I am born and raised in the Tampa area. I am a huge Tampa Bay Lightning and Rays fan. My number one goal for each and every one of my clients is to help them achieve every goal that they have, and make sure that they are 110 percent satisfied and happy. I started selling cars because of one specific time that my mom was not taken car of at a dealership. Since then, I set out to make sure that not only her, but anyone that I personally took care of, would never have to endure that. I set out to be fast, fair, and efficient with a no pressure environment.

Other than my interest rate being a little high with over an 800 score, it was a good experience. Everyone was nice. Jon bought my daughter snacks from the vending machine with his own money, that definitely More
