I am a distinguished automotive executive with over 4 decades of experience in the automotive profession. I have served roles as sales consultant, assistant sales manager, sales manager, general sales manager, finance manager, finance director and general manager. Most of my tenure has been with Chevrolet and Kia. As General Manager of Jim Ellis Kia of Kennesaw is where I continue to garner commendations for my unfaltering commitment to the Jim Ellis Automotive Group, to my team members and constituents. My unswerving commitment doesn’t just rest in the automobile business, it extends to a profound love for my family, my work family and customers as a whole. I clearly understand “without them, there is no me”. I thrive on setting and achieving meaningful goals, a characteristic that is clearly reflected in my work ethics and the positive outcomes I consistently deliver professionally and in my personal life. I am 1982 graduate of the University of South Carolina, and I am probably one of the biggest Gamecock fans that has walked this earth. I enjoy attending sporting events, concerts, cultural events, listening to jazz and traveling with my best friend, who happens to be my wife, Raquel. We both are deeply rooted in giving back through various organizations including our own foundation. If I may leave you with one thing I truly believe, “if everyone recognizes their own talents and realize, that these talents are our gifts from God and what we do with these talents, is our gift to God”.
