- Blue
- Greeter
- blue at planetsubaru.com 781-826-4444
Blue was born in Muncie, Indiana and resides in Weymouth. He's a Silver Lab, and looks kinda brown, so don't ask us why his companion, Planet co-owner Dale Lathrop, named him "Blue."
Most everybody asks if he is a Weimarainer, but he is in fact a Labrador Retriever. He always maintains a pawsitive attitude about his job, even after a ruff day trying to find people who will throw a ball for him. He doesn't bite but he does have a Licker License, and he's not afraid to use it, especially if you smell like peanut butter. Oh, and his favorite car is the Outback waggin'.

- Subaru Technician
- Nate was born in Quincy and now lives in Pembroke.He is is extremely tight with his two brothers after overcoming adversity together as kids. He treasures those relationships so much that he feels sorry for anyone who is an only child!Nate loves to play basketball. At 5'7", you might have pegged him as a point guard, but during his school days he played power forward because he could leap with the big guys. He brings that same work ethic to the shop floor--he passes on lunch and insists on fast breaks. After he works on your car, we promise you'll give him a good score!

Fortunately he has a great sense of humor. His friends call him Brownie.He earned his degree in electrical engineering from Fairmont State University in West Virginia, and retired from a career in IT. That makes him the perfect person to do our long road trips because he's used to everything being backed up. He knows all about hard drives. He gets great fuel economy, too, because he doesn't use the air conditioning--he just opens up Windows.He's a dad to two college-age kids and loves to golf, drum, garden, and cook.

Scott is a native of Marshfield and still lives there with his two boys, who are seventeen months apart in age, and close enough in size to lead the casual observer to think that they are twins. He insists they never fight. Ever.
Yeah, right.Scott has a bachelor's degree in management from Northeastern University. Like so many others on the Planet team, we recruited him from outside the car business so we wouldn't have to break any bad habits. Before joining Planet, Scott worked at one financial company for 23 years, in software support. We predict that he'll be around to help you with your next Subaru, and eventually your kid's car too!

His favorite auto joke goes like this: A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."
Anthony drives a Subaru Impreza with a six-cylinder engine that he installed himself, perhaps the only one of its kind because Subaru never built an Impreza with that many cylinders.

Of course they're not identical twins, but they share a special bond, including eerily similar scars on their chins and left knees that they acquired horsing around as kids. Neither was born at the time Planet Subaru opened in 1998, which makes many of us feel old, especially his father, Parts Conductor Steve Crosby, who is now Evan's boss!Evan has a striking tattoo on his right arm that features a mythical fusion of a red panda and a wolf, likely the only one of its kind in the world.Evan drives a Subaru BRZ, very slowly, lest he pass his dad on the way home.
