HIGHLAND, Mich. — Paul Jordan left a golf career to join auto retail. But he lasted in his first dealership job for just a few days; that’s because Mike LaFontaine intervened.
In 2005, LaFontaine, founder of southeast Michigan’s LaFontaine Automotive Group and Jordan’s neighbor at the time in Milford, Mich., noticed a license plate frame from a competing dealership on the vehicle in Jordan’s driveway.
