Our Story
Bobby Treece is the owner and founder of Findmeavan.com. He officially established the company in 2011, but the vision and values go back decades. Bobby grew up on a farm in northern Alabama. When he was six, he was given away to be raised by an adopted grandfather who instructed him in Christlike wisdom, love, and honor. He taught Bobby to value hard work, integrity, honesty and trust. When Bobby was 17, he gave his life to Christ and began walking out all that his grandfather had taught him.
Soon after this experience, he sensed a call toward pastoral ministry. Bobby attended Martin College in Pulaski, Tennessee, and in 1983, attended Greensboro College in North Carolina. He graduated with his BA at Hardin Simmons University and in order to further grow and prepare for ministry, he enrolled at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to pursue a Masters of Divinity and then on to Emmaus Road School of Ministry for further ministry training.
In order to pay for college Bobby began selling books door to door with the Southwestern Company out of Nashville, Tennessee for five summers. As well, he would often purchase a car from a friend back in Alabama, drive it to college, and sell the car for a small profit to help with tuition and living expenses. This continued on as a supplement to get through college, graduate school, and the early years of ministry. The idea of marketing vans came as a result of a beautiful young woman Bobby met while working with the Southwestern Company, Corina Woods. She was the companies number one salesperson her first year and after a brief courtship, they married. Being blessed with eight children, the need for a van came quickly. They knew many other large families who were in need of quality transportation for their family. As a result, Bobby began to look for vans. Findmeavan.com was formed and has continued growing with a very specific vision:
to “glorify God and to serve and satisfy our clients with excellence and integrity by providing the highest quality vans and other vehicles at the very best value.”
