SummaryI have worked throughout my career with auto manufacture/distributors, dealerships and auto auctions that have a need or desire to improve their profitability. I have over 29 years experience in the retail automotive dealership business as a Consultant, Partner, COO, General Manager and Department Manager. Unlike most consultants I have a thourough knowledge of fixed operations as well as, sales, marketing and administration.I have a burning passion for the retail automotive business, I also consider myself a daily student of the industry. Am currently working on a supplemental degree from the College of Automotive Management to advance my skills in social media networking. I have been a primary factor in turning losing dealerships to profitability by identifying the core problems, creating a practical resolution plan and supporting/coaching the staff into achieving their goals. Daily measurement and accountability are requirements. My administrative, marketing, prospecting, customer retention skills and follow up programs have been refined and revised to address today’s market requirements. I have been recognized for my efforts with Dealer of Excellence and Chairman’s awards from Ford Motor Company, Volvo Cars NA, Jaguar Cars, Infiniti Division of Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors NA. During my career I have performed the duties of every Sales, Service, Parts and Administrative position in a retail dealership.Awards Volvo Dealer of Excellence 1994-97 Ford Motor Company Dealer of Excellence 1995-97 Ford Motor Company CSI Team Work Award 1998 Ford Motor Company Chairman’s Award 2000 Automatic Blue Oval Certification 2000 Mitsubishi Triple Diamond Awards, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007 Top 10% KSI KIA
