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.

I was assisting my mother in this purchase and with my extremely busy schedule was able to mostly only text and email Alan her interests and likes and dislikes. He was very understanding and patient with what worked best for myself in managing the transaction and my mother in meeting her automobile needs. One of the very best salesman and dealership that I have ever worked with. We even found a small flaw in the interior that Alan is already following up on. Highly satisfied in our outcome and her purchase. Would definitely purchase from him again! More

No Pressure Alan was very helpful and did not pressure me when making my final purchasing decision. I visited at least three times and he was very patient with me Alan was very helpful and did not pressure me when making my final purchasing decision. I visited at least three times and he was very patient with me each time. I was undecided as to what model or brand that I wanted to replace my car with and allowed me to test drive several vehicles, new and used, on the lot. Thank you to Mercedes to suggesting that I work with Alan, he was wonderful! Thanks Alan! More
