Meet the Lake Norman Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Team

Jack is originally from Florida and moved to the Lake Norman area when he and his wife Robin purchased the dealership in 2003. Together they have three children and seven grandchildren, as well as seven dogs in two locations--Lake Norman and Dallas, Texas. Jack is 110% a New York Yankees fan! In 2018 Jack Salzman was named TIME Dealer of the Year, which is a national award from Ally Financial and TIME Magazine to honor dealers who show an equal commitment to customer satisfaction, community philanthropy and sales success.

The Lake Norman CJDR mascot, Mickey, is our ambassador to the community and helps us bring attention to homeless animals in our area. She began life on the streets of Cornelius as a homeless cat and spent her time eating at McDonald's, which is where her name originated. Through Lake Norman Lucky Cat, a local program that uses T-N-R (Trap/Neuter/Return) to humanely manage feral cats, she was vetted and spayed, then returned to her home turf at the dealership.

As Mickey became more accustomed to the staff and customers, she has gradually made herself at home and happily taken on her responsibilities as dealership mascot, becoming an integral part of the Lake Norman family!

Mickey is present for all day-to-day operations at the dealership and inspects all departments daily, in between frequent naps and playing with her favorite feather toy. She can still be a little bit feisty, so if you don't speak "cat", let her guide you regarding petting her.

Qwame is from King's Mountain and his interests include basketball and cars. When he's not at the dealership, he loves spending time with family and friends.

Gary is the Director of Customer Experience/Operations.
