I was voted 2017 -2020 Best Car Salesperson by the Freeport Journal! I was born-and-raised here in Freeport and I have a beautiful wife and two great children. I have been selling cars for the last 39 years and have loved every second of it. I enjoy meeting new people and working hard to ensure that they are completely satisfied with their Vehicle purchase. I'm very involved in the community and serve as a member of Kiwanis International, Knights of Columbus, Eagles Club, Kiwanis and Elks Club. Contact me if you are looking for a great car buying experience!

Nils Sandstrom was very helpful finding me the right vehicle. The car I went to test drive did not work out. He showed me a much better option. Love my "new" Jeep Grand Cherokee! More
