I have been in automobile sales for 10 years. Prior to that, I served in the U.S. Navy. As a sailor, I was an Operations Specialist assigned to a Combat Operations Center. I have always had love for cars even as a child, and right after the Navy, a family member recommended the car business. I fell in love with the business and helping people, especially fellow veterans and active service members. I enjoy seeing my customers reactions when they get into their new car, that they are taking home for the first time.
