Marketing Director Justin Harmon has a very different career path than most Eide employees. Before working for Eide, Justin was in a meeting with Dealer Principal, Jesse Peterson, where Jesse made a comment that he wished he could find someone to do “all of this marketing stuff” for him. Afterward, Jesse’s comment stuck in Justin’s head, and at the time Justin was looking for a career change. Justin, with his resume, later approached Jesse and reminded him of his comment and expressed interest in working for him and the Eide organization. “The five years since I started have gone by incredibly fast. I feel very lucky to have been given this opportunity to work for Eide. It has been an amazing journey and I am very excited for the future of this growing organization,” Harmon said.

Don Pask, General Manager of Eide Chrysler & Jesse Schuchard, General Manager of Eide | Eide Ford & Eide Chrysle
Two perfect examples of leadership and professional growth in the Bismarck community are the General Managers at the Eide dealerships: Don Pask of Eide Chrysler and Jesse Schuchard of Eide Ford.
One thing Eide prides itself on is promoting from within, and Don and Jesse are perfect examples. Don Pask started as a college intern in 2011 at Eide Ford. Through the years, he worked his way through sales and management and in 2021 became the General Manager of Eide Chrysler.
“I never would have been able to get to where I am today without Eide. This dealership has had a monumental impact on both my professional and personal life and I am beyond thankful for the opportunities that have been given to me these last 11 years.”
Jesse Schuchard started in 2012 as a sales consultant and quickly moved through management positions until he became the General Manager of Eide Ford in 2021.
“Eide helped me to set goals and then achieve them. The growth I have seen in myself and my team is something I have never seen at any other company. Eide opens up opportunities to its employees regardless of their current jobs, allowing for continuous growth,” Jesse said.
“It’s awesome to see our employees grow professionally here at Eide, but the coolest thing to see is the personal growth of each of our employees,” Don said. “Moving up in the company is a great step, but watching them start a family or buy their first house, that is why I am proud to be a part of this organization.”

Deno Muller, Sales Manager | Eide Ford Mandan
Mandan native Deno Muller understands the importance of building strong relationships with everyone he works with. Starting at Eide Ford as a sales consultant in 1993, Deno is now a sales manager at Mandan’s newest dealership, Eide Ford Mandan.
Eide focuses on taking care of their customers before, during and after the sale—and Deno is one of the best examples of how to live out the Eide values of honesty and integrity. He continuously develops relationships with his customers, getting to know them beyond the dealership. Deno shared that he has sold cars to couples and then later has been able to sell their kids their first car.
“My dad worked in this building as a mechanic for 20 years and I am excited to come back to it, to grow the Eide organization and to become a bigger part of the Mandan community,” Muller said.
