I grew up in the Hudson Valley, and I happy to still call it my home all these years later. I have a beautiful daughter, and she and I are die-hard fans of the Mets, Bulls, and Da Bears!

I’ve been in the car business since 2000, but I don’t consider myself a “car salesman”. I prefer “guy on your side” instead, since I love being able to help people in any way I can.

Growing up, cars were always a huge passion of mine. I started working on cars when I was 15, and in 2002 I officially started in the Auto Repair business. After a few years, I studied hard and did my homework, and in 2014 I earned the title of Certified Master Technician.

My real love is my family, and I always try to spend as much time with them as I possibly can.

I’ve always been a city girl who loves living in the country. I enjoy singing, reading, puzzles, and a good crime drama. I also enjoy many sports, but I would say NASCAR is my favorite. That said, time with my family is always the best part of my days.

I’ve been in the automotive field since my High School days, where I took Auto Shop. I helped out at my dad’s shop in the Bronx before settling in at a large dealer group in Westchester. The Friendly Auto Group has a wonderful team of people working for them, and I’m excited to be a part of the Friendly Family.
