I am a Car Fanatic and have been for many years. I started out detailing cars when I was 13 years old. Worked my way up to backyard mechanic, Salesperson, Finance Manager, New car Manager, Used Car Manager and now I am an Internet Sales Manager. I love coaching baseball and training others to achieve bigger and better things in their lives. I enjoy all outdoor activities including going to the beach, surfing, baseball, softball, football, basketball, hiking, camping, fishing and most of all working out.
