I have been in the car business most of my life - I graduated from Oregon State University (long ago) and went to work for Nissan Motor Corp - at the time, the product was called Datsun. I spent 14 years with the Company (two years in Japan) and ended up being transfered to their National Headquarters in Los Angeles, CA. I progressed to the retail side of the business over the years and found a nice niche with BMW - selling as many as 500 new BMW's a year in California. I managed to progress to a management position and helped generate 500 to 700 vehicle sales per month. I finally managed to move back home to Oregon two years ago - it's nice to be back home with family.
