Summary

Very Goal-oriented Sales / Finance manager committed to really moving the needle in a dealership. With 14 years of experience in the Automotive sales industry, I think I bring tons of experience and knowledge. Along with seasoned sales people, and a great following in a loyal customer base, by bringing those, I feel I would make an immediate impact. I have always ran exceptional PVR gross, weather it be front gross, or backend gross in F&I. I pride myself in being number ONE in either of those aspects. I think that comes from my competitive background in sports. I also feel that my competitive drive pushes others around me to be better, and as result, I push even harder the closer they get to me in PVR. Always Striving to be Number 1!
