In 2008, I realized that I needed to make a career change. I spent the previous 19 years in the restaurant industry, and the long hours were really beginning to take their toll. After applying for a job at Don Ayres, I was immediately impressed with the company’s family-friendly approach to business. Everyone welcomed me to the dealership, something that I pass along to our new employees. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Melissa, and our Weimaraner, Remington Steele (Remy). We also enjoy boating in our vintage Correct Craft. I enjoy helping customers not only at time of purchase, but later on down the line when questions arise on how to use their new vehicle's technology (I'm a bit of a tech geek)!

Never once in the car buying process did I feel pressu I specifically went to this dealer due to my family's history with its easy-going sales agents. Never once in the car buying process did I feel pressured, which is quite important for such a large purchase. I would highly recommend this dealership for anyone who is usually intimidated by the excessive bureaucracy at other dealerships that may hinder the car buying process. All in all, the whole experience felt very personal and suited to my preferences. More
