Started with Kia: 2001
Years in the Industry: 28 years
Employment Background:
I started in the automotive industry back when I was in high school. My family owned and operated a collision repair business. I stayed with the collision repair business, eventually owning City Centre Collision. After getting into selling used vehicles I decided to take on the Kia franchise in 2001.
What do you love most about working at Kia?
Kia is constantly growing; its brand, and its quality. If you looked at Kia last year, look again this year. We just keep getting better and better.
Why should I buy a Kia?
Quality. Price. Warranty. Great staff.
Where did you grow up?
North Bay.
How long have you been in North Bay?
45 years
How do you participate in our community?
I love soccer, and I love seeing our youth in sport. I've been sponsoring youth soccer in North Bay for years. I currently sponsor 5 soccer teams, and one youth girl's hockey team. I'm also a big believer in helping those less fortunate than ourselves, so pitching in at the food bank and soup kitchen is really important to me.
When not at work, what would you mostly be found doing?
Spending time with family and friends; breaking bread, relaxing, and definitely laughing.
What's been the highlight of your life so far?
I've been very lucky. I have a wonderful family, a great wife and three beautiful kids, aged 21, 19 and 12. Of course I can't forget to mention, owning my business.
