My journey to the auto industry was a short distance and a long hike. I spent the first 15 years of my career in the equipment business- in sales, service, parts, management, and eventually, distribution and OEM management- and at some point decided I wanted to plant my feet in my community and in a similar and meaningful industry. Creating value by solving problems, and developing relationships based on mutual trust and respect have always been my primary goals, and I wake up every day excited to do that at Pine Belt Motors. Off the clock, I spend most of my time writing and playing music, reading, and when I can, diving offshore and traveling as far and often as possible.
