Meet Our Staff

My name is Rod Smith.   I have been with the Germain Family of Dealerships for several years.   I have been fortunate to develop great relationships and have worked with multiple generations within families to help them find exactly what they want.  By far, that is my favorite part of the job.  Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, listening to jazz, and watching football.  Growing up, my family was so passionate about the sport that my two brothers and I played competitively at the collegiate level.  I played as a lineman at THE Ohio State University from 1989 – 1993, where I earned my degree in Communications.  Much of my work ethic today stems from the valuable lessons I learned on and off the field as part of that team.

I look forward to working with you and your family when you purchase your next vehicle.

Go Bucks!

Hello, I’m Kevin Banter Sales Consultant at Germain Honda of Dublin. I began my automotive career in 1987, joining the Germain team in late 2016. Throughout the years, I have received much training and certifications pertaining to the auto industry. My philosophy when it comes to working with our guests is to stop selling. I feel it is my job to assist our customers in getting what they want and do all I can to make it happen. Born and raised in Ohio, I love the change of season. I graduated from High School in Lima and received my degree in Business from OSU. College brought me to the Columbus area in 1981. My wife Deborah and I have four children: Sarah, Sam, Sadie, and Sophia. When I’m away from the dealership, I enjoy vintage cars. My favorite vacation spot is the Pacific Northwest; it is just a beautiful part of the world. My favorite Honda is the Civic; it’s a people car. A lot of first-time buyers go for the Civic.

Hi, I’m Jim Beatty Sales Consultant for Germain Honda of Dublin. In May 2019 I chose to enter the automotive business and I’m excited to bring my extensive customer service background to Germain. I believe that appreciation of our guests as well as taking great care of them will build loyalty. Born and raised in Mansfield allowed me the opportunity to meet many people from diverse backgrounds. I graduated from DePauw University with a BA in history. I relocated to Columbus in 1995 after graduating from college. When I’m away from the dealership I enjoy watching baseball, concerts and playing with my dog. If I were a superhero it would be Batman for all the cool gadgets he has. I have an eclectic taste in music, so I can usually enjoy whatever is playing. Vacations have me escaping the city, so I can kick back and relax. A few bits of info about me, I was 5th in my HS graduating class and I have a pretty good memory. The CRV is my favorite Honda I find it to be sporty yet utilitarian.

Hi, I’m Justin Bunkers, sales consultant for Germain Honda of Dublin. I’m excited to be a part of the Germain team, putting my customer service skills to work. I believe in providing a quick, easy, informative encounter that delivers the ultimate car-buying experience. I was born in Michigan (don’t hold that against me), and as a typical military family, I never stayed in one place too long.  I attended four high schools and graduated from Fountain in Fort Carson.  The positive part of relocating so often was the ability to meet new people and establish friendships.   I moved to Columbus (Go Bucks!) to be close to my children, Ayden and Hadley.  You will find me on adventures with them if I am not at work.   I still enjoy going to the gym, baking, embroidery, and working in my garage.  I’ve never gone on vacation, but I’m looking forward to finding my favorite vacation spot one day. You can share your suggestions with me as I help you purchase your next vehicle.  Some interesting facts about me; I’m a swimmer, and trumpet player, must wear socks in public, my favorite Superhero is Spiderman, and proudly serve in the US Air Force. The Honda Ridgeline RTL-E is my favorite of the line. I’m a truck guy.  This has enough space in the truck bed storage to lock up my golf clubs!

I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you.

Hi, my name is Chris, I would like to say, “I’ve seen the whole world”, but my world is small figuratively speaking. I live a humble life with my family north of Columbus. I have three children with the love of my life, Sheila. My oldest Rachael has almost finished pursuing a Ph.D. in Science, at Ohio State. Our son Christian teaches music and plays for a praise and worship group at a local Church, and Joel is now in college and working part-time. A family to complete one’s life. I began my sales career in sales as a Milkman in 1991, then into car sales in March of 1998 at my local Honda dealership. In April of 2007, I moved my career to Germain Honda in Dublin. My goal is simple, everyone’s satisfaction reached! So, enjoy life; “Because It’s only what we make it!”

Council of Sales Leadership 2015 – Silver Status – Hello, my name is Stephanie Hausherr Sales Consultant for Germain Honda of Dublin. Raised on the Oregon Coast, I drove a truck coast to coast for a few years. After truck driving, I settled in Nebraska for eight years. During six of those years, I was in restaurant management which allowed me to develop my customer relation skills. I decided it was time for a change of scenery and a different career, so I found myself moving to the Columbus area and focusing my skills towards automotive sales. I love auto-sales and believe that if you treat others as you would like to be treated along with honesty you can build customers for life. When you are in the market for a new car, I hope you will stop by and allow me the opportunity to earn your business.
