From the Southwester Magazine, Alex Severinghaus wears a lot of hats as Regional Store Manager for Zolman’s Best One Tire and Auto Care’s three Michigan retail locations in Niles, Kalamazoo and Portage. “I like helping people,” he said, “watching people grow, finding out their wants and needs, whether it’s personally or professionally, and being able to help them achieve those goals.
