Michael Anderson thriving in family car business
The family car business always beckoned, but coming out of college Michael Anderson was unsure how he felt about the business or working for his father. Instead, he cut his teeth at other dealerships before returning to the fold to manage a new store in Columbia, S.C.
It's a decision he recommends for anyone who grows up in a family business because it gave him confidence and a greater management perspective. That experience, along with an MBA from Kennesaw State University, has proved valuable as Anderson Automotive Group expands and plans for the future.
