I am an accomplished, highly motivated technician in the field of luxury and exotic automobiles. Over the years
I have learned and helped lead the implementation of new technologies in the repair field to keep up with the
advancements in vehicle design and construction. I am looking to utilize my skills to help an automotive dealer,
and myself, continue to grow and improve the quality of today’s vehicles.
Currently I am required to determine the most efficient and effective methods for repairing heavily damaged
high end vehicles and implement them. I also have had an opportunity to see how a quality focused collision
shop was managed from within while maintaining high profitability. I have extensive experience with Audi,
BMW, Bentley, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes, Mini, Porsche, Lexus, Acura, and Infinity products, some Rolls
Royce, Ferrari, and Aston Martin experience.
