Gilbert Spotlight - William "Bill" Corbin

C.J. Somerville joined Team Gilbert in 2012 at Gilbert Chevrolet as a Service Technician. During his time at Chevrolet, C.J. worked as a Service Technician, Service Advisor, and then the Assistant Service Manager. As hard as it was to say "goodbye" C.J. and his family moved out of state. They couldn't stay away from this Florida sunshine long. Longing for beautiful weather, a friendly hometown, and a desire to help his church, C.J. and his family recently moved back to Florida where he re-joined Team Gilbert. This time he has joined the Gilbert Ford Service Team as their Service Manager. C.J says, "I'm super happy to be back and I'm excited to see what we can do in the future!" When asked why he chose to join Team Gilbert, C.J. answered, "because I felt I had more opportunities to grow." He said there is one person on Team Gilbert who has helped mold him into who he is today. "Jim Kenbeek has always been a wealth of knowledge. He is also very structured and hard working. He has definitely taught me a lot." One of C.J.'s favorite things about his current position as service manager is problem-solving and working with people. C.J. is married to his beautiful wife, Darcee and together they have 10 children and 1 granddaughter; Markies, Jaeden, Avery, Treyson, Angelina, Jizelle, Athena, Elijah, Emma, and Tayjon. He enjoys boating, fishing, and spending quality time with his family. We look forward to seeing your continued growth with Gilbert, C.J. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.

Becky Barnhart joined Team Gilbert in 2020 on the office team at Gilbert Chevrolet as the Office Manager. Joining Team Gilbert was a change in pace for Becky as she worked in the public/government sector for 20 plus years. She brings with her a positive attitude and the ability to overcome day-to-day challenges. We asked Becky what is her favorite part about being on Team Gilbert and she replied, "it's the folks that I have the privilege of working with on a daily basis." She said there are multiple people that have helped her grow on Team Gilbert, from Becky Racine who "showed her the ropes and answers her constant questions" to Joe Glevenyak who "is a wonderful mentor and cannot thank enough for his guidance and sharing his knowledge." When Becky isn't "facing the daily opportunities" and investigating the "how's and why's" at Gilbert Chevrolet, she enjoys cooking, baking, and flower crafts. Becky is married to her wonderful husband, Jim Barnhart. Together they have two sons and two bonus daughters. And between them, she has been blessed with 5 bonus grandchildren.

Aaron Mast or "A-A-Ron" as few of us like to call him, joined Team Gilbert in 2014 as a mechanic at Gilbert Outdoors. While he still goes out to the shop to diagnose problems or turn wrenches, Aaron was promoted to Parts and Service Manager a few years ago. This is a great role for him as it is clear he enjoys passing along his abundance of knowledge to the rest of the team. One of his teammates told us, "Aaron is always there to help me however he can. Whether I need help with a customer or moving boxes in the warehouse, he does whatever it takes for us to get the job done right." When Aaron finds free time, he enjoys going bass fishing but he spends most of his free time with his wonderful wife, Susan, and their daughter, Riley. He brings this love of family to work with him every day. For instance, he said what he loves about work is that "we are like one big family. We are always doing whatever we can for each other to make the day go smoothly no matter what issues may arise." Aaron's favorite thing about work is "being able to help resolve customers' issues with their mower or golf cart, especially when it comes to finding a part that may be scarce or hard to locate." One thing about Aaron always rings true and it is that he wants to do whatever is necessary to help a customer. From all of us on Team Gilbert, thank you for the excellent service to your team and customers, Aaron!
