A native of Wilmington, Delaware, I attended Saint Mark's High School and the University of Delaware followed by a program in Arizona for Professional Golf Course Management. After graduation, I returned home to begin my career in the golf industry at Concerd Country Club, but the cold winters quickly had me wanting to return to Arizona where I was an assistant golf professional at The Boulders Club and Resort in Scottsdale. Within 3.5 years I graduated from PGA of America as a Class A Professional. Later, the birth of my daughter would have me, again, return home. I completed my career in golf working for the Golf Channel running amateur tournaments in the Philadelphia region. Certainly, a rewarding and exciting career with the game, and professional customer service! But it was time for something fresh, a new challenge... Car Sales! I look forward to utilizing my 20+ years of customer service working to find you the perfect new car!
