Meet our Team

I was named after my father who served as a pastor, and my paternal grandfather who sold Studebaker automobiles during the Baby-Boom years following World War II. I began my automotive career at 19 years old, and advanced to Branch Manager of Big Island Honda / Mercedes-Benz by the age of 29. At 30 years old, I followed my father's footsteps into full-time pastoral ministry in Kona, Hawaii, and eventually moved with my family to Las Vegas.  After 18 years in full-time ministry, I returned to the automotive career I was always so passionate about, and have been the general manager of Subaru of Las Vegas since August 2007. I believe my career and my calling go hand in hand, and make it a daily prayer that I would faithfully lead others to serve our customers as we should serve our Creator. I have been married to my teenage sweetheart, Toni Chambliss Hughes for 45 years; have three children, Cameron (Laury) Hughes, Emma (Danielle) Moore, and Elizabeth (Kevin) Farias, who have blessed me with four amazing grandchildren-with hopefully more on the way. Outside of my role and responsibilities at Subaru of Las Vegas, I enjoy spending time with my family, ministering in my local church, and sailing my Hunter 36 Hybrid-Electric Sailboat in Ventura, CA.

Aloha!  I'm Jennifer, Assistant General Manager at Subaru of Las Vegas.  Originally from the island of O'ahu (Hawai'i), I have called Las Vegas home since 2015. I probably have the most unique story of all; blessed to now be in the role that I'm in, my background is primarily in Sales & Marketing outside of the automotive industry.  I started my career in Sales & Marketing back in 2004 with Hilton Hawai'i.  I continued that on to iHeartMedia in 2009 and carried my career to Las Vegas with iHeartMedia in 2015.  In 2016, I had the opportunity to be a Media Buyer for Caesars Entertainment worldwide and eventually landed back at iHeartMedia in 2019, which is when I met Mr. Hughes. In 2020, I decided to take a leap of faith and joined the family at Subaru of Las Vegas as the Director of Marketing (I'm a big believer in taking the path that makes you most nervous, for with change and challenge comes immense growth).  After a year and a half of being challenged with building the marketing department amidst a pandemic, I was presented with a new opportunity to venture into the world of an Assistant General Manager. I believe whole-heartedly in the Subaru brand and everything that it stands for.  Success to me is knowing that our daily actions in all that we do is making a positive impact; whether that is helping a customer find the perfect vehicle for their specific needs, or using our ability and platform to give back to our beautiful city and the people within it.  I believe in working hard, being honest, showing kindness, doing the right thing always, treating others as you would want to be treated, and lending a helping hand.  I have a love for people and a passion to inspire the greatness that is in each and every one of us to shine through. When I'm not at Subaru of Las Vegas, I am often times spending time with my four children, traveling, and just enjoying life to the fullest.  We only get to live this life once, so live it well.

Hello! My name is Scott McCoy General Sales Manager of Subaru of Las Vegas. My wife Jenny and I are originally from Nebraska and moved to Las Vegas in 2008.  We have three brilliant children, Harrison, Bennett, and Sawyer. My time away from the store is mainly spent keeping these three entertained, happy, and healthy, its a full time job! I started with Subaru of Las Vegas in 2016 as the Pre-Owned Vehicle Manager. Before coming to Subaru of Las Vegas I spent many years with CarMax. This was my first venture into automotive retailing and I started in the Sales Department. Looking to better understand the business I made my way into the Buying Department focusing on vehicle acquisition and market conditions. At this point I had already spent the last 15 years in a sales or sales management role, so to take on a position that allowed me to better understand the business from an alternative perspective was exciting! My vision at Subaru of Las Vegas is to continue the work of those before me. To create and embrace an environment where people come first. To provide our team with the tools and resources they need to be successful both professionally and personally. To empower our team to do the right things for the right reasons. We are here to serve, to serve our associates and to serve our guests. Creating a great customer experience is not only about process, honesty, integrity, and great communication. Its about establishing a great associate experience. Humanizing the associate experience empowers the team to provide a great customer experience, that starts with trust. Trust is the glue and the grease, it allows for greatness to stick and teams to run smoothly.  

My name is Coty Dehnert and I have been given the opportunity to join the Subaru of Las Vegas family as the new Parts & Service Director and I could not be more thrilled. I've been asked to introduce myself and share a little about my background and who I am. I promise to try to keep this brief. I was born and raised in the small coastal Oregon town of Waldport in a community of about 2,000 people, which may have only been given an actual name due to the one stoplight where historic Highway 101 and Highway 34 intersect. I was lucky enough to live there until I was eighteen years old when, like most small-town kids I fled for the big city as soon as possible. I say lucky because I was blessed enough to graduate high school with the same friends I went to elementary school with and build the type of friendships that only come from growing up together. My passions growing up all revolved around baseball, football, basketball, my true love of wrestling, and of course cars. In sports, I learned about teamwork, leadership, work ethic, and how to win and lose with grace. When my time in Waldport was done I moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I started my path in the automotive service field. I attended a two-year automotive technician program while working as a parts runner for Chevrolet. I fell in love with the desert during my time in Phoenix; after all being from the Oregon coast sunshine can be hard to come by. Once I graduated tech school I returned to the Pacific Northwest and was hired on to a Portland, OR Lexus dealership as a lube technician. Things moved quickly for me at Lexus. I was given an apprenticeship with one of the very best technicians in the county, who brought me along quickly. My time at Lexus was integral to my growth in this industry but even more so personally as that is where I met my beautiful wife, and mother of my children, Wonji. Shortly after meeting Wonji and my three-year anniversary at Lexus, I was lured away to pursue an opportunity with Honda. I spent six years with Honda furthering my career as a technician where I eventually became a team leader and foreman. But the desert was always calling. The rain and "doom and gloom" of the northwest were just not for us. With my departure from Honda, I decided to shift gears and start writing service. Enter the Findlay Automotive Group. We moved to Las Vegas, NV where I was very fortunate to join Findlay Toyota where I began my service writing career. Over 10 years I advanced from an Advisor, to a Service Drive Manager, and then finally Service Manager. During that time Wonji and I put down our roots and started our family. We were blessed in the summer of 2014 with the birth of our daughter, Madison, and then in December of 2015 we welcomed our son, Austin. These days when I'm not at the dealership, I spend my time with family, hiking, swimming, and teaching my kids anything and everything I have to offer. Life is pretty good as they say. But that's enough about me. Before I wrap this up I want to touch on my love for Subies. Professionally I've always worked with other brands but Subaru has been my car of choice more than once. I fell in love with the rally-inspired all-wheel drive when the WRX came to North America. After years of following and rooting for our Rally teams and wanting a Subie of my own, I finally purchased a brand new 2014 STI from this very store. (A very fast and pleasant experience I might add!) Joining Subaru of Las Vegas feels like a very long time coming for me and I couldn't be more excited to be on this team and get even more involved in the Subaru community. I look forward to seeing you around town and in our store. Thank you.

Hello! My name is Ted Terry and I’m the Finance & Insurance Sales Manager at Subaru of Las Vegas. I grew up in Chicago and I finished high school and college in Wisconsin (Go Badgers). After graduation, It didn’t take me long to realize where I wanted my career to head. I started CarMax in 2000 and quickly grew to love the Auto Industry. I helped train and develop hundreds of Sales Consultants and several Sales Managers and General Managers. While at CarMax, I also met my amazing wife. We each helped grow our locations and enjoyed our time there as Sales Managers, but after 15 years, I was ready for a new adventure! I joined Subaru of Las Vegas in February 2015, and I’m so glad I did. Findlay Automotive has been an amazing company to work for. It didn’t take me long to know Subaru of Las Vegas would be like a second home. I’ve had the opportunity to hold several positions here and have enjoyed each of them. My goal is to train and develop each associate to their full potential with my specialty in Finance and Customer Service. I believe in the Findlay Auto Group and the Subaru brand. I help instill all the Love Promise and Findlay Cares qualities. After 22 years in the auto industry, I can’t wait to see what the future will hold. While I’m not at the store, I love spending time with my family, traveling and watching sports. I have two beautiful daughters who keep me busy with all of their sports and activities. I’m a huge Chicago sports fan and go to as many games as I can throughout the year. Now that the Raiders are here in Vegas, I go to all the home games to support our local team, but the Bears will always be my #1 team. I invite all customers to come into our beautiful store. I look forward to meeting you, then watch you drive away in your new vehicle. You will see how our culture and customer service are a step above for an enjoyable car buying experience.

Hello my name is Carmine Kopecky and I have had the pleasure and opportunity to be a part of this team for 4 years and running. I am currently the Service Manager of Subaru of Las Vegas. I am originally from Chicago Illinois, I was basically born in the car industry. My parents owned a body shop, mechanical shop, tow company as well as running the impound lot. I have been driving and working on cars since I was 9. My family did not want me to get into the car industry so I decided to go to college for Hospitality Management. After college I was given the opportunity for management at a few properties on Las Vegas Blvd. I stayed in that industry for 15 years and started my family, it was at that point the industry was taking a toll on my family life. While in college and a little after I was a service writer at a Toyota store and I really enjoyed it. 4 years ago I decided to take a step back to focus on my family and became a Service Advisor here at Subaru of Las Vegas. 3 years later I was given the opportunity to demonstrate leadership skills and was promoted to Service Drive manager than to Service Manager. I love the roll I am in where I can assist our team as well as customers to ensure they are enjoying their Subaru. If you see me around please do not hesitate to say hello.
