WESTERVILLE, Ohio – The combined entity of National Auto Care Corp. and Family First Dealer Services, an administrator of vehicle service contract and ancillary products and programs, announced this week the appointment of Ryan Schumacher to vice president of finance. He will report to Tony Wanderon, CEO of NAC and FFDS.

Schumacher, who earned a degree in mathematics from the University of North Carolina, will lead many of the financial management initiatives underway “in preparing the company for growth,” officials said. He comes to NAC and FFDS with more than six years of experience in financial management at Jacksonville, Fla.-based Allstate Dealer Services, where he was responsible for financial forecasting and analysis, expense management, and financial modeling.

“Ryan brings a wealth of knowledge in the insurance industry to our company and our partners,” said Wanderon. “His experience in the financial management of administrators and their underwriters will play a key role in our acquisition activity in the F&I space.”

Christine Schrank, president of NAC, added: “We are excited to add Ryan to the team.  Ryan’s clear understanding and history of delivering strong operating results will be a great asset to our organization.”
