I am excited to be part of the Southern Acura Newport News team. I have been assisting customers and associates in the retail automotive business in Hampton Roads for over 40 years. I also have an extensive background with Acura and Honda and look forward to continuing to serve all my past clients and friends as well as the opportunity to assisting many more. I am originally from Upstate NY, but I have lived in Williamsburg and the surrounding area since 1984. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. When weather and time allow, you will likely find us boating on the James River. Please allow our team and me to assist you with your automotive needs. I understand you can go anywhere and I assure you fairness, honesty, and professionalism always.

You have to wait two hours plus to get your car inspected because they seem to schedule a lot of cars at the same time. They don’t answer the phones so it is frustrating. More
