Born in Peoria IL and relocated to Cedar Rapids in 97’ with my wife Myrna, we started our family. Jasmine is now 26 and Jacob is 19 so you can imagine never a dull moment at our house. For pets, I have 2 aquatic turtles that beg for food whenever I am near the 55 gal tank that is stocked with several oversized Goldfish that now resemble Koi. My other pastime pleasure is cooking and thanks to my very thoughtful wife Myrna who bought me a smoker, I have acquired a love for smoked meats adding a layer to my waist line if you know what I mean. I have always been focused on taking care of customers and the last 19+ years I have spent in the car industry working on this 1 customer at a time. I take pride in having the privilege of running our internet team and being able to change the perception of how easy and hassle free a car buying experience can really be. A big THANK YOU to all my past customers and look forward to assisting all the future ones.

Best Purchasing Experience in My Life I have never purchased a Toyota vehicle in my many years of purchasing vehicles.

I've owned nearly 30 cars and trucks in my lifetime, including one or more from each of the other major manufacturers. I purchased my first when I was 17, and now, just after my 88th. birthday, I'm purchasing my most recent, a 2020 Toyota Camry Hybrid. I was happy with the experience from first searching the Cedar Rapids Toyota online inventory, to contacting the dealership about the vehicle I was interested in, through the process of agreeing on a trade difference, and ending with the delivery of my Camry Hybrid to my doorstep.. The sales person, Alan, exceeded my expectations in every way, especially in being willing to close the deal and exchange my trade-in at my home, some distance from the dealership (in view of my age and the current coronavirus danger). I'm sure Cedar Rapids Toyota will be my first choice the next time that I'm in the market for a new or used vehicle. More
