I’ve been in the car business since 2007, spending about 17+ years at a Ford dealership before making the switch to J.H. Barkau and Sons. My time with Ford taught me a ton about helping folks find the right ride, whether it’s a brand-new model or a trusty used vehicle. Now at J.H. Barkau and Sons, I’m excited to bring that experience to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. I pride myself on providing an exceptional customer experience, ensuring each customer feels valued and confident in their purchase. I’m all about making sure you feel great about your choice and enjoy the car-buying process.
