As a sports enthusiast, I enjoy watching games and cheering on my favorite teams. My daughter is the light of my life, and I cherish every moment spent with her. I'm also a proud cat guy, with two feline companions named Ralph and Sully. I'm a big beach guy, and I love spending time by the ocean, soaking up the sun and enjoying the sound of the waves. My dream car is a Porsche 911, and I hope to own one someday. In my career, I've been in the business for 12 years, and I pride myself on being easy-going, laid-back, and not pushy. I believe in providing a relaxed and enjoyable experience for my customers, and I'm always here to help with any questions or concerns.

Our salesman Dakota, who we have bought a few cars from before, was great as usual. He got us to where we need to be payment wise and went above and beyond to work with us. More
