COLLEYVILLE, Texas - Justin B. Gasman, finance director for McCaddon Cadillac Buick GMC in Boulder, Colorado, passed the Association of Finance & Insurance Professionals (AFIP) Master Certification Exam with high marks, topping off a year of achievement. His dealership was nominated for F&I and Showroom’s “​2014 ​F&I Pacesetter Dealer of the Year,” and he was named the magazine’s “2014 F&Idol” winner.

Gasman has 11 years of experience in the automotive industry. He began apprenticing in F&I during his first job as a salesman with Fisher Chevrolet Honda Pontiac in Boulder. After a year, he was promoted to F&I manager and later moved up to the finance director position. When the dealership transitioned in 2009 to Fisher Honda Kia, he served the organization as both finance director and Kia sales manager.

Gasman joined the McCaddon organization in January 2014. The family-owned dealership, in operation since 1958, sells and services all makes and models of Cadillac, Buick and GMC vehicles.

The dealership’s president, Mark McCaddon, said, “In today’s extreme regulatory and consumer-protective environment, the training and competency of F&I professionals is important to the entire operation. We are proud and delighted that Justin has reached the very highest level of proficiency in this position, and congratulate him for achieving master level status with the Association of Finance & Insurance Professionals. His willingness to train and test to this level is a benefit to our customers, the entire dealership organization – and to the industry as a whole.”

Gasman studied psychology and business at the University of Colorado at Boulder and is an F&I University graduate. He was AFIP certified in 2006 and earned senior certification in 2008. “AFIP certification reflects my commitment to my craft – and shows customers that we are doing business legally, ethically and professionally,” said Gasman.
