Josh Holz

General Sales Manager

I grew up in Le Mars, located in northwest Iowa. Today, I live in Gilbert just north of Ames — with my beautiful wife, Samantha, and our three wonderful children: Addison, Cora, and Bennett. They are truly my world. I began my journey in the automotive industry in 2003 and proudly joined the Wilson team in 2007. I genuinely love what I do and feel incredibly fortunate to work alongside such an exceptional team. The Wilson family is among the most inspiring and generous people I’ve ever met, and I’m proud to call them — and my colleagues — friends. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, golfing, fishing, and spending quality time with family and friends. I’m always happy to help however I can, and I hope to welcome you to Wilson Toyota soon!

Sales Manager

I have been in the automotive industry for over 30 years! I enjoy being able to help people with the purchase of their new or pre-owned vehicle needs. Wilson Toyota is a special place with a special group of employees. Outside of work my wife Connie and I love to spend time with our kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. So blessed!

Ryan Smalley

Internet Sales Manager

I’ve been with Wilson Toyota for nearly seven years. I’m passionate about helping customers find the right vehicle and making the buying experience smooth and stress-free. I started off selling vehicles here in 2018 and have been in love with Wilsons since! Being involved with internet sales now has been my favorite part of the job so far, as it not only allows us here to ensure the customer has a smooth transition from online to in-store thanks to SmartPath, but you just never know where you will get an inquiry from and the who you'll talk to! Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my fiancée Hannah, our families, and getting outdoors as much as possible. Some of my favorite hobbies include gunsmithing, range shooting, smoking food and snowboarding during the winter months.
