***MAKING MOVES*** If there was anything I could say to the industry, it would go something like this….. “Dear Automotive Industry, I’m not an experiment. I’m a human, a husband, a father, and a consummate professional at what I do. While you’re busy tip-toeing around feelings and the way you’ve always done it, I’m focused on facts, the business, and your people. Throw every challenge at me you want. At no point will I back down. My fire to make people better versions of themselves cannot be put out. My desire to run a department by the books is second to none. My passion to serve people runs deep. Support what I bring to the table and be a partner in building the business. Failure is not an option!” I’ve never taken a new opportunity following the previous person getting a promotion or retiring from a successful operation. In every case, what I walk into is a department that’s disorganized, staff that’s not motivated, expenses out of control, and a non-existent guest experience. Has it ever stopped me? Am I scared of it? Nope! However, because those dealerships have shuffled through Service Managers like a bad playlist, my success hangs by a thread of trust in many cases. Only once in my career have I had complete and uninterrupted autonomy in my role. That was when I worked with AMSI and Danny Pompa back in GA. I remember vividly the day Danny grabbed me by the arm and said “you’re a leader.” Every opportunity since has had very valuable lessons. However, Danny supported everything 100%. In the event something didn’t work he’d say something like, “well you screwed that up, try again.” I think he’d even let me do something even if he knew it wouldn’t work! 🤣🤣 Thank you AMSI and Jack Joyce for recognizing the transformation hard work that took place back in GA. I’m happy to announce that I’ve accepted a new opportunity with AMSI and ADRIAN MIRON as Fixed Ops Director for Louisville CDJR, BMW of Louisville, and Volvo Cars of Louisville. There’s a massive amount of people to serve and the opportunities to grow are abundant!

***T..E..A..M*** What does it mean to you? Here's a different take on the word TEAM as the acronym "Totally Embracing A Mindset." I hope you enjoy this quick dive into such a powerful concept!

Had a great time with my team of advisors and their family this past weekend! Had some great BBQ! There’s nothing better than celebrating a job well done with people that go to battle with you every day. I’m really going to miss them. They are the definition of a TEAM! I’m on a bit of a journey that you’ll hear about soon enough.
