how many years at Lighthouse Automotive:
I have been at Lighthouse for 10 years as a sales consultant. Previously I was at Rieger Motors in Forrest, IL for 20 years, working as a tech, parts and service manager, and eventually sales the last 6 years. it was a very valuable experience that I was able to bring here to Lighthouse Automotive. I am very thankfull for all the past customers that have followed me from over 70 miles away and also the new customers that have given me the opportunity to serve them here the past 10 years.
What you like most about your job/workplace:
I appreciate the opportunity to work at a place of business where integrity, honesty, and customer satisfaction are of utmost importance from the owner on down. I always feel empowered and supported to make sure the customer is taken care of. The rewarding part of the job is the repeat and referral business.

I enjoy fishing and vacationing with the family. Any time I can find to spend with the kids is always a great time (not enough of it).
