Currently a top producer who goes above and beyond his job description to make the Dealership, the Service Department  and his co-workers more successful. Brings a positive attitude to work everyday even in these challenging times. Customers, Techs and Service Advisors see that attitude and respond in a positive manner through a customer spending more money to an Advisor asking for that additional sale.
