I was the Used Car Sales Manager at Chapman for over ten years and I also did sales and marketing for one of the valley's premiere home builders for ten years.

I grew up the youngest of nine children on my father's dairy farm in Dubuque, IA. At age 12, my father and mother retired from farming and became "Snowbirds" and so did I. That is how I ended up in Arizona. Upon graduating from high school in Mesa, I applied for my first job with Ford as a pricing clerk in parts department.
That was long before computers became an everyday necessity. I worked my way into management in 2000 and have been managing a Ford Parts Department ever since. I am easy-going, fun loving and some say spoiled (has to do with the youngest part above) but my first goal is customer satisfaction and retention.
My hobbies include riding my Harley and Boating with friends and family.
