Dealer Principal
I began my career in the automotive dealer world in 2011 with Chevrolet. Like many great opportunities, it was unexpected and unplanned—much like most of my career path. I started selling Chevrolets because I was a “car guy,” but I quickly learned that true success in this business requires passion, focus, and commitment to the brand, and most importantly, to the customer. In retail, the customer is always number one. While I sell cars by trade, this is ultimately a people business.
Unlike many in the industry, I did not come from a family with a background in automotive retail. My mother was a nurse aid, and my father is a truck driver. In 2011, I visited a Chevrolet dealership in Cincinnati, Ohio, to purchase a Chevy Silverado. During that experience, I fell in love with the role of the salesperson who was helping me buy my truck. The professionalism—wearing a shirt and tie, working directly with clients, and representing a respected brand—stood out to me. At the time, I was a six-year employee at Kroger, working on the docks.
Motivated by that experience, I applied for a career at every Chevrolet dealership in Cincinnati over the course of several months. In the fall of 2011, I began my career selling Chevrolets. I remained in that role until the fall of 2017, when, at the age of 26, I was promoted to New Chevrolet Sales Manager at a dealership in Cincinnati, Ohio.
In March 2022, at age 30, I became the Dealer Principal of Chevrolet of Troy. At the time, I was the youngest first-generation Chevrolet Dealer Principal in the United States. Today, I am driven by a deep commitment to serving both our customers and our staff with pride, integrity, and passion.
I look forward to meeting you, and I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read and consider my story.
