Austin Pugmire - General Manager
phone: 770-952-2261

I was born in Atlanta at Northside Hospital in 1975. My grandfather, John W. Pugmire, founded our company in 1960 in downtown Atlanta. In the early 70’s he moved it to Cobb County where our business has expanded to two dealerships.

I graduated from the Westminster School in Atlanta in 1993. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Agribusiness from the University of Georgia in 1997 and was awarded my Master of Forestry Resources degree from UGA the following year.

After spending three years as a timber buyer, I joined Pugmire Lincoln Mercury as a salesperson. Over the course of six years, I have held positions of Sales Manager, General Sales Manager and currently, General Manager. I have a wife of ten years and three young daughters.
