Perspective & ExperienceI consult with automobile dealers in order to help them succeed in every aspect of their business.

I have climbed through the ranks, and eventually held positions in the wholesale automobile industry that landed me an office on both the property of the Manheim Minneapolis Auto Auction, and the now former ABC Auto Auction (Currently the Adesa Minneapolis Auto Auction), I was personally selected by the State of Minnesota's Dealer Unit/DPS/DVS to be a MNDRIVE Dealer Ambassador, bridging the gap between dealers and the State. I helped the State shape, and test the new MNDRIVE platform, identifying glitches both before, and after it went live. I then helped, and trained dealers around the State in using the new platform, and currently continue to offer consulting support services to dealers, as well as the State of Minnesota.
