• While employed with Central Market I went to automotive school, at night. I wanted to get out of the food service industry, I worked in several shops, and finally found my niche in the parts stores (Oreilly's and Auto Zone). Although part-time I learned a lot, starting at counter sales, them migrating to the commercial side of the business. I had been a driver first so I knew most of the people/owners in the shops, so when they would call in for parts they already had a face to the name. Consistency, honesty, integrity, and genuinely wanting to be the best at what I was doing, has taken me light years.
