Born and raised in La Porte, Indiana and a 1992 graduate of La Porte High School! I started my automotive career at age 14. My first job, sweeping the garage floor and emptying the trash. Since then I have done nearly every job in the dealership from oil changes, detailing cars to selling and managing.
The photo is not available because we do not employ a sales manager! That's right! Here at your local family owned dealership we DO NOT have a pushy Sales Manager. The Sales Team works your deal directly with the Owner. No pressure No games, Transparent and Honest, its the La Porte Family way, the ONLY way!
