Anyone that has worked at Theodore Robins Ford or to our service department would quickly agree that Juan is a worthy recipient of “Employee of the Month”. He has been employed here for 8 years, moving up to lead valet on the service drive. It was his suggestion to replace the cylinders in lockboxes rather than simply replacing them and, more recently, he has been given the responsibility to monitor the chemicals and rags, once again aiding in cost saving for the company. He is always conscientious and concerned about the efficiency of the company, as well as our customers having a pleasant experience.

Juan moved to Santa Ana from Tijuana when he was 17 years old. He often told his mother that although he was born in Mexico, his heart was in the United States. Even at a young age he was listening to San Diego radio stations learning English. He began working at a battery factory in Santa Ana, soon became a Supervisor there, but chose to leave after 25 years when they decided to relocate to Corona. He actually registered for the draft when he moved here in 1964.

Juan has 3 children, a 28 year-old son, 26 year-old daughter, and his “baby”, a 14 year-old son. A strange coincidence about his youngest is that he was born on the same date, day and time as Juan, and seems to have a similar personality. He strives to teach him that you must respect everyone, young and old.

Congratulations Juan on a job well done!
