    General Manager
    541-245-2000

    My name is Randy Nidalmia and I am the General Manager and a Partner in the business here at Southern Oregon Subaru.  I started my career at the dealership in February 1995 as a Salesperson before moving into Finance and Sales Management and ultimately General Manager and Partner/Owner.  I absolutely love the product and have personally owned more Subarus than I care to remember!

    I am the proud father of two wonderful young adults.  They are both currently studying at Lewis and Clark College in Portland Oregon after graduating from Ashland High School.  My lovely wife Jennifer, who was my high school sweetheart in Cincinnati Ohio where we both grew up, is a Nurse for Asante currently involved in education and facilitating the Sanctuary model for health care providers.  We enjoy exploring the great outdoors of southern Oregon with our dog Bindi at every opportunity. 

    I attended Earlham College in Indiana where I completed my bachelor's degree with double majors in Philosophy and English before continuing my studies in English Literature in the University of Cincinnati Master's program.  My personal interests have ranged from Ironman Triathlon to endurance running to martial arts to golf.  I have completed the Subaru sponsored Ironman Canada three times and in 2011 completed the Pine to Palm 100 mile endurance run.  I trained and taught martial arts for many years.  My wife and I love to travel and have ventured all over the world exploring all the various and fascinating cultures of this planet.  For indoor past time I love to read and write and play guitar.  My ideal day is any day I can spend with my family enjoying the beauty of Oregon and the thrill of life.  

    My family and I feel honored to be a part of the Southern Oregon community and thoroughly love this area and its people.  I look forward to many more years with Southern Oregon Subaru and invite anyone to please call me with any questions or concerns or just to visit and share in their experience with our dealership.

    Have a great day!

  • Nick Knutson
    General Sales Manager

    Hi, my name is Nick Knutson. I love it here at Southern Oregon Subaru.  I was born and raised right here in Medford, Oregon, and absolutely love it here.  I moved to South Carolina for 5 years and really did like it but between family and the mountains, rivers and lakes of the Rogue Valley I was called back home.  My amazing wife Jen and my 4 beautiful children are the most important thing in the world to me.  I have a son Koen, a daughter Olivia, a son Isaiah and another son named Lennon.  We all love camping, hiking, swimming and above all time at the beach!

    I am absolutely blessed to represent such a great store and such an amazing product.  I can confidently help customers, family and friends with new and pre-owned vehicles and feel wonderful about it!  I love my job and I do everything I can to translate that into a positive experience for every customer.

  • Bob Adams
    Sales Professional

    I started my career in the car business right here at Southern Oregon Subaru back in 1996. 1996 was a big year for me. It was the year I got married to my lovely wife and was my first big job out of college. I am a graduate of Southern Oregon University and I also a graduate of South Medford High School. I currently reside with my family in Ashland and my son joined the family in 2006.

    Most of my career with Subaru has been as a sales representative, but I have worked my way up to the business manager here. I have enjoyed working with many of the same customers that have been ever so loyal to the dealership and the Subaru Brand. Many of my customers have drove many hours to do business with us and have returned time and time again to get the quality customer service they deserve.

    In my spare time I enjoy running, traveling with my family, rowing on lakes and rivers, watching football and playing golf. I have a passion for spicy food (habanero sauce goes on most of my food). I think I like to run so I can eat more.

    Working here at Southern Oregon Subaru has been a wonderful experience and I have felt so welcomed here over the years. I look forward to many more years to come. Look forward to meeting many more happy Subaru Owners!
