A little bit about me:
I grew up in San Diego. My family owned a Mexican Food Restaurant called Lucita's; it was amazing. My mom was a Travel Agent.
In High School, I swam on the Swim Team and played Water Polo (I also had "Surf P.E." for first period; Torrey Pines High School was pretty "Socal" ;).
I moved to Arizona in 2003 to attend Arizona State University. When I graduated, as is often the case in my industry, I "stumbled into the car business." But I didn't sell cars at just any car dealership; I sold cars at Avondale Toyota. Avondale Toyota was founded on a single basic principle: Never lie, cheat, or steal. When Avondale Toyota opened in 2003, they had one simple goal: to change the car business.
Fast forward 13 years and here we are. We opened our 2nd Toyota dealership (One Toyota) in February 2010 and as a result of both stores' success, our unique way of doing business, and our belief in complete transparency, we have earned a tremendous amount of notoriety along the way.
Personally, I have an amazing wife, Monique, who is truly my better half. I have a perfect daughter, Marlowe, who turned 2 in February and a second little girl on the way, due at the end of June. To round out the "quintessential American Family," we have a golden retriever named Roscoe; he's the man.
