    I am a proud member of the Passamaquoddy tribe located near Princeton Maine. The St. Croix River (previously known as the Passamaquoddy River) serves as the USA/Canada International boundary.  The boundary cuts through the middle of the Passamaquoddy Tribes homeland.  The Passamaquoddy have occupied this watershed region for at least the past 600+ generations (12,000+ years).  I grew up in Washington County and attended Woodland High School and graduated from Maine Maritime Academy in 1995. I worked close to home to watch my two children grow. I have tried to instill my heritage and roots in the upbringing of Chynna who is now 15 years old and my son Georgie who is 12.  My two children love the outdoors and respect our heritage. We love to go fishing and love to grow a garden as there is nothing more rewarding then reaping what we have sown into the ground. We as a family love to be outdoors and doing things together. Every opportunity my children get to learn something about the great outdoors I give them the chance because they may never have the chance once they grow up and start working in the working world.

    Hi my name is Ryan Goodwin, I have been with the Berlin City Auto Group for 3 years and have a real passion for my customers and the products that we sell.  I grew up in Augusta and moved to Portland, ME to become a chef at one of Maine's finest restaurants, after a year of running the kitchen I realized that I needed to work with the public and be more hands on.  I joined the team not knowing anything about cars or the business and have become one of Berlin City's top producers!  I have a great customer following and referral base.  On my off time I love the outdoors fishing, hunting and I even write comic strips.
