    Hello, and thank you for taking time to check me out.

    I am 100% Michigan born & raised and have lived in Kalamazoo since 1986, raising 2 children. I’m passionate about the outdoors and health & fitness. I love to travel and even lived in Mexico for a year. My favorite activities are bicycling, hiking and camping. My creative outlet is in the kitchen. I love making a meal, then watching folks enjoy! A little known fact about me is that I was once hired to cater a private party for the Governor.

    My professional history has always involved serving others. I’ve spent over 20 years in business-to-business sales and service. My career in the car business began, and will end with Toyota. I’ve said before, I’ll never sell another brand and I’ll never work under another dealer banner. And never is a pretty long time… I hope. I have a great team of associates and THE BEST vehicles in the industry.

    It would be an honor to serve you on your next vehicle purchase.
