Gerald Messer, born and raised in Moberly, Missouri, has been a cornerstone of the Heartland CDJR service team since 2020. With training in industrial, agricultural, and automotive technology, Gerald brings a wide range of expertise to the shop. He’s been in the industry since 2005 and has always had a knack for figuring out how things work—and even more satisfaction in fixing what’s broken.
Known for his leadership, humor, and drive to stay busy, Gerald is the kind of guy who tackles every challenge head-on and still manages to crack a joke while doing it. He thrives on the variety of vehicles that come through the shop, and no two days are ever the same—just the way he likes it.
Outside of work, Gerald lives for the outdoors, riding his motorcycle, and chasing new adventures. (If the weather stayed sunny and 60, he’d probably never stop riding.) But above all else, his heart belongs to his family. Gerald’s blended crew is his world and keeps life exciting: his children—Renee, Damion, Hope, and Autumn Messer—and the love of his life, Jennifer Patton, along with her daughters, Macy and Marley Morrow.
Hardworking, hands-on, and always ready with a one-liner, Gerald brings skill and spirit to everything he does—on and off the clock.
