The Stork dropped me off in a little town in Germany called Altenstadt. It just happens to be over 2000 years old. My mother strapped me to her back and swam to the Americas. What a wonderful country! After many years of travel, I now have a place to call home....Nelson Mazda I play competitive tennis and teach Karate and loved my RX-8 untill the tree got in the way.

I was born and lived in Seattle, WA for over 20 years. I have worked for Mr. Nelson for over 10 years, of which the last 7 have been here in TN. THe road to Nashville also included Maui and Oklahoma (what a combination). I have a wonderful family- wife, Christina, son, Nicholas, and daughter Olivia. Like most these days, I always seem to be on the run, but when I get a chance, I enjoy fishing with the kids or watching a Red Sox game with my wife. Although I'm not sure who's louder, her or I!

Born in Jackson TN, moved to Hendersonville in 1984. I graduated from Beech High School in 1988, in 1991 I packed up and moved to Seattle Washington. I started working for a Mazda Dealer that year and fell in love with the Mazda product. In 2004 I moved home and started working for Nelson Mazda Rivergate. So you could say I've been selling Mazda's for almost 20 years. I have a Mazda Miata, my beagle (Dixie) and I love going for rides on sunny days.

I have lived in Springfield TN my whole life. I am recently married with no children. I have been at Nelson Mazda for 2 years and love it. I came here admiring the religious background of the company, and it is a huge reason I enjoy coming to work each day. In my spare time I coach fast pitch softball with my father. It has been a passion of mine since age 6. Sporty and bold, like the new 6 :-)
