I transitioned to the automotive industry after 20 years in the insurance business. I've spent the last 8 years as a finance manager, but recently made the move back to sales. My wife and I are relatively new to Arizona since moving here from the Seattle area, and love spending my spare time as an avid cyclist and anything outdoors.
