He has previously volunteered coaching youth soccer and hockey in Brandon and currently volunteers at the McDiarmid Drive Alliance church.

A Manitoba Enthusiast with a Passion for Quality Vehicles

Hello, everyone! I'm Doug Martens, born in Winnipeg and raised in Brandon, and I've spent most of my life right here in Manitoba.

While I explored a couple of business opportunities out west, my heart always brought me back to this beautiful province. Family is a big part of my life; my wife and I are proud parents of five children and now have the joy of five granddaughters aged 1 to 7.

My professional journey began as an automotive and motorcycle technician, but my career quickly evolved into business and sales. Throughout it all, my love for the outdoors has been a constant. Hiking and camping are regular summer activities, and although I left road racing in 2012, you'll often find me riding my motorcycles, taking the long way home after work.

In winter, I enjoy snowmobiling with family and friends, and when the weather permits, I like to strap on snowshoes and explore the winter wonderland. Our Ridgeline has proven to be a fantastic companion, helping us find the deepest snow and keeping us warm and comfortable on our adventures.

I've always been impressed with the quality of Honda and Mazda vehicles, and it's a joy to share my stories with customers. My first Ridgeline was a 2006, purchased before I even worked for Honda, and since then, there's always been a Ridgeline in my driveway.

From towing our camper across Canada to traversing the US with the motorcycle race trailer, our family has had quite a few Honda vehicles, including Odyssey, Pilot, CR-Vs, Civics, and, of course, Ridgelines.

Working at a dealership that prioritizes quality and customer care is a pleasure. It allows me to stand behind the products I believe in. Here's to many more adventures on and off the road!

Cheers, Doug Martens

My name is Dylan Sawatzky. I grew up in Portage la Prairie and moved to Brandon in the fall of 2018 to start a new chapter. I’m the only boy in my family of four girls! I have had a passion for cars my entire life thanks to my Dad that shared his passion with me during my younger years. In my spare time I love being on the golf course, in the gym, spending time with my girlfriend, family, friends and more!

I am new to the Forman Honda sales team as of 2020 and could not be more excited!
