Accomplishments
My proudest accomplishment is my family. I've been married for 24 years. My wife and I have 4 daughters.
As challenging as it can has been, we have three in college right now, and our youngest is a rising high school senior. My daughters are all very much involved in their schools, It's my hope that they will show an interest in the automobile business when they finish their schooling.
I am also very proud of the fact that I have been able to continue the business that my parents started almost 50 years ago. There have been several crisis times where the business could have failed, but together our team was able to keep it together.
