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.
