Julia was born and raised in the beautiful city of Medellin, Colombia (coffee capital of the world). She’s been in the automotive industry ever since she was 16. She’s previously worked at Mercedes-Benz and Audi. After she obtained her BBA with a concentration in international business and studied abroad in France, Belgium, and Switzerland, she began pursuing a career in law.

You can find Julia spending her free time trying new restaurants, reading, or shopping.

The enthusiasm that I have for the Porsche brand comes from my father owning a signal orange 911T when I was a kid. I loved it when he would say, “Let’s go out for a drive.” The sights, sounds, smells and excitement of driving through the mountains and backroads cemented their imprint in my mind of what and how I now compare to all sports cars.

My goal with each and every client is for them to leave feeling that same anticipation and eagerness when they see their Porsche, get in their Porsche, and drive their Porsche. It’s something that once experienced, needs no further explanation, and something that you just can’t wait to tell other people about.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our chocolate lab (Lola), traveling, trying new cuisine, horology, fitness, and of course driving.

I started with Porsche in 2002 and through the years I got to experience the different generations of Porsche models. I came to realize that Porsche, besides being a sports car company, is an engineering company. This is why each model is unique and special. When I get asked, “what’s your favorite model of a Porsche?” it’s hard to say, because they’re all special and unique in their own way. To sum it up, it’s a brand for the enthusiast, and produces the finest sports cars in the world.

Roman Williams was born and raised in Santa Cruz, California. He attended Morehouse College and after graduation decided to jump head first into the automotive industry. For the past 10 years he has had numerous jobs within the field. However, his passion has always been in racing automobiles. “As the Motorsport specialist at my previous store I enjoyed tailoring the experience for all of my clients, I will continue to provide that unique and exceptional experience to my previous and new clients as well. With Porsche, there is no better manufacturer that has such a rich history that can be combined with day to day usability. I look forward to helping you make your own history with the Jim Ellis Porsche Family.”
