Jason Cale, Sales Agent/Car Concierge
My name is Jason Cale and I serve on the iAutoAgent® Team as a Car Concierge. This role includes the showing of vehicles to interested buyers and delivering cars when a sale is confirmed.
I originally hailed from Macomb, Illinois. My wife and family moved to beautiful Missouri at the end of 2017. I have always had the passion to be part of a successful, dedicated team. While living in Missouri, my path led me to meet iAutoAgent®’s CEO, Jay Grosman who invited me to join the team. I decided to become a member of the team because I knew my passion for success and dedication would be echoed by each of my teammates. “Being able to apply this team approach for our clients and the service we provide them is a win, win!”
I joined the iAutoAgent® Team because I had such an amazing experience as a client of iAutoAgent®! I bought a 2013 Dodge Charger R/T from them and had the most amazing experience. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced buying a car. I knew at that point I wanted to be a part of this amazing company. I started with them shortly after.
I have a background in television, finance, and management. My hobbies and interests include cooking, art, camping, fishing, and spending as much time as possible enjoying life with my family.
My eclectic skill-set adds value to iAutoAgent® and to each customer considering experiencing the amazing service provided by the iAutoAgent® team.

Susie Duggan, Car Concierge
My name is Susie and I am responsible for assisting the sales team in getting vehicles to & from inspections, detailing & maintenance appointments and from sales appointments. I also take photos and videos for the website when needed. I was introduced to Jay Grosman at a networking meeting and was instantly in awe of the iAutoAgent program.
Born and raised in the St. Louis area, I operated one of the first restaurant delivery services in the country to deliver food from any restaurant, for 28 years. During that time I had purchased many, many, many delivery vehicles and wish I had met Jay & iAutoAgent back then. I especially believe that iAutoAgent is the perfect answer for any man or woman seeking to purchase or sell a vehicle. Jay’s experience in automobile sales & the inner workings of the sales process makes me feel safe that any vehicle he puts his stamp of approval on is the best vehicle and the best price for me!

Allison Knaup, Business Development Agent
My name is Allison Knaup and I am the Business Development contact for the fleet division of iAutoAgent®! I am the face in the community, ready to meet small business owners who want to discover how iAutoAgent can manage their fleet needs; buying or selling, or through our Done For You program.
I came to iAutoagent® because I believe so strongly in this model and what it can do for the everyday consumer and business owner. For over a decade I was thrilled to buy and sell cars in the private sellers space, never wanting to engage in that process with dealers/dealerships. Here, I get to incorporate my strengths of meeting others, being social, and building relationships.
My wide scope of interests often lead me to nature. I can be found hiking, kayaking, sitting with a coffee or smoothie watching a river go by. Even better if I have a good book in my hand. Always up for a great adventure; often called road-trips, sometimes a train to Chicago, an escape to the Northwoods of Wisconsin, exploring a city abroad, a chance trip to live my vision of working with children in Africa.
