Robin Boggs

Dealer Ignitor

I was born and raised in Upstate, NY and though I live in the South now, I will always be a Yankee at heart. I attended college pursing a degree in Travel and Tourism and I moved to Orlando, Florida right after college to work for The Walt Disney Company, it doesn't get more touristy then that. I started with Disney working in the complaint department of the park, and yes people really do complain at the happiest place on earth. I had the pleasure of being a celebrity tour guide and met a lot of really great people and went into management after that. At the time, I was one of the youngest people, ever promoted into management. I had 9 incredible years with the company and enjoyed every minute of it.

I moved to South Carolina in 2001 to be closer to family and have worked with companies such as The Westin, Ideal HR Solutions, The Cliffs Communities and Proaxis Therapy. Shortly after moving here, I met my now husband and in December 2010, we were blessed with the most precious gift of all, a beautiful baby boy and he is our world!

At Dealer Ignition I work with dealers and brands to ensure they get all the help they need in successfully marketing their products online. Call me if you need anything, I am here to help! When not working, I enjoy being with my family and friends, being outdoors, eating great food and watching sports. I love baseball and football. GO YANKEES!!

Before igniting Marketing and Sales with Dealer Ignition, I have explored many avenues of business. From management and training development to most recently consulting for Think Up, my expertise lies in creating solutions, implementing them, and making them stick! Sign up for one of our webinars, so I can help you understand online marketing and other topics!

I am a die-hard Florida State Seminole, where I earned my BS in Business Marketing. And last fall, my husband and I were blessed with a baby girl, who is already on the waiting list for FSU.

My favorite past time is traveling ANYWHERE, but when I am not “on the road”, I call Greenville home. And since I am always on the lookout for the next challenge, I am also a residential Realtor with Coldwell Banker Caine. Please keep me in mind, if you know of anyone moving to the Upstate or if you need online marketing advice – I am here to help!

Visual Illuminator

I'm a designer. I'm all about visuals. I met Dealer Ignition as a student of design. Now having received a B.S. degree in Graphic Design, I now spend my professional time as a Dealer Ignition designer.

Design is everywhere. It's in the chairs you sit in and in the cell phone in your pocket. It's in the words of a book and in the art on your walls. Design isn't just visuals. Designs are ideas. The word design is really an awesome term. For me design is all about decisions. I'm always up for a new way of looking at things. My design ideas stem from their purposes, and my design philosophy is simple: make things say what you want them to say.

Joshua Bucinskas

Dealer Accelerator

I was born in Hollywood, Florida but most of my childhood was spent up north. I was transferred to Greenville, South Carolina ten years ago by the supplier I was working for and I haven't looked back since. For ten years I have been involved in many aspects of sales and marketing with startups and fortune five hundred companies. My career in sales has given me the opportunity to work with great companies like UPS, Hydro One, Franklin Covey, iTradeFX, and Yell Group.

As a Dealer Accelerator I help dealers navigate the swiftly evolving complexities of marketing online. Your presence online is the equivalent to your physical storefront. At Dealer Ignition I make sure your sign shines brightly and that your customers stay engaged. If you have questions contact me and find out why so many others enjoy working with Dealer Ignition.

When I'm not working with dealers I enjoy cooking and spending time with friends and family. You can also find me in the wood shop or on the rugby pitch banging it up with the Greenville Griffins Rugby Team.

Lindsey McMillion

Lead Fire Starter

Born in Columbia, Maryland and raised a Cal Ripken Jr. Baltimore Orioles fan, I moved to Charlotte, North Carolina in the early nineties and lived there through high school. I graduated from Clemson University where I earned a BS in Graphic Communications and a BA in Spanish with a Business minor. And in case you’re wondering: Yes, I bleed orange!

Post college, I packed up and moved to Annapolis, MD to begin selling printing and marketing solutions. My experience in implementing integrated marketing campaigns, developing brand identity standards, and managing clients in an array of industries, has allowed me to build a solid foundation early in my sales career. I am results-driven and a multi-tasker at heart who loves managing many relationships and projects at once.

Now with Dealer Ignition in Greenville, South Carolina, I’m tasked with leading this stellar team to new enterprise partner opportunities. I love working with people who understand we have to think outside of the box and be open to learning something new each day. Outside of work, I enjoy being with my friends and family, traveling, running, eating and being creative.

“Smiling Faces. Beautiful Places”. You can call me a true South Carolina girl. I was born in Charleston, SC, raised in Greenville, SC and am in my final semester at Clemson University to earn a B.S. in Marketing. Through my experiences with Clemson’s iSell Program, as a board member with Central Spirit (Clemson’s premiere athletics organization), and as a retail associate, I had lots of fun and developed sales, management and organization skills that help me contribute to Dealer Ignition's success.

Dealer Ignition is keeping me busy during my internship! I’ve been recently appointed as Queen of Social Media, so come see me on Facebook or Twitter when you get the chance. I am also your gateway to online marketing gurus if you need online-marketing advice. Call me with any questions or suggestions; I’m here for you.

When I hang up my social media crown at the end of the day, I enjoy painting wine bottles (and other random materials), reading, spending time with family and friends, and catching up on Clemson Tiger news (Go Tigers!)

Code Artist

I create—whether it’s the software I write or the sandwich I eat for lunch, I am intent on creating beauty. I have plied my skills at multiple startups and now am bent on energizing Dealer Ignition—all while finishing my Computer Science degree. I’ve grown up in Greenville, SC. Always precocious, I love learning and changing things. When not at school or work, you can find me behind a book, a computer screen, or a piano; tearing it up on a soccer or football field; creating the next big thing; or scheming world-dominance. I am also slightly crazy.
