Mike Hammer

Job Titles:
  • Manager
I started with Westlake Ace in April of 2022. I had spent the last 20 years in different retail settings. I read a book, Amaze Every Customer Every time, that spoke all about Ace and how they treated their customers and associates, and I knew I had to see for myself. I have not been disappointed, and it has been a pleasure to meet with and service the community here in Corolla.
