Steve Sewell has been in the car sales business for over 20 years.
He began selling cars at 18, and now at 39, after years of hard work, he is the President and CEO of Westboro Mitsubishi, CEO of Midstate Auto Group, and Executive Vice President and COO of Dan's Jeep.
He currently oversees about 70 employees with total sales of $35 million annually.
Sewell, who graduated from Framingham North High and attended Becker College, resides in Upton.
Before he bought Westboro Mitsubishi about 3 years ago, he worked at Herb Chambers of Auburn as the General Manager from 1992 to 2000 and at Ragsdale Motor Group as the Executive VP and COO from ‘00 to ‘03.
Under the leadership of Sewell, Westboro Mitsubishi has become the highest volume dealer in New England.
Sewell said he owes this to his business philosophy, putting customers and employees first.
"This positive atmosphere is the fuel for our success," he said.
What does he anticipate for the new year?
"With 3 top dealerships in the local market, and other acquisitions in progress, you can't help but watch," he said.
And in the future, Sewell, who is already involved with many community charitable organizations including the 200 Foundation, the Jimmy Fund, and the Corridor Nine Chamber of Commerce, plans to start a charitable foundation that will allow him to share his success with others and give back to the community even more.
