I have been in the auto industry and lithia for 18 years. I have lived all over the US and I am proud to call Alaska my home since 2015. I am originally from Tri-cities WA where I was born and raised. I enjoy hunting, fishing, boating, and any adventure that gets me outdoors. I love how the car business lets me meet new customers daily and connect to our community.
