Born in Peoria IL and relocated to Cedar Rapids in 97’ with my wife Myrna, we started our family. Jasmine is now 24 and Jacob is 16 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.

Fantastic.....As Expected This is the second time I have worked with both Alan and Curt. And just like my prior experience, buying my new RAV today was super easy, extremely This is the second time I have worked with both Alan and Curt. And just like my prior experience, buying my new RAV today was super easy, extremely pleasant and painless. Having returned to Iowa six years ago I have long remarked to friends and family that I would never buy from anyone else. Why would I? They make buying a new car enjoyable. Having purchased many other Toyotas in many other states, i would put Alan, and Curt at the top of my list....the best representatives of the Toyota brand I have ever worked with More
