Summary

I fell in love with the car business from my first sale. Coming off of struggling and playing a few years on the professional golf mini tours I didn't know what life had in store for me. The car business landed in my lap like it did for many of us, and from my first sale it just resonated in me. I knew from that moment that I wanted to go as far as I could take myself in the business and that is to the top. I believe in hard work and dedication and I feel that I have exemplified that over the last 19 years. I would love the opportunity to take my knowledge to the next level.
