  • Ty Yemane
    New Car Porter
    703-522-6000

    When Ty first arrived in New York City back in the 1980s to join his wife and children, he had no clue what to do to make a living and support his family. Since he had a business background, he joined John Hancock Insurance Company located in Long Island. He found selling intangible products to be very challenging but quickly found out that he could make a living out at it. In 1999, Ty moved from New York to Virginia. Here again, the question of what to do gave him some sleepless nights. A friend of his suggested that if he were so good at selling intangible products, he might be super good at selling tangible products like cars. So, in 2000, Ty started working for Koons, and it became his first experience in the automotive business. He is one of the few septuagenarians working for Koons. He is grateful and enjoying every moment of it. 


    Ty fluently speaks French and Amharic (Ethiopian language), and he speaks some Italian.
