I'm originally from Saint Paul, MN, and a proud graduate of Central High School and the University of Minnesota (Psychology and Digital Media Studies – I also spent a year at Saint John's University studying Vocal Performance). My background is a little unique – I started out as a car photographer in 2021, moved into detailing in 2024, and found my passion for sales in 2025. I'm a hard worker, always on time, and patient with customers. I'm passionate about helping people find the perfect car, making the process easy and enjoyable. My goal is to ensure every customer leaves with a smile. I'm reliable, loyal, and always up for a chat – whether it's about sports (go Vikings!), music, movies, or anything else. I'm also pretty handy with a soccer ball, skateboard, and even a little UX/UI design. I speak some German and French, thanks to family in Germany. Working for a brand that prioritizes people is a perfect fit for me. Recent reviews: - 2026-04-24 | 5.0/5 | Rebecca O. — We met Will at the Twin Cities Auto Show in January. He stayed in contact with me, and he was patient and informative. Following a series of delays on our part, we were able to take a test drive in April. We really liked the Tiguan. My husband is not a patient guy, and Will went out of his way to accommodate last minute scheduling by us. We were completely satisfied with Will and the team at Westside Volkswagen. We would recommend Will to other customers. - 2026-03-06 | 5.0/5 | Lyndsay P. — Will was fantastic! Met him at the auto show in January and told him I’d reach out in the coming months if I wanted to pursue a vehicle. He was never pushy which made it easy to work with him. I was able to pick out the vehicle I wanted and he was very thorough with walking me through the controls and was always eager to answer any questions I had. Process didn’t feel rushed at all. Will definitely recommend Will! - 2026-02-25 | 5.0/5 | Chad C. — Will was great to work with! Very personable and accommodating! My only reservation with the whole experience was in the financial negotiations. It felt like they didn’t want our trade in and were low balling to get us out the door without trading. They repeatedly pointed out non damage to lower the value. I guess that is how they negotiate. 🤷🏻‍♂️ ### Christopher Michaels - Profile: [https://westsidevw.adviserly.com/christopher-michaels](https://westsidevw.adviserly.com/christopher-michaels) - Department: Service (Service) - Title: Service Advisor - Rating: 4.5 stars (117 ratings, 44 reviews) - Lifetime vehicles serviced: 30636 - Recent vehicles serviced: 154 Welcome!
