Craig Melanson

Hi everyone, my name is Craig and I grew up in the Jaffrey/ Rindge, NH area. I graduated at Conant High School back in 2003! I have always lived right here near Keene, NH. I love the community and the people in it. I spent most of my days in the Rent to Own business at Rent-A-Center / Rentway. After 11 years there I wanted to move on to something different and found car sales. It definitely helps that we have amazing staff and owners who understand how great our community is, and want to make it better! On my days away from the dealership I spend my time as a loving husband to my wife Tiffany and an awesome Dad to my 3 kids, Logan, Alaina, and Tessa! They are the best! Always doing different sports, basketball, baseball, soccer, cheer, girls on the run, etc. What's not to be happy about! I'm always here to help people I grew up around, friends I meet on the way and future ones to come. I hope everyone is well and can't wait to meet you soon!

Robert Ekblom

Hi…I'm Robert Ekblom, part of the Sales Team here at Monadnock Ford since 2017. I started in the retail automotive business in 2011 after a long career in the Educational IT Research & Library industry. Since 1994 my wife Mary Ann and I have called Keene NH home, and have raised our 3 sons - Christopher, Nathan, and James here. I'm originally from Williamsport PA (home of Little League Baseball), and have been amazed at how many other individuals I have met over the years that have also relocated to this beautiful Monadnock / Connecticut River Valley region. I'm also a Private Pilot and enjoy everything that has to do with aviation and the exploring all that New England has to offer. It's a lot of fun selling the Ford Product line, from the iconic Mustang to the wide range of SUV's, and our awesome F150 & SuperDuty Trucks. I invite you to stop in sometime for conversation and a cup of coffee with me…any day but Thursday - that's the day I get to spend with my grandaughters 
