I like walking my Bichon dog, named Truman, after work and on the weekends. I surf and that’s why I live 100 yards from the sand. I enjoy spending time with Natalie and my kids. Kyle is 28 and my youngest is 26. When I came here a decade ago I did Volvo and Saab only due to the company I worked for didn’t carry any other car-lines. I am now learning British and German cars and I’m falling in love with them. I have been selling parts over the phone for 35 years and I'm good to go for another 35!

I started in the car business at a Saab dealer in 1985.  We then took on Jaguar which at the time only had two cars in production. I stayed there until 2003.  Then I went to Infiniti. After that I went to Toyota for a few years before coming to SSF.

 

In my spare time I enjoy playing cards, golfing, hiking and hanging out with family and friends. 

 

My two girls keep me busy with soccer and volleyball games and practice.

Growing up in a family-owned Porsche repair shop, I developed a deep passion for anything and everything Porsche. I have spent over 15 years working under the hoods and getting greasy. The most recent years were also spent running the business aspect of the shop to help me transition into the third-generation owner. But life had a different path for me and lead me to SSF, where I am able to apply my knowledge and experience in a different aspect while maintaining my love for European cars, especially Porsche.
