In addition to serving as Central JDFS Representative covering Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, Zeller will manage Advantage Funding’s vocational truck market in Texas and Oklahoma. “I’m excited to start building long-term, profitable relationships with the market’s more than 100 OEM dealers and leading retailers,” he said.

Prior to joining Advantage Funding, Zeller spent eight years with Capital One Auto Finance, helping to position the company as a leading lender across all credit segments of the consumer market. While there, he led top-performing sales teams and also served as Digital Product Manager. Zeller graduated with a B.S. in Management and a B.A. in Spanish from Binghamton University in Binghamton, N.Y.
