I started in the automotive industry as a young fellow still in high school. I landed a job at a Buick dealership in their parts department as a driver and the manager was smart enough to encourage me and teach me to become more of an asset to the store. 35 years later, working my way through various positions in all departments. I developed a better understanding of what makes a dealership tick. I was fortunate that I could easily excel in sales And worked my way up the ladder. Both in retail and wholesale eventually becoming a field manager for the Mercedes Benz factory. With my retail background of 20 years and 15 years with the factory. I could see dealer success in various areas and took a lot of great ideas from each market that could work anywhere.For the last 25 years I have been in residential mortgages and commercial lending owning a brokerage that can lend to new businesses up to 500 million. We specialize in new startups and stated unsecured loans along with DCNR loans
