Cars are my passion! I'm a former Ferrari Technician, trained by Ingegnere Nereo Iori and Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team (N.A.R.T.). I maintained ASE Master Technician status throughout my career.

Over my 40+ year career, I've worked at different automotive jobs, including Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. as a Dealer Operations Manager, District Service Manager, and Regional Service Manager. I've also worked at retail dealerships as a Sales Consultant, Sales Manager, Service Manager, and General Manager.
