I joined EDL (a Dealer Specialties franchise) in April 1995 as a route representative in San Antonio, TX. After successfully growing the San Antonio route at a rate faster than my peers, I was promoted to City Manager for EDL’s Tulsa, OK operation in August 1995.

 

In August 1996, I was promoted to Regional Manager for EDL and was given the added responsibility of opening and expanding several key markets. Over the course of the next year Wichita, Austin, San Antonio and Springfield (MO) was added to my Tulsa responsibilities.

 

In February 2003 EDL sold his company back to Dealer Specialties a Trader Publishing Company. I became the Midwest Region Manager for Dealer Specialties’ Company Owned Stores. I was responsible for sales and service in each of the following markets: Wichita Kansas; Oklahoma City Oklahoma; Tulsa Oklahoma; Springfield Missouri; Phoenix Arizona and Las Vegas Nevada.

 

In August 2009 I was promoted to National Sales Manager with Dealer Specialties, which is now a Dominion Enterprise Company and was responsible for growing the business across the country with a great sales team. Dominion’s Dealer Specialties provides independent and franchise dealers nationwide the latest vehicle inventory management tools, with do-it-yourself capabilities and unmatched local, dedicated full-service consultants servicing nearly 200,000 vehicles each month with the highest quality photos and distributing inventory to nationally recognized sites.

 

In 2012 I made the decision to resign from Dominion Enterprise for an opportunity with LightSpeed VT. I look forward to helping and improving any company who wants to take their training to another level.
