I take a consultative approach to sales and find out as much as I can about my clients to best guide them to products to meet ALL their needs. I was born in Cleveland but moved to Florida at age 8 and grew up in a small village, Melbourne Beach. I graduated from the University of Florida -- a BIG Gator fan -- and have an MBA from Northern Illinois University. I have also lived in Denver (5 yrs), Chicago (11 yrs), Los Angeles (1.5 yrs) and now San Francisco (since 2008). I live in The City with my Toy Fox Terrier, Peanut. We like to roam the parks and beaches throughout the Bay Area. I love to travel, with much of that time dedicated to visiting my family (Mom & Dad, 2 sisters, 1 brother, 3 in-laws and 14 nieces and nephews). Come visit me at Serramonte Ford. Almost all my deals end with hugs (virtual hugs for now)...and could you not use a hug (virtual or otherwise) right about now?

Made appt to see new car, dealer sent confirmation, when I arrived the salesman who offered to show me the car was unavailable and the car was sold. I live out of the area so this was a real effort. Suggest I arrived the salesman who offered to show me the car was unavailable and the car was sold. I live out of the area so this was a real effort. Suggest working with a different sales person from Seth Banko because his demonstrated concerns do not include the buyer. More
