I started with Russ Darrow in 1980 and have really enjoyed my 43 years here. My goal is to create an experience for my customers that is going to bring them back when they are ready for a new vehicle. I'm married with 2 children and have 4 Grand Kids and soon to be 5 . I am an avid golfer, football lover, and car enthusiast. I own a 1973 Plymouth Cuda, which I bought in 1978. I invite you to come in and learn more about me. I look forward to helping you find your next vehicle!
