    Lisa joined Audi San Diego in March 2020-literally the day before the world hit pause. But even a global shutdown couldn't dim her enthusiasm. Drawn by the reputation of Holman and the glowing reviews from colleagues, she jumped in with both feet and never looked back.

    What Nick loves most about the Audi brand is its ability to resonate with people. Nearly everyone he speaks with has either owned an Audi or has a story about one, making it a brand with true staying power and connection.

    Outside the dealership, Nick enjoys traveling Italy is a favorite, with Rome, Florence, and Venice (especially during Carnival) leaving lasting memories. He also plays his Takamine guitar and loves listening to Toad the Wet Sprocket, with Jackson Browne holding the top spot as his favorite lyricist.

Referred by a trusted colleague, Ruben made the move from Acura to Audi to stay at the forefront of automotive innovation and deliver the best in design, performance, and technology.

    For Ruben, Audi isn't just a brand-it's a lineup of personality-packed machines, each with its own distinct edge, from the punchy 4-cylinder to the legendary V10 R8. That combination of sportiness, sound, and style is what fuels his enthusiasm every day.

    Outside of the showroom, Ruben soaks up the San Diego sun golfing at Torrey Pines or Coronado, hitting hiking trails, enjoying the La Jolla coast, and spending quality time with friends and family.

From the iconic quattro system and Virtual Cockpit to the bold shift into electrification with the e-tron lineup, Francesca sees Audi as a brand that sets trends rather than follows them.

    Outside of work, Francesca enjoys staying active at the gym and cherishes quality time with her fiancée, whether trying new restaurants or traveling together to experience different cultures. She also loves to read, both for personal growth and relaxation, and finds balance and grounding through prayer.
