In 2008, I realized that I needed to make a career change. I spent the previous 19 years in the restaurant industry, and the long hours were really beginning to take their toll. After applying for a job at Don Ayres, I was immediately impressed with the company’s family-friendly approach to business. Everyone welcomed me to the dealership, something that I pass along to our new employees. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Melissa, and our Weimaraner, Remington Steele (Remy). We also enjoy boating in our vintage Correct Craft. I enjoy helping customers not only at time of purchase, but later on down the line when questions arise on how to use their new vehicle's technology (I'm a bit of a tech geek)!

Andy is literally the only person I've bought cars from in the last 10 years. Appreciate you and your friendship. Maybe Don Ayres could use me for a sales commercial. 😂 in the last 10 years. Appreciate you and your friendship. Maybe Don Ayres could use me for a sales commercial. 😂 More
