Summary

My objective is to obtain a challenging and rewarding position in a growth-oriented organization which offers diverse job responsibilities that will allow for personal growth, career advancement, and allow me to utilize my knowledge of the automotive industry to benefit both parties. I'm proud to have worked with several reputable and accomplished companies such as Piercey Automotive, CAR Group (Norm Reeves), Asbury Automotive, and now RML. Spending my first 18 years with Honda, I've transitioned to my previous competitor, Toyota. Spending the first 15 years of my career in a very competitive and lucrative CA market has allowed me to flourish in another very competitive and lucrative TX market.
