"Back in the day!" I find myself using this saying more and more. My Dad was a Ford Dealer for 40 years and I grew up surrounded by the sights and sounds of the auto business. It has been a life long career for me as I started selling Fords right out of high school in 1975. I love the interaction with people that have their hearts set on acquiring a new or pre-owned vehicle and all it requires to make it happen for them professionally and easily. I love the outdoors,classic cars,Harley motorcycles,dinner out,hunting. But most importantly I'm grounded in my faith and I love family and all that means. These things have served me well over the years and makes my job at Briarwood Ford a real enjoyment.
