a game of pick-up with friends. 

Rob Saylor - Sales Consultant

While I may be fairly new in the business, I love my job as a salesman. Specifically, I l love that I am always being challenged and constantly learning something new. An environment where I’m meeting new people and learning new things is where I thrive. I understand that finding the right vehicle is a process that involves really getting to know customers’ needs, and I strive to make the process as smooth and quick as possible.

A Fort Wayne native and the youngest of 3 brothers, I love hunting, fishing, and practically any and all sports. But these days, time with my wife Devin, and my two girls, Kinley(5) & Baylee(20 months) takes priority.
