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.

Happy with the long relationship we’ve had with Cedar Rapids Toyota, particularly Alan and also Wendy. Only wish it hadn’t taken so long to get my car but that was not the fault of the local dealership More

We appreciate your years of repeat business and when your next lease comes around the supply chain should correct itself and not be such a wait. Alan

Went in to drive a specific 4Runner, Alan was very helpful and accommodating. Ended up getting the 4Runner, and Alan and the rest of the team were quick, friendly and professional. More

The process in which it took for me to finalize this purchase was immensely stressful and seemingly hazy + unfair. However, I thought that the price was assigned appropriately and in the end, I was able More
