Having grown up in Pasadena, I was going to Pasadena City College when I was told by my parents that I couldn’t sit at home for the summer or surf all the time. What’s a boy to do? Time to go get a summer job. That’s when a friend told me about an opportunity where I could deliver cars, which seemed simple enough before starting the next semester. 

Once I started, all I did was talk to our guests, which caught the attention of others at the dealership. Soon enough, I was answering the phone and selling cars. Next thing I knew, I was on my way to become the #1 fleet sales person at the location. 

At this point, I thought that sales was going to be my career. Little did I know that others saw something more. Over the years, I had several peers and supervisors teach me the industry and talked to me about my career path. With their guidance, I held several leadership positions and soon became a General Manager. Now I oversee the #1 Lexus location in the Western United States. 

Because of the growth opportunities I experienced, I’m proud to say that my son made the choice to join the organization at Longo Toyota. Since starting in 2014, he has already experienced his own success by being promoted to a Service Consultant. 

From a local boy to leading one of the best teams in retail, I’m proof that the opportunities are endless within Penske Motor Group. I look forward to working with you in the near future! 

Kind regards,
