Our Team

My name is Chris Degraw, I am the sales manager at Chatham Honda. I have been with the dealership since 2014 when I worked in sales and started my management position in 2017. Not long before I started at Chatham Honda in 2014, I managed a cell phone store. From 200-2008, I worked in the automotive industry in London ON. I am a proud winner of several Council of Sales Awards as both a salesperson and sales manager! One of my favorite things about working at Chatham Honda is looking back to all my past clients and how I was able to give them a positive and memorable experience. I really appreciate the amount of trust my clients have in me to help them make a big decision when purchasing a vehicle - and we always have fun along the way! I am glad to be a part of this big experience with them.

Outside of work, I enjoy listening to music, hanging out with my little pug, Brodie. I also enjoy  traveling and hitting the golf course with good friends! 

My name is Mike Dawson, and I am the Preowned Sales Manager. I have worked in the automotive industry for over 30 years. I previously worked with Chrysler, Kia and now Honda! I have always been intrigued by the wholesaling, retailing and production of motor vehicles. I am also obsessed with obtaining the best products at the lowest possible price, so I can give our customers the maximum value for their money! 

Outside of the dealership, I enjoy motorcycling, camping and of course, fast cars! 

My name is Ashley Van Grinsven, I have been in the car industry since 2015 and with Chatham Honda since 2019 and loving every minute of it. I thoroughly enjoy talking to our customers and connecting with people. I am always looking to have our customers enjoy every bit of their experience at the dealership. 

Outside of the dealership, I enjoy being outdoors, cooking and spending time with my family.

My name is Luu, I am an award-winning sales professional with over 15 years of experience in the automotive solutions industry. My in-depth knowledge of what my customers' needs are and what options are today allows me to exceed customer expectations and provide excellent service. I am skilled at developing the right action plan for each of my client's unique needs and am committed to helping them choose the best option. I am very passionate about developing and maintaining strong relationships centered on trust with each of my customers. 

Outside of work, I enjoy all types of food! 

My name is Kamal, I am a sales and leasing representative. I recently started my sales journey, but I have enjoyed it immensely since day 1. Prior to my sales career, I worked for 2 years in manufacturing Honda parts. Therefore, I am quite familiar with the incredible brand and its product detail. I graduated from Algonquin college with a diploma in marketing.  You can always catch me outside taking pictures and videos of our current inventory for our social media! What motivates me to do what I do at Chatham Honda is being able to serve my customers with world class customer service and seeing their big smiles on delivery day when they take home the vehicle of their dreams! 

In my free time, I love exploring nature, watching movies and spending quality time with family. 

Hey my name is Rob, I have built my life around my excitement for vehicles. I have been in automotive sales since 2017, but have been a vehicle enthusiast for much longer. I have always had a love and passion for anything with a motor. One of my favorite parts about what I do is being able to provide my customers with an unparalleled experience. I truly believe in caring for my customers as if they are my own family. I have been a resident of Chatham-Kent for over 30 years, and I am blessed that I have the opportunity to give back to my community by helping locals select happiness. Outside of work I enjoy riding loud motorcycles, working on my classic pick up truck, lifting weights and most importantly; chasing around my two year old son, Kade. Stop by for a coffee and let's chat cars!
