    David resides right here in Versailles and is married to our F&I manager Lee Griffith.

    You can catch him on the long running “Bob & Dave Show” on FOX 56 or ABC 36 every weekend with our General Manager Bob Kain, or you can listen them on the live call-in “Bob and Dave Radio Show” on WJMM 99.1 FM Christian Radio every Friday from 11:00am to 12:00pm for lighthearted and refreshing commentary and trivia. Or better yet, come by the dealership, you will spot him right in the middle of our showroom, probably singing a song, and doing what he does best – helping our customers make their visit a great experience!

    Her passion for connecting people and businesses drives Donna day in, day out. Some call her a connector; Donna calls it fun. She lives by the motto “You’ll get all you want in life if you help other’s get what they want.”

    Early on Donna knew her major in college, being a High School English Teacher wasn’t going to be challenging enough, so upon leaving the University of Kentucky she embarked on a career in the Hospitality Industry as an Event Planner at The Red Mile. Gradually she found her way into the Ad Agency world and eventually to a TV station. The information she learned in those positions ultimately prepared her to become the Marketing & Advertising Manager for Jack Kain Ford. The time she spent at The Red Mile planning everything from festivals and concerts to weddings & tour bus events prepared her well to plan events for the Quick Lane and the dealership.

    Donna spent a long-time volunteering for non-profit organizations such as the Woodford Humane Society, KY Equine Adoption Center, Wreaths Across America Camp Nelson and numerous other causes. She moved from the country, where she spent 15 years, to a small cottage in Versailles and is loving small town life with 2 fat beagles!

    Vehicle Acquisitions

    Joseph Chelf grew up in Ocean City, New Jersey, spending weekends on the beach and having quality family time. After graduating from Valley Forge High School he chose the Marine Corps and served five years that took him around the world. This adventure taught him patience, responsibility, and how to have someone’s back. When he came home, he went to work as a tower climber and a battery technician, the kind of work that rewards steady hands and a clear head. He kept learning by fixing his own cars.

    Joe’s family eventually settled in Kentucky. The holiday trips to visit them felt like the beginning of a new chapter. Last year he bought a truck from Jack Kain Ford and met people who cared about customers as much as results, which made the next decision easier. Joe packed his family up, left New Jersey, and joined Jack Kain Ford as a Vehicle Acquisition Specialist.

    New to the dealership, Joe treats customers like neighbors, listens first, and evaluates each vehicle with honesty. Outside of work he plans Disney trips with family and spends time with his family and two dogs. Kentucky feels like home, and Joe brings the same Marine-level commitment to every interaction.
