  Good day! My name is Randy Nidalmia and I am the General Manager and a Partner in the business here at Southern Oregon Subaru.  I have been with the dealership for 23 years now after having started as a salesman in the 1990s, 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.  My son Dakota is a student at Lewis and Clark College in Portland pursuing Psychology and Mandarin Chinese while Autumn is a Senior this year at Ashland High School active in nearly everything!  My beautiful wife Jennifer, who was my high school sweetheart in Cincinnati Ohio where we both grew up, is a Nurse for Asante in Ashland.  We have two dogs, a cat and three alpacas - all part of the family.  Our newest addition Bindi, a mini Blue Healer has done commercials with me and sometimes accompanies me to work.  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 Masters 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 years and have a black belt in Okinawan Shorin Ryu in addition to ranks in two other styles of karate.  I love outdoor recreation and hike and golf all over the state.  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!

• Kevin Knopf

  Sales Manager

  

  I started in the automotive field in 1980 in Dallas, TX. I spent 5 years in Dallas before returning to Oregon after the birth of my first daughter. I spent 13 years working at a dealership in northern Oregon that had Chevrolet, Cadillac and Subaru. After my time there I had the opportunity to help open a new Chevrolet dealership in the Portland market and spent almost 11 years there.
  
  During all of this time I was blessed with 4 more children and 2 granddaughters that are a very big part of my life! When my wife and I had the opportunity to move to Southern Oregon we couldn't pass it up! Gregg Sorensen and I had met on a Subaru trip in the late 90's and I could tell at that time that he was a great dealer and a great guy, so when the time came that I had the chance to go to work for him and the family here at Southern Oregon Subaru it was a decision that took NO thought at all!
  
  Growing up I had no idea that I would end up in the automotive industry but I feel very fortunate to have done so! It is a great feeling going to a job that I enjoy.
  
  My spare time is spent with my wife and children mainly; occasionally I will hit the golf course or play a little racquetball!
  
  Thank you for considering us as a place to do your car buying and servicing, we appreciate it and never take for granted that you chose us as your dealership!
