I’ve been in the automotive industry for over 22 years and proudly call Austin, Texas home. I’m married to my best friend and wife of over 22 years, and together we share our lives with our furry kids—Gizmo, Mia, and Mimzy. Outside of work, I enjoy running, swimming, golf, fitness, trading stocks, and spending time with family, especially hanging out with my mom, dad, nieces, and nephew. My favorite cars are all Mercedes-AMGs for their style and performance, and the Kia EV9 for its bold looks and cutting-edge technology.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the experience you've had. Please know that every vehicle we sell is checked by our service department prior to sale to ensure it meets our standards. Unfortunately, we can't control any issues that may arise after the sale, but we always recommend purchasing a vehicle service contract to protect your asset. We understand that it's a choice, and we respect that. We’ve been trying to reach you to offer our assistance in resolving the situation. We’d love the opportunity to help you, whether it’s getting you out of your current vehicle and into a different one or providing other support. Your satisfaction and business are very important to us, and we’re committed to showing you the level of customer service that we stand by. Please give us a chance to make things right!
