I’m a 50-year-old professional with deep roots in family, faith, and the automotive industry. I’ve been married to my wonderful wife, Michelle Cantu, for over 25 years. We’re blessed with seven children and three grandchildren who are the heart of my life. I’ve been in the business since 1995 and proudly owned Vision Chrysler and Vision Collision Body Shop from 2011 to 2018. I was born and raised in Wauseon, Ohio, where I learned the value of hard work and dedication. Sports have always been a passion of mine — I boxed for over 17 years and am an avid fan of boxing, baseball, and football. You’ll always find me cheering for the Chicago Cubs and Dallas Cowboys. Above all, I’m a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. My faith guides me every day. In my free time, I enjoy playing Texas Hold’em and spending time with family and friends at The Faded Four Poker Club...
