    Aaron Wallace

    Dealer Principal

    Aaron Savage Wallace leads The Schomp Automotive Group, one of Colorado’s oldest and, with the recent acquisition of Mike Naughton Ford and Empire Nissan Littleton, the state’s largest family-owned automotive business.

    Aaron is the fourth generation in his family to operate the business, now in its 82nd year in Denver. Aaron’s great-grandfather, Roy J. Weaver, one of Colorado’s first automobile dealers, founded the company in Pueblo more than 107 years ago and moved it to Denver in 1941.

    Grandfather Ralph Schomp was the Dealer of Record for over 30 years, followed by Aaron’s mother, Lisa Schomp, who turned the top management role over to Aaron in 2008. Aaron continues his family’s dedication to excellent business practices, striving to ensure customer loyalty and repeat business.

    The Schomp Automotive Group includes eight new and used automobile dealerships in Colorado – Schomp BMW, Schomp Honda, Schomp MINI, and Schomp Nissan in the South Metro Denver Area; and Schomp Subaru, Schomp Hyundai, Schomp Mazda, and Schomp Ford in Aurora, Colorado. The group moved into the metropolitan Salt Lake City, Utah market in 2016 with the opening of Mercedes-Benz of Farmington and partnered with the John Elway Dealership Group to purchase Porsche Salt Lake City from the Strong Automotive Group in 2019. In 2020, The Schomp Automotive Group partnered with Third Set Partners, an African American Owned automotive group, to open BMW of Fairfield in Northern California. Volkswagen of Fairfield will be the second dealership to open under this partnership and is scheduled to open its doors in June of 2023. In addition, Wallace established a full-service insurance agency, Schomp Insurance. He was the mastermind behind A2Z Sync – an automotive software company based out of Greenwood Village, Colorado, which offers software to help dealers streamline their sales processes. 

    Aaron returned to the dealership in 2006 after studying Automotive Management at Northwood University. He systematically evaluated every department within the organization to maintain its top position in Denver’s automotive community. He is fiercely competitive and willing to make tough decisions.

    Aaron’s leadership navigated four significant economic challenges: the Great Recession, the 2011 Japan Tsunami, COVID-19, and the supply chain shortages that dealers experienced in the aftermath of the pandemic.

    Schomp dealerships have built an excellent reputation for customer-centric sales and service processes. The Schomp sales philosophy of One Price. One Person. One Hour.® has maintained a leading market share in every market the businesses operate and has earned Schomp dealerships multiple OEM and automotive industry awards. 

    Wallace founded A2Z Sync in 2015, a software company dedicated to developing software and applications for the retail automotive business. A2Z Sync resulted from frustration with a complicated and fractured sales process requiring multiple software programs. His dream was to create a seamless, transparent, forward-thinking solution for the car-buying experience, and Wallace has created a more streamlined and integrated experience.

    A2Z Sync effectively leads the customer from the beginning through the end of the car-buying process, requiring a single Client Advisor who works with the customer throughout the experience. Aaron currently uses the A2Z Sync solution in the Schomp Automotive Group dealerships and licenses the product to other dealers nationwide.

    Aaron continues to build on his family’s tradition of supporting community causes and nonprofits. In Colorado, the Schomp Automotive Group has generously supported public education, The Children’s Hospital Colorado Burn Center, the Schomp BMW Denver Polo Classic benefiting the Denver Children’s Foundation, the Morgan Adams Foundation (pediatric brain cancer research), Love Hope Strength, automotive tech programs at Arapahoe Community College and Emily Griffith Technical College, the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley, and the Highlands Ranch Community Association.

    Schomp has been the Presenting Sponsor of Littleton’s Fire Truck Parade & Muster since its founding in 1985. Mercedes-Benz of Farmington partners with Primary Children’s Hospital in Utah and the Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund, which provides support to the children of military members who have died or been disabled in service to their country.

    Aaron is a Highlands Ranch Community Association board member and the Colorado Honda Dealer Council. He has also served on the BMW Dealer Forum, vAuto & Autotrader Dealer Advisory Boards.

    In his spare time, Aaron is an avid snowboarder, surfer and Denver Broncos fan. He loves to cook and enjoys great architecture.

    Brian Briscoe

    Chief Operating Officer

    Brian Briscoe’s love of the outdoors propelled him to Colorado after growing up in North Texas. He started selling cars at Ralph Schomp Honda in 1993, just a year after graduating from the University of Denver with a degree in Business Administration and was among the first group of Sales Advisors to transition from traditional commission-based compensation to Schomp’s pioneering “One Price℠” sales concept.

    “I shared the leadership vision the dealership had for a customer-focused sales process. And along the way I developed a passion and loyalty to the Schomp organization and its vision for the future,” he says. He’s carried that foresight up the ladder to his current position.

    Brian became Honda Sales Manager in 1997, shepherding the brand through major growth and market-share increases as well as to winning the prestigious Honda President’s Award multiple times (1995, 1996, 1997, 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2005). Along the way, he also helped close out the dealership’s Oldsmobile brand and developed the used car operation.

    He became General Sales Manager at Schomp BMW in 2006 and was instrumental in opening the Highlands Ranch BMW facility. Under his leadership the dealership capitalized on its customer-centric philosophy, increasing sales transparency and further streamlining the process with the introduction of delivery specialists and faster transaction processing.

    Brian became BMW General Manager in 2010 and also worked on a group-wide effort to improve transaction times that resulted in the dealerships’ embrace of the One Price. One Person. One Hour.® sales philosophy.

    He focused on creating more efficiency and transparency in fixed operations in 2012, including introducing innovations in parts delivery, extended hours and dynamic teams to cover them, an expanded management structure and a specialized diagnosis team to handle rapid growth and technology. Schomp BMW was named a BMW Center of Excellence three times under his leadership (2012, 2013 and 2014).

    Brian was responsible for overseeing the opening and outstanding first-year success of Mercedes-Benz of Farmington, Schomp’s expansion into the metro Salt Lake City market.

    He credits the success of the Schomp Automotive Group to great leadership, stability, vision, and direction from the family owners, relentless process improvement and accountability and the ongoing focus on developing future leaders and skilled staff.

    Jason White

    Vice-President of Finance, Managing Partner of Fay Myers

    Jason White’s career path began in the world of credit unions and led to the world of motorcycles and automobiles. He became the VP of Financial Services for Schomp Automotive in 2020 and is Managing Partner of Fay Myers and One Protect. He oversees financial and warranty products that Schomp offers to ensure customers have the best possible experience.

    Jason moved to Colorado from Texas at age three, but he considers himself a Colorado native. His father was one of the founding engineers at Martin-Marietta southwest of Denver, and his mother was a flight attendant for Continental Airlines. He admits he was a handful when he was younger, which led his parents to enroll him at St. John’s Military School in Kansas. After graduation he attended college, but it wasn’t the right fit, so he returned to Denver and worked part-time as a bank teller. Learning the banking industry gave him direction. Under the tutelage of his mentors, he learned the intricacies of financial statements and returned to Regis University to continue his education.

    “I planned to be a bank or credit union president. Finding my way to the motorcycle business was just luck,” he says. “I met a guy on a plane who mentioned a finance job opportunity at Fay Myers, and I jumped on it.” Jason started with Fay Myers Motorcycle World as Finance Manager in 1995. When Fay Myers became part of the Schomp group in 2004, he was the General Sales Manager and worked his way up to General Manager. The changes Mark Wallace, Lisa Schomp and Aaron Wallace made upon acquiring Fay Myers convinced him to stay and keep growing as part of the Schomp Group. He purchased an ownership stake in Fay Myers in 2011 becoming partner, then transitioned to the Schomp Group Automotive side in 2013 and was named General Manager at Schomp Honda in 2015.

    Jason married his wife Jennifer in 1997 and they have four children. He enjoys coaching football at the youth and high school levels. Not surprisingly, he’s a Broncos fan. He likes to scuba dive and loves to travel. His trips – many because of his work – have included visits to Italy, Greece, China, Japan, Germany, Austria, Mexico and other locations.

    Ana Peña

    Corporate Controller

    Ana’s path to the top numbers job as Corporate Controller at Schomp Automotive began in Durango, Mexico. Her family moved back and forth between Mexico and the United States frequently, since they had friends, family and other businesses. She lived with her husband briefly in Alaska before returning to Mexico for health reasons. She returned permanently to Denver in 1996 with her family.

    Restless with being a stay-at-home mom, in 1999 she took a contract job as a part-time assistant title clerk, and when budget problems ended that job applied to be a full-time title clerk at the Golden Automotive Group (Planet Honda/Planet Hyundai). Assuming more responsibility, she became office manager in 2003 and then assistant controller and compliance officer in 2006.

    Early on, she decided she needed to get more education. College credits earned in Mexico didn’t transfer, so in 2003 her daughters started spending the summers with her parents in Mexico and Ana went back to college, starting with accounting classes at Red Rocks Community College. A divorce in 2004 forced her to give up school to provide for her two kids. She wasn’t able to return to classes util 2010, when her oldest daughter, Sofia, entered college herself. She returned to Red Rocks, earned her Associate’s diploma and headed to Regis University where she enrolled in a hybrid BS/MBA program. She finished the program in five years, earning her MBA in Finance and Accounting. After 16 years with the Golden Group, she moved to Rickenbaugh, as Controller and Human Resources Director for three stores.

    Ana studied for but never completed her CPA., but she landed one of two Controller positions at the Schomp Automotive Group in 2018, and when her co-controller changed positions in 2019, she became our organization’s Corporate Controller.

    Ana loves to travel and explore new restaurants in a quest for good food. She loves being outdoors and likes to stay pretty active, “Based on what my schedule allows.” She cycles when weather and time permit. “I can’t live in a place without mountains!” She is very proud of her two daughters, Sophia and Beatriz. Sophia lives overseas; she has a Master’s degree in special education. Bea lives in Ohio and has a Bachelor’s degree in audiology. “They like to help people. They’ve both worked hard to have what they have and have more opportunity to grow in a professional way.”
