    I started selling cars in 1998 while attending Indiana University.  After graduating from Kelley School of Business in 2000, I decided to continue my career in the Automotive industry.  I started at Pearson Ford in December 2005 as a Sales Manager and was eventually promoted to my current position.  While working at Pearson Ford, I attained my MBA in Business Management.

    I am married to a wonderful woman and have two amazing children, Ella and Grant.  I am very blessed to have such a great family at home and at work.  John Pearson and I share all the same philosophies and values when it comes to taking care of our customers.  Indy's Pearson Ford is a dynamic organization that provides opportunities for individual and team growth.

    I started selling Ford Motor Company products in August of 1969.  In March of 1976, I was offered the opportunity to take over an established fleet department with a large Indianapolis auto dealership.
     
    In 1980, John Pearson, III asked me to join Indianapolis' Pearson Ford family and manage their leasing company and establish a commercial presence which had not been explored yet.  I was impressed with the service department and Pearson Ford's dedication to customer service.  Through the years, I have seen phenomenal growth in both the dealership and the surrounding area and it has been exciting.

    I am proud to say that we are one of the leading Ford
    commerical dealerships in the Indianapolis area, selling and leasing nearly 13,000 vehicles.  It is a privlege to sell Ford vehicles as the quality, vision and durability is far and away the best ever produced.

    When you or your company have the need for a new or used car or truck, please allow me the opportunity to assist in that purchase.  Whether your need is a Fiesta or an F750, let my 36 years of commercial experience build you the vehicle that best fits your needs at a very competitive price.

    When people ask me about work, I tell them, "it's not work, it's a privilege."  It has been since March of 1999.  Spending almost two decades in the shipping and transportation industry as a front-line supervisor was excellent preparation for the "mental" aspect of my current level of responsibilities at Indy's Pearson Ford.  From ordering and trading to drop-ship deliveries, from retail to commercial sales, I enjoy what I do and am happy to help all our customers each and every day.

    When I was eight years old, my father took me with him to purchase my mother a new car at a lage, local dealership.  From the very moment we walked on to that lot, I was fascinated by everything about it.  I knew from that point I wanted to work around cars and with people.  In 1998, during summer break from school, I took a job selling cars.  I decided early in my career that customer satisfaction would be my priority.  I started working at Pearson Ford in November of 2007.  I quickly learned that the entire staff had the same desire to create happy, satisfied customers as I did.

    Away from work, I am married to an amazing woman and have three beautiful, bright and energetic children.  My family enjoys spending as much time together as possible.

    I got my introduction to the "car business" while taking a year away from my studies at Indiana University.  From day one, I enjoyed the atmosphere.  I have worked in several other industries and none are as engaging as the automobile industry.  It is never monotonous. 

    But, after finishing my degree from Kelley School of Business, I moved west to explore other opportunities.  I lived in the metropolitan Phoenix area for nearly six years.  Low and behold an opportunity to move back home and get back into the "car business" arose and here I am.  It is almost two years later and I am loving life (aside from the Indiana weather!).

    Pearson Ford is an excellent organization, where the customer comes first.  I invite you to try our Internet buying experience and I know you will not be disappointed.  It is the wave of the future in this business, and it does not get any more streamlined or convenient.

    I began my career selling cars in 1998. But, since my childhood, I have always had an appreciation for automobiles, which makes my career in the industry very fitting and fulfilling.  I am always fascinated by new enhancements and features that make owning and driving vehicles a pleasure.  That said, my commitment to Pearson Ford customers is to make the process of buying your car or truck a pleasure as well.

    Away from work, I spend time with my wife of five years and two amazing children that keep me very busy in my spare time.

    I have been in the car business for almost six years and have loved it since the beginning.  The definition of a salesman is "one who sells in a given territory, in a store or by telephone."  I work with our internet efforts here at Pearson Ford, therefore, this definition fits perfectly.  The territory is nearly endless - through phone, on the web and here at our store in the Indianapolis area. 

    When I am not working, I am still working!  I am the parent of two wonderful children and a soon-to-be husband. I enjoy every second of life with my family. 

    Thank you for choosing the best Ford dealership in Indianapolis.  We truly do appreciate the opportunity to assist you.

    I have been selling cars for six years.  After a 25 year career in retail management, I started at Pearson Ford in November of 2009.  And, after selling GM products for five years, I knew moving to Ford was the right move.  It has proved to be a great choice.

    Pearson Ford is a very customer and employee-friendly company.  It is a wonderful place to buy and sell a car.  With Ford being on the cutting edge of the auto industry, I find myself in such an exciting place in my career.

    On a personal level, I live and go to church in the Indianapolis area.  I have a son who is a college student, serves in the National Guard and lives with me at home.

    I started in the automobile business when I was still in high school working as a painter for my uncle at a car dealership.  After graduation, I left the auto industry but still felt a draw (it gets in your blood) to come back.  So, I returned and spent the next 12 years working at the dealership doing everything from sales to service. 

    I joined the Pearson team in 2008 and have throughly enjoyed the move.  Pearson Ford is a great place to work.  The employees here really care about the customer experience and work hard to constantly improve upon it.  And, at the end of the day, I love the car buinesses for the same reasons I did when I got started 17 years ago.  Every day there is a new challenge and new opportunities from which I learn.
