I started in the automobile business in 1967 as a service writer at a dealership in Washington D.C.. It has been a dream come true, to one day own my own successful family of dealerships, built upon the foundation which I value most, honesty, integrity and respect. It is a pure delight that I am able to live this dream with my family by my side.
When I am not at work
I always look forward to being on the water, whether for an hour or for the entire day. I love boating and fishing, both fresh and saltwater. Nothing else feels like being out on the open water. It is one of the few things that is as enjoyable by myself as it is with a group of friends or family aboard. On land, I enjoy golfing and playing tennis as well as spending time with my family and all of our dogs.
After graduating college, I was employed by Nissan USA. It was nice to come home to a place where I knew all of the employees by name and knew a bit about everyone too. Even though names and faces change over the years, there is no better feeling than knowing that you exist as a person and not just a number.
When I am not at work:Â Once the snow melts I just want to get outside! Whether it’s playing tennis, taking my pup Winni for a relaxing walk or lounging in the sun at the beach or the lake, I want to soak up every minute of it. I am an avid Patriots, Red Sox, and Celtics fan and try to take advantage of every opportunity to see a live game or watch them on TV.
What I like about working at PCN: Ireally enjoy the professional atmosphere and the way everyone works together as a team.
When I am not at work: I love spending time with my two boys, Alex and Ryan, and our dog Riley. Â When I am not enjoying the kids football, basketball, lacrosse, or soccer games, I love spending time at the beach or lake with the family, or taking the 4 wheelers out to find new trails to explore.
What I like about working at PCN:Â I really enjoy meeting new people, that’s why I love the work I do! I specialize in financing to help when a person has had a bump in the road and I can help get them a second chance to buy the car of their dreams.
When I am not at work: I am the youngest of 11 Children (why she stopped after me is still a mystery) and the very proud father of a BEAUTIFUL 12 year old daughter. I love the great outdoors with hobbies like hiking and fishing. I also enjoy going to the gym.
Brian recently returned to Port City Nissan after spending many years at our sister store, Amesbury Chevrolet. We are pleased to have him back on our team!

About Dana: Dana holds (and likely will for a long time) the record for the longest tenured employee at Port City Nissan with 17,712 days!!! Dana came to Port City when it was a Datsun dealer in 1973. Datsun became Nissan, we added Suzuki and Dana mastered them all. Over the decades he acquired an unmatched set of mechanical skills that he still uses to this day. Always preferring to “repair, not replace”, Dana would often take broken or failed parts and tear them apart to find out how they work and why they failed. Dana has provided an immeasurable wealth of knowledge and training to the dozens of technicians that have passed through the building during his nearly 49 years with Port City. Dana, we thank you for all you have done!
What is Dana Doing Now? Dana has always been committed to spending time with his family and friends. Retirement will provide more time for family, friends and some much deserved relaxation. Cars and motorcycles have always been an integral part of Dana’s life as well, now he has more time to ride his motorcycles and driving his 1955 Olds to car shows around New England.
Ray has been at Port City Nissan since 2007 and has served us in all 3 major departments, Sales, Service & Parts. His previous experience in the autobody business has been a tremendous asset to him and the dealership along the way.
