Moved to the PNW in January 2018 from Iowa. Have lived in Salem, Seattle, and now Portland. Graduate from Iowa State University and have been in the car business since September 2010; very enjoyable to meet and work with customers to find the right car for them. I strive to provide a smooth, comfortable experience with honesty and clarity at the forefront of my actions. Buying a car should be a fun experience!! On my off time I enjoy traveling this beautiful area with my standard poodle, Maggie. I welcome the opportunity to assist you in your search.
