* 15 Years of Finance Manager Experience
fell in love with the Car Business fifteen years ago. Never having stepped foot into a dealership, applied
to quite a few local dealers with no luck. didn't have any experience after all.
decided that needed to know the basics of the automotive industry, and sent myself to NADA school
in 2010. Shortly there after, started in Sales at a locally family-owned Dealership where my love for the
car business blossomed. was a Sales Associate for three years and have been in Finance since 2013.
My strong leadership skills, ability to communicate, attention to detail, and interpersonal relationships
with lenders has given me the skills to be a talented Finance Manager. am always looking for new
ways to learn and grow in this industry Besides, if you're not moving forward, sooner or later you'll start
moving backwards.
One of my favorite quotes from Vince Lombardi is
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
