What inspired you to get into sales? “My love for vehicles has always been about how every car is truly unique — from its design to how it fits different people’s lives. I love meeting new people and making real connections, helping them find that perfect vehicle that fits their needs and lifestyle. It’s not just about selling a car; it’s about matching someone with something they’ll love and rely on every day. That passion for both cars and people is what keeps me excited about this job.”
What’s your favorite car model of all time and why? “My favorite has to be the 1989 Ford F-150. It wasn’t about the specs or the style — it was about the memories. My dad and I worked on one together when I was a kid, and those hours under the hood meant more than I realized at the time. It’s where I learned patience, problem-solving, and how much pride you can take in something you build with your own hands. That truck will always have a special place in my heart.”
What’s a funny or memorable moment you’ve had working here? “I don’t have one specific moment that stands out, but honestly, that’s what I love about this job — every single day is different. You never know who you’re going to meet, what stories you’ll hear, or what wild trade-in someone’s going to pull up in. It definitely keeps things interesting, and there’s never a dull moment.”
Do you and your family have any hobbies or activities you enjoy doing together? “Definitely! Most of our time revolves around the kids — whether it’s weekend adventures, playing outside, building forts in the living room, or tackling messy art projects. We love finding fun things to do as a family, especially anything that keeps the kids active and laughing. It’s busy, it’s chaotic, and we wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
