As the Finance Director, I arrange financing and leasing for the purchase of Mercedes-Benz vehicles at Mercedes-Benz of St. Charles. I also arrange all the license and title work for every transaction. I make sure every transaction is legal, ethical, and correct. I am consistently in the top ranking numbers of Chicago area Mercedes-Benz dealers. I have designed and use my own Lease Software and Menu Presentation Software. These two tools have been a constant work in progress. I decided to teach myself how to develop these after I got frustrated at the vendors that would be slow to make the changes that I desired. Both products have helped me achieve solid numbers with solid presentation to my clients. As of March of 2021, I have started using DocuPad as a presentation tool. DocuPad Update: After 9 months of using DocuPad, my numbers have increased significantly and I have become proficient using the product. I look forward to using DocuPad the rest of my career!

As the Finance Director, I arrange financing and leasing for the purchase of Lexus vehicles at Lexus of Naperville. I also arranged all the license and title work for every transaction. I made sure every transaction was legal, ethical, and correct. During my time with Lexus, I started to develop my own Lease Software and Menu Presentation Software. I decided to teach myself how to develop these after I got frustrated at the vendors that would be slow to make the changes that I desired. I continuously improve these two products to this day.

As sales manager at Arlington Lexus, I wore many hats. New car inventory control, dealer trades, used car manager, used car inventory control, attended wholesale auctions to buy and sell inventory, and backed up the finance office. This is where I found my interest in the finance office. Dealing with luxury customers and consulting them on how to purchase their vehicle is where I excel. I enjoy finding the customer's wants/needs and then maximizing profit for the dealership with every transaction.

This is where I started in the car business. After two years as a salesperson, I was promoted to lease manager. Then after a year as lease manager, I was promoted to sales manager, then new car sales manager. Schaumburg Honda Automobiles is a very large volume dealer and a great place to learn the automobile business. I still employee the skills I learned there.

During school, I worked part time in sales at a local Radio Shack store. I was recognized for my sales ability, and was offered a position as assistant manager. I left school to pursue a career here. At the age of 19, I was offered my first store to manage. I was the youngest store manager in the nation at the time. The store I was given was in sad shape. It was dirty and unorganized. I cleaned it up, ordered the right mix of inventory, and customers started coming back. Sales gains over previous year were over 100%. This quickly got me promoted to other stores, and eventually one of the biggest volume stores in the midwest. I loved this job, however, working Sundays was starting to wear on me. I had a friend selling cars at Schaumburg Honda, so I made the move to the automobile business.
