I use over two decades of experience to foster relationships, build trust and grow market footprints for companies in the automotive industry. I have a passion for interpersonal relationships and problem solving. Outside of business, you can find me spending time with my wife and children, visiting new places, cheering for my favorite sports teams, and grilling with friends.
