Kadel’s Auto Body, an Oregon-based MSO, has announced the promotion of D.J. Hall to the position of shop manager for its North Salem location.

Hall was born in Frankfurt, Germany, but considers himself a Texan at heart, having spent most of his life in San Antonio. He now resides in Hillsboro, Ore., with his wife Kelly and four children. He has a passion for water-cooled Volkswagens, the San Antonio Spurs and the Buffalo Bills.

“Some of my greatest professional opportunities have been with Kadel’s,” he said. “It is a great company to work for because of the excellent leadership.”
