I have over 35 years in the Automobile Industry, beginning my career in 1981, as a salesperson. From there I was promoted to Sales and Service Manager, then eventually to the General Manager in 1985. When I started, the dealership averaged around 70 vehicles per month, when I left; the dealership was averaging 630 per month. Under my management, the dealership received numerous Sales and Service awards and recognition.
I left my management position in 1998 to open my own dealership, Tri Star Ford-Mercury, Inc. and Tri Star Chrysler, Inc., which has now grown to be the Tri Star Auto Group, currently with 6 locations and 8 major franchises.
I've been around classic cars and muscle cars since I was a kid and my father took me along to the drag strip with him every weekend. From that point I was hooked and cars are in my blood. In 2015 I had an opportunity to team up with a long time friend Gary Hankinson and together we partnered and opened Hanksters Hot Rods in South Daytona Beach Florida. I also travel all over the United States purchasing Classic Cars and shipping them back to our facilities. From there, we then recondition, market, and sell them all over the world.
