The result is, he knows how to help customers find the right car with the least amount of hassle.
    Before the car business Steve was a project manager with a local software development company, licensed life and health insurance producer, licensed optician and accountant.
    Three young adults call him Dad, all living in different states from Maine to California but Steve's remained true to his native Vermont where he was born, raised and educated. Among other things, he loves Lake Champlain, music, animals and an aged glass of Cabernet.

  • Brian Gamache
    Audi Sales
    1-802-861-3454

    I have been with Audi South Burlington since April of 2011. I am a lifelong resident of Vermont. I have been in the automotive industry for over 12 years and have experience with many fine automobiles such as BMW, Mercedes Benz, Land Rover, Porsche and Saab. I have spent most of my career in sales with these manufacturers.
    I am married to my wonderful wife Jessica. We live in St. Albans with our two pets, Chief who is a 5 year old black lab mix and Minou, a 10 year old orange and white long hair cat. I attended Rice Memorial High School and graduated in 1998. I grew up in Burlington with my parents and older brother.
    In my spare time I love to drive, which is where my passion for cars comes from. I am also a gadget guy! Whether it's the latest iphone, laptop or other device that is shiny and lights up, I like it! That is why Audi is such a great fit for me. They are a blast to drive and they certainly fulfill my fixation on shiny things that light up and go fast. I enjoy grilling (especially for a crowd), and going out to restaurants. I love watching and playing many sports such as baseball, hockey and football. I also have fun going to sporting events such as a UVM hockey game, with my father or to the occasional Boston Red Sox game. I am an avid photographer (albeit amateur), I've even done a little wedding photography for a friend in the past.
    I look forward to growing with Audi South Burlington. I welcome and encourage you to stop in a see me anytime.
