COLUMBUS, Ohio -

In addition to Columbus Fair Auto Auction's Chuck Dearing’s decision to enter semi-retirement, CFAA announced Thursday that it has appointed new directors of company operations and dealer sales.

After 20 years with the company, CFAA general manager Chuck Dearing will take on a sales role requiring him to travel around the central Ohio area, according to CFAA.

Meanwhile, CFAA has promoted Jeff Baerga to its director of operations post, and Josh Koronich has been appointed the director of dealer sales.

“We are always looking to promote from within our own ranks when the opportunity presents itself,” CFAA president Greg Levi said in a news release. “To have the talent level we have is a real plus, and we’re excited to move forward with our team members in these new positions.”

Most recently, Baerga served as CFAA director of dealer sales and has performed a variety of operational roles during his four years with the auction.

Koronich, who replaces Baerga as CFAA director of dealer sales, has spent three years with the auction.

He most recently served as auction strategic account manager, having already spent time in different sales roles.
