The granddaughter of company founder William F. Reineke Sr., who purchased his first dealership in 1960, Suzie Reineke had other plans upon graduating from Ohio State University in 2010 with a degree in fashion and retail studies and marketing."I honestly had no ambition to come back, but I wanted to try it out and see if it was a fit for me," she said. "Ultimately, I fell in love with it."Reineke started her career in sales. She then moved into marketing, where she created a marketing department for the Reineke Family Dealerships then eight stores. Before that, marketing and advertising were handled by individual stores.Now, as a brand manager overseeing the group's three Lincoln stores, she's using her education in ways she hadn't imagined."Having that fashion background, you just have more of an appreciation for the materials and what goes into all of these vehicles," she said. "That helps sell the vehicles if you have that passion behind it."Reineke, a recent graduate of the NADA Dealer Academy, would like to continue working in the family business. She is interested in becoming a partner, helping to build upon the family legacy along with other third-generation members of the Reineke family.Reineke's father, Bill Reineke, an Ohio state legislator, currently operates Reineke Family Dealerships with his father, two brothers, and a brother-in-law."I'm very proud of her," said Bill Reineke.

She and her husband, Weston Reinbolt, are rehabilitating buildings in the city's downtown.

Ashton Hemminger is a CEO alumnus from the class of 2022, the first inaugural year of Seneca CEO. Ashton has always been passionate about running her own company; therefore, learning about an entrepreneurial program coming to Seneca County was exciting. "I was committed to moving away to attend a four-year degree in a big city until I became completely invested in the CEO program my senior year of high school. I had no intentions of moving back to Tiffin, however, now I am so anxious to move back." Concluding her year as a CEO student, Ashton launched her company, AJ & Co. Marketing, in downtown Tiffin. AJ & Co. "Masters your Message" specializes in social media management, site/team photography, and digital advertising. Ashton's CEO experience changed her life forever, in the best way. She currently attends Columbus State Community College with a major in Marketing and an anticipated graduation date of Spring 2024. She fully intends to return her company to Tiffin, concluding her degree. Ashton enjoys traveling and spending time with her friends and family outside of work.
