Dealer Principle
Administration
I have been in the car business for over 12 years. I started working for my first dealership during college as a part-time receptionist and service cashier. The part-time job became a full-time position with a promotion to the finance department. I became one of the managers which helped finance my college education. I received my Business Management and Human Resources degree from CSU Fort Collins and became part of the Co's Auto family shortly after graduation. I enjoy attending sporting events and cheering for the CSU Rams, Denver Broncos and Colorado Avalanche. Colorado is a beautiful state and I appreciate all of the seasons by hiking, traveling up and down the I-25 corridor, or just walking my dogs around the neighborhood.

Sales
I happened into the car business by accident in 2002 and realized that selling cars is what I love to do. As a car guy since I could play with Hot Wheels, it is great to represent the Ultimate Driving Machine - BMW. I am married to a Swede and have three great kids. In my free time I am usually hanging out with them. I enjoy the beauty of Colorado while hiking, biking and skiing.

I have been in the automobile sales and leasing business now for almost 10 years. I started my auto sales and leasing career in my hometown of Boulder, CO at Flatirons Acura and Subaru. I transitioned out of that for a year or two so I could do my private consulting business for health and wellness.
