Derek Albert came with the building when the Goodwin's bought our Oxford location in 2001. He has worn many hats since then including salesman, finance manager, business development manager, and sales manager. As sales manager Derek is back doing what he likes best, interacting with customers, and doing his best to get them into a vehicle that best fits their needs and budget.

Favorite local meal: I don't think there is anything better in the Oxford Hills area than an order of Coquilles Saint Jacques from Maurice's in South Paris.

Favorite car to drive: What's not to love about a fully loaded Chevrolet Tahoe?

My favorite pets are: two 5-year-old rat terrier/chihuahua mixes named Pip and Squeak. They were the last two puppies from a rescue litter and my wife couldn't decide which one to bring home so logically that meant she should bring home both.

My name is Cody Fortier, I am 25 years old, and was born and raised right here in the good ol' town of Oxford Maine! I have tried a lot of career paths, from building houses, road construction, cooking, and security. I am a people person, I love to meet new people, talk to people, and make people smile, which makes this career perfect for me. I get to meet new people every day, get to know them and make friends with them. Makes going to work every day a heck of a lot better. If your ever in the area, swing by and say hello, whether you're just killing some time, in for service, or looking for a new, used, or certified pre-owned vehicle, I would love to meet you! I don't bite, so come drink a cup of coffee and let's get to know each other.

Favorite local meal: I would have to go with a "Hot Mess" from a small locally owned and operated diner called Daddy O's. The combination of the great food, and friendly customer service, makes for an unbeatable experience.

My favorite pet: Hands down would be my 4-year-old lab/ Jack Russell, named Karma. She is the sweetest, most loving dog you will ever meet. She has such a big personality. She is also my 5-year-old son's best friend. She follows him around everywhere and anywhere and sleeps in his bed cuddled up to him every night. I never thought I could love a "pet" as much as this girl. She is not a pet, she is family.

The best place to see a sunset: Have you ever been to Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park? If not, you are missing out. It is the perfect way to end your night with an indescribable sunset that is a must-see, with 360 degrees of beautiful scenery, breathtaking ocean views, and a relaxing atmosphere. It is also the first place to see the sunrise in the whole United States from October through March!

I grew up right in Norway just minutes from the current Goodwin Chevrolet Buick Oxford location. I graduated from Oxford Hills Comprehensive High school and later went on to attend the University of Southern Maine pursuing a degree in Human Biology. I enjoyed playing golf for the high school team at OHCHS and still enjoy it to this day. I have always had a love for cars and that lead to pursuing a career as a Sales Consultant.

My favorite meal in the area around our dealership is at Bridgton House of Pizza. They have an awesome Greek Salad and even better-stuffed shells. You can't go wrong with any of the pasta, their tomato sauce is amazing.

My favorite pet is my Golden Doodle 'Bear'. He is 6 years old now and has the typical fluffy white coat of fur that most Golden doodles have. He is very calm and happy to greet anyone who wants to pet him.

My favorite drive to take in Maine is on the coastal roads near Kennebunkport, there's no other place that better represents the gorgeous coast of Maine.
