Austin Kremers has proven himself a tremendous asset on the executive management team here at driversselect which recently became the largest single point automotive dealership in North Texas and one of the fastest growing in the US. He is a knowledgeable, articulate, highly intelligent self starter who in a short amount of time has earned the respect and admiration of his business operations and accounting teams, driven costs down and increased efficiencies. And not only of his own teams but also throughout the sales, reconditioning and purchasing functions of the business. He maintains and even keel in high pressure situations and embodies a can do attitude. I recommend him highly..

Austin and I started our careers together at KPMG’s Dallas office in the audit practice. While at KPMG, Austin proved himself to be an exemplary financial professional and valued colleague. Through his strong work ethic, effective communication skills and natural leadership abilities, Austin stood out from the crowd as an effective leader and valuable asset to the firm.
