I grew up in Perry, Ohio, and after high school I joined the US Navy.  Once my service in the Navy was completed I entered civilian life and began selling automobiles.  Twenty five years later I am still in the business and  now have the privilege of serving as the General Manager of this dealership. I  enjoy spending time with my wife and  two sons who are currently  in college at Akron University and Kent State University.  Thankfully, "our girls", the Labradoodles, are at home with us and will need no further education.

Having entered the automotive industry at the ripe age of 21, it is the only career I have ever known. Almost 13 years later and I've held just about every position in the Sales aspect of the business, from Salesman to General Manager. When I am not trying to put dreams in driveways I am usually spending my free time with my beloved chocolate Labrador, MJ. Aside from the love for my puppy; I also enjoy a plethora of sports related hobbies: I am an avid follower of professional and collegiate football and basketball, enjoy attending Cavs games more than any other sporting event, and I have even spent my free time writing sports articles and hosting a football radio podcast for an entire year. I also partake in graphic design when I have the time; which was self-taught. Spending time with my family is most important to me, but passion for my career continues to grow as time progresses. 

Being the son of a Navy Corpsman, I grew up in 5 different cities before settling in Ashtabula as a young teenager.  I have been married for almost three years, and recently bought a home here in Ashtabula.  In my spare time I enjoy attending Cleveland Indians games, playing ping-pong with my father, and spending time with my family.

The automotive industry is my vocation and I have been here for 29 years, having done everything from technician to manager,   but music has always been my passion.  I have been playing musical instruments since the age of four.  I was the lead guitar player in two professional bands for 19 years, first with Slingshot, then with Shotgun.  I play the guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, and drums.

Along with making music, I enjoy hunting and fishing when time allows.  My wife and I have four children and three grandchildren that are our pride and joy.  Time with the family is the most important aspect of my life.
