I'm a military brat born in Wiesbaden, Germany but grew up in Miami, FL. I've been part of the automotive industry for 10+ years but recently retired from a government job. My goal for every person, not just customer who comes into our dealership is to treat them like family and make it an easy and enjoyable experience.
