Meet the Staff of Ascend Motor Company

Bo Mitchell - Finance Wizard

865-523-7224 - bo@ascendmoco.com

I’ve worked in automotive lending and finance since 2005, including roles with two of Forbes' top five employers. Over the years, I’ve earned multiple awards and distinctions while building deep industry experience across several key areas.

I’ve run dealerships, managed loan portfolios, underwritten deals, and built a reputation for making the financing process clear and fair. I’m also a licensed mortgage broker, insurance agent, and have passed FINRA’s Series 7 and 66 exams, giving me a unique perspective on how lending works from every angle. This means when you sit down with me, you’re not just talking to a car dealer, you’re working with someone who knows how to help you get the best terms possible to truly fit your needs and budget.

I graduated form Arkansas State University, where I was a member of the football team and completed an honors thesis titled The Economics of Intercollegiate Athletics.

Outside of work, my fiancée and I keep busy raising our three teenagers. We’re regulars at local music venues supporting the rock/metal scene. When we’re not catching a show, you’ll probably find us camping, hiking, or kayaking. We like to live like tourists- always on the lookout for the next adventure.

My mission here is simple: To help people Ascend to a better experience. Whether you’re buying your first car, upgrading your family vehicle, or just exploring your options, you’ll always get honesty, respect, and a fair deal with me.

I look forward to working with you. :)

Deeanna Ramirez - Sales

I have several years experience in the automotive industry, working in just about all roles. I've always been one of the top salespeople at every dealer that I have been at. I am a native of Cherokee N.C. I enjoy my time with my family and lots of lake time. I also speak fluent Spanish. When you come to see me I work for you the customer with honesty and integrity. I have built my personal brand over the last several years here in Knoxville as the TN Car Lady. I promise that I will work my hardest to get you in the car you want.

Bradley Hunter - Inventory Manager

8655237224 - bradley@ascendmoco.com

My name is Bradley Hunter, and I’ve been working as an automotive technician for over 10 years. I started in the industry at 18 and have spent the past decade building my skills and knowledge across a wide range of vehicles. I’m certified with both Honda and Ford, which has given me the opportunity to work with advanced technology and stay up to date with the latest diagnostic and repair techniques.

I take a lot of pride in my work and believe in doing every job the right way—from simple maintenance to complex repairs. My goal is always to make sure every vehicle I work on leaves the shop running safely and efficiently. I enjoy problem-solving, learning new systems, and helping customers feel confident about the service they’re receiving.

As part of a growing business, I’m also taking the opportunity to expand my knowledge beyond the shop. I’m currently learning more about the sales and service side of the industry, including financing and purchasing vehicles at auction. Understanding these areas helps me see the full picture of the automotive world and allows me to contribute more to our team and our customers’ experience.

I’m proud to be part of a new and developing business, and I’m excited to keep learning, growing, and helping build something great from the ground up.
