Hello! I am John Zale. I am 28 years old. I was born and raised in Valparaiso, IN. I have sold cars for five years. I was a Certified Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram salesman through college. After college, I was a manufacturer's representative for Weber grills. As much fun as it was to be a travelling salesman, I missed being home every night and building a reputation in my own neighborhood! I'm proud to represent Mazda in Valparaiso as a Master Certified Salesman. If you'd give me a chance, I'd love to earn your business!
