Personal Note

My hobbies have taken a back seat the past few years with all the involvement I have in the Auto Industry, Family and Church. I have missed them but know the sacrifice is worth it. I enjoy spending time with my family and working on improving the image of our industry. It has been my personal goal for a long time to change the image of our industry so we can all have the respect we so deserve.

I also have a personal goal of raising children that know and honor our God. He is the “key” to success and I want them to know that all the accolades in the world will never “make” them who they are.

“Success is a journey, not a destination.”
