Meet Our Staff

"I have worked for 10+ years in food service. The past 5 have been in upper management, assistant and store manager positions. I came to car sales trying to see if there was another career opportunity I could explore. I just plan on bringing all of the service skills I have honed over the years to the sales floor and give each person the best opportunity I can. I moved to New York to be closer to my family, I grew up in Oklahoma where I earned a degree in Psychology and a minor in Spanish. I like movies and TV and I LOVE food, especially when friends are involved in any of those! I look forward to consulting you on your next vehicle purchase."

It's never too late for now!"

My wife, three daughters and I have lived in the Hudson Valley for over 20 years, and we love this area very much. I am excited to bring my passion for cars and customer service to Romeo Kia, and am committed to giving you the best customer experience you can get when purchasing or leasing your next car. I would love to help you, so please stop in to say hi, and to look at the wonderful vehicles and deals we offer at Romeo Kia."

“I am from Highland, I love the outdoors, I spend much of my time hiking, swimming and barbequing. I was a diesel mechanic in the U.S. Army and I am very family oriented. Romeo Kia is very family oriented and I hope to make you feel like part of our family.”

"I've been in the car business for 9 years with 8 of those years as a Sales Manager. I am a single dad raising three boys, I love to coach youth baseball and won a district title coaching 9-10 year old Little League All Stars in Dutchess county. Before I got into the car business I was a retail store manager for over 25 years. I was born and raised in Poughkeepsie. I love setting goals and over achieving the results of those goals. I pride myself on my customer service ability and will give every customer that I come in contact with exceptional service and will follow up on any promise I make."

“Hello! Iíve been in the car business for 2 years and with Romeo Kia the entire time. I worked for New York State Department of Corrections for the majority of those 2 years and 4 years prior. I’ve always been a car enthusiast and very much enjoy selling cars. I purchased my first home last year in Accord NY with my beautiful fiancé. Even thought my days off are Friday and Sunday, I like to come in most Fridays. When I do get free time I enjoy hiking, swimming and playing golf. If you’re looking for an exceptional car buying experience that is no pressure and informative, I am your guy.”

"Hello, friends, I am Joe Maz. Born in the land of the Rising Sun, raised on the beaches of Long Island, lived in the dry air of Arizona and now enjoying the beautiful seasons of the Hudson Valley. I've been a happy part of the Romeo Kia team since early 2015 and truly enjoy it here. I have never sold cars before and I can honestly say if I had started at another dealership, I would NOT be selling cars today. The Romeo's treat us very well and our customers even better. Iíve been trained in professionalism and courtesy and hope to convey that through the sales process. I have been on the other side of the desk plenty of times and my car buying experiences have been disappointing to say the least. My goal is to make sure you get a different and completely satisfying experience here at Romeo Kia. You deserve to be treated better, so when you're ready come visit me and let's find something that will put new keys in you hand and a smile on your face. Thanks for reading this. Much gratitude. Rock on."
