I grew up in Kennebunk, Maine. While in high school in 1983, I took a test that was supposed to determine my career aptitude. Interestingly, the test suggested that I would excel in either car sales or air traffic control. At the time, I was skeptical about those results. Nonetheless, I proceeded to attend UMO and USM. As it turns out, the test was surprisingly accurate. Since 1988, I have been selling cars in the Portland to Wiscasset area. I briefly took a hiatus from sales to serve in the US Army from 1990 to 1996, stationed in various locations such as Fairbanks, AK, and Colorado Springs, Colorado.

My name is Caylen Brough. I was born and raised in Maine. I have worked in the customer service industry since I was in high school, and find that my outgoing personality and ability to relate to anyone really propelled me to work with people in my professional career. I worked in retail management for 15+ years, then at a veterinary hospital for a year, and decided I wanted something different. My father and brother were both technicians over the decades, and so I applied to Goodwin's Volvo as a Service Advisor.

It has been nearly 5 years, and I enjoy every minute of it. The relationships built with my co-workers and customers over the years have been extremely rewarding. 

I have been married to my husband for nearly 10 years and we have two happy, rambunctious boys that keep us busy in our "down" time. We enjoy hiking, ice cream dates, and being outside as much as possible.

My name is Tom Ericson. I was born in Corpus Christi, Texas and moved to Brunswick, Maine at a young age when my father was transferred with the Navy as an aviator, which gave me the flying bug. I graduated from Brunswick High School in 1987 and went into the automotive industry first with the local Chrysler Dealer in Brunswick, cleaning cars. I became an automotive technician while there, and after about 13 years, I started working for another local dealer as a technician. I spent 21 years there as a technician, service advisor, warranty administrator, and service manager before coming to Goodwin Volvo about 3 years ago. I very much enjoy being part of the Goodwin family. I enjoy hiking with my dog Ben and my girlfriend, checking out all the great breweries in Maine, and flying up the coast to take in all the sights Maine has from the skies.
