For the first time in his career at Frank Myers Auto Maxx, Landen "Big Nasty" Sinclair has been named Automotive Solutions Provider of the Month. The June 2026 honor recognizes Sinclair's commitment to customer service, teamwork, and helping drivers throughout Winston-Salem and the Triad find transportation solutions that fit their needs, goals, and budgets.
What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it marks the first time Landen has earned the monthly award. Anyone who has spent time in the automobile business understands that success rarely happens overnight. It is usually the result of consistency, persistence, and a willingness to continue showing up with the same attitude and effort long after the excitement of a new opportunity wears off.
Around the dealership, Landen is affectionately known as "Big Nasty," a nickname that has become a beloved part of his personality among teammates. Fortunately for customers, there is nothing nasty about the way he approaches his work. Those who know him describe him as respectful, coachable, hardworking, and genuinely interested in helping people make one of the most important purchasing decisions they will make for themselves and their families.
At Frank Myers Auto Maxx, the sales team is intentionally referred to as Automotive Solutions Providers rather than salespeople. The distinction is important because the role involves far more than simply selling vehicles. Some customers need help overcoming credit challenges. Others need to replace a vehicle unexpectedly after a breakdown or accident. Many are growing families looking for something safer, larger, or more dependable. The goal is not simply to complete a transaction but to help solve a transportation problem and improve a customer's situation.
According to owner Tracy Myers, Landen has embraced that philosophy from the very beginning.
"Landen has quietly put in the work every single day," said Myers. "He has embraced our culture, treated customers with respect, and never acted like any task was beneath him. Awards like this do not happen by accident. They happen because someone shows up every day with the right attitude and a willingness to improve. This may be Landen's first Solutions Provider of the Month award, but I have a feeling it will not be his last."
General Sales Manager Keith Bowman has had the opportunity to watch Landen's growth firsthand and believes the recognition is well deserved.
"Landen has earned the respect of everyone in the building," Bowman said. "He listens, he learns, and he genuinely cares about helping people. Around here we call him Big Nasty, but there is nothing nasty about the way he treats customers. He works hard, he stays positive, and he represents exactly what we want the Frank Myers experience to be."
For Landen, the award was both humbling and motivating.
"It feels great to win this for the first time," Sinclair said. "There are a lot of talented people on this team and I have learned something from every one of them. I appreciate Tracy, Keith, and my teammates for pushing me to improve every day. Most importantly, I am thankful for the customers who trusted me to help them during such an important purchase. This award means a lot to me."
One of the things that makes employee recognition meaningful is that it reminds everyone that success is rarely achieved alone. Every customer experience depends on the efforts of service technicians, detail professionals, office personnel, managers, lenders, and teammates working behind the scenes to ensure that everything goes smoothly. Individual awards may carry one person's name, but they are almost always supported by an entire team.
Still, first awards hold a special significance. Every successful professional remembers the first time someone recognized their hard work and contribution. It becomes a milestone that serves as both a reward for past effort and motivation for future growth.
For Landen Sinclair, June 2026 will always represent that milestone. It was the month his name went on the board as Automotive Solutions Provider of the Month and the month his teammates had one more reason to celebrate the success of the man they proudly call Big Nasty.
Congratulations, Landen, on your first Automotive Solutions Provider of the Month award. Everyone at Frank Myers Auto Maxx is proud of what you have accomplished and excited to see what comes next.
