After seeing that there were no immediate opportunities to move up at Cronic I accepted a Finance Director Position from my previous GM, John Bratton and managed a Finance Dept. of 4 for the Primary and Secondary finance team.

Contracted customers prime and subprime for the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and used car dept.

Also, contracted GMC and Buick customers.

I took over lead finance from another contractor that had been there for years.

• After my GSM was promoted as GM of the Bill Heard of Union City store I accepted his offer of finance director to run his finance department.

High volume store where I was promoted to my first Finance Management position in the auto Industry.

I was one of 4 finance contractors for Primary Credit Dept., Leasing and Commercial side.

I was in college at the time and trying to figure out a career. I responded to a training ad from my hometown car dealership, Bill Heard Chevrolet. It was a small graduating class that would be hired on with the sales team. I was quickly moving through sales and learning. I gravitated towards the finance dept. and aggravated the finance directors for a shot at finance which I received after 6 moths of selling.
