I must have inherited my dad’s fascination with speed, his mechanical curiosity and sales ease; his fussy tinkering with engines led to a machine parts sales career and part time early Bugatti race car mechanic. His knowledge and inspiration pushed me off bike training wheels onto go-kart slicks . Together we shared a keen interest in finishing and winning. My business studies at Northeastern and love of all things automotive helped land my first job selling luxury sports cars in 1981. Today, I’m lucky enough to share racing thrills and performance boating with my three kids and fortunate enough to work with customers passionate about automotive quality in a professional and appreciative retail environment selling exceptional automobiles. I think my dad would approve.
