About

Results-driven General Manager with more than 20 years of progressive leadership experience in the automotive industry, currently leading operations at Holman Toyota in Mount Laurel, NJ. I specialize in building high-performing teams, optimizing dealership operations, and driving sustainable revenue growth across sales, service, finance, and administrative functions. As General Manager, I oversee a team of 140 professionals, fostering a collaborative, accountable, and performance-focused culture. Through strategic planning, disciplined financial management, and process improvement initiatives, I have reduced operational costs, optimized inventory levels, and strengthened overall dealership performance. By introducing innovative service initiatives and enhancing the customer experience, our team has earned thirteen consecutive President’s Awards—demonstrating a sustained commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. My leadership journey includes serving as Assistant General Manager for BMW of Mount Laurel and General Sales Manager at Holman Toyota, where I directed sales operations at a high-volume import dealership and led more than 35 team members to consistent year-over-year growth. I am passionate about developing talent, with four team members earning the Joseph Holman Leadership Award under my mentorship. I hold a B.S. in Management Science & Information Systems with a Minor in Economics from Rutgers University School of Business, equipping me with a strong analytical foundation and a technology-forward approach to dealership management. I am a NADA Dealer Academy attendee with certificates, a Toyota Approved General Manager, an Eagle Scout, and a member of the Board of Directors for the South Jersey Chamber of Commerce. I am committed to leveraging technology, data-driven decision-making, and strong leadership to enhance customer satisfaction, empower teams, and achieve measurable business results.
