Army veteran living in Waukesha, with two kids. My daughter is a UW-Madison graduate, and my son is a Wisconsin Lutheran College graduate.. After 26 years in IT, including management, I made a career change in order to interact with & help other people. My vast personal background makes it easy to relate to all customers. I have chosen to work for a Kia dealership because I believe in their product. Kia brand awards recently earned speak volumes.
