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.

Alan and Wendy were great to work with and was very detailed in the information we needed to know and questions that we had asked regarding leasing considering this was our first time. Our Son loves the car and really enjoyed spending time in the kids area and having popcorn and lemonade while we signed the paperwork. Thanks Cedar Rapids Toyota! More

Well done. They helped us order exactly the vehicle we needed, a 2018 Camry hybrid, with optional extra safety features of the blind spot monitor & rear cross tr They helped us order exactly the vehicle we needed, a 2018 Camry hybrid, with optional extra safety features of the blind spot monitor & rear cross traffic monitor. My only quarrel would be with the Toyota factory in that we couldn't get just the options we wanted. The factory added a couple more options at about $2,000 additional price before they would build it. On the other hand, since the dealership did not have exactly what we wanted on their lot they offered and sold us the vehicle at their cost, about $2,000 below the Manufacturer's suggested retail price for the Camry as equipped. We're very much enjoying our new Camry and it's mileage of close to 50 miles per gallon. More
