Started off as a Volvo Technician in 2004. In 2005 I joined the Paul’s Volvo Sales team as a Master Salesperson till August 2019. Joined Smythe Volvo in September 2019. My 14 years of Sales Experience have taught me to listen more to the customers’ needs and then answer these needs directly. As a product of Dale Carnegie training, winning friends & influencing people is a core concept of my Sales process. Understanding my customer’s point of view helps me to answer their vehicle needs/wants effectively.

We’re delighted Tyler made your July purchase of a used Mazda CX-5 both efficient and stress-free. It’s wonderful to hear the CX-5’s features and performance have lived up to your expectations. Kevin enjoyed meeting you and we’ll be sure the entire team knows how much you appreciated their help. Enjoy!
