Meet Our Team

I have dedicated 38 years to the car business, and in that time, I have made many great friends from the customers I helped every day. For the past 10 years, I have been a member of the Santa Margarita Toyota family, where I take pride in the dealership’s EZ Price selling philosophy and doing business with Christian values. My joy comes from helping others and building lasting relationships with our employees and customers. I’m a husband, father of two, and proud grandfather of one. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, golf, reading, and spending quality time with his family.
Every good and perfect gift comes from above, coming down from the Father with whom this no variation or shadow of change. – James 1:17

I’ve been in the automotive industry for 13 years and proud to call Santa Margarita Toyota home for the past 5. My goal is simple: to make the car-buying process easy, transparent, and enjoyable for every guest. I believe buying a vehicle should feel exciting—not stressful—and I work hard to create that experience. Outside of work, you’ll find me spending time with my family, golfing, or coaching my son’s baseball team. My motto? You’ll always win when you lead with love and genuine intentions.

I’ve been with Santa Margarita Toyota since 2020, and what I love most is connecting with our guests. Meeting new people, having great conversations, and providing exceptional customer service makes every day exciting. My goal is to ensure every guest feels valued and leaves happy. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and hitting the beach. I’m grateful to be in a role where I can make meaningful connections every day.

I’ve had the honor to work at Santa Margarita Toyota since 2024. With almost 30 year’s experience with Toyota in Sales, Management, and Finance, I can’t think of a better place I’d rather be. Santa Margarita Toyota’s commitment to a customer first experience backed by integrity and transparency is unparalleled in all of Orange County. I’m proud to commute an hour a day each way just for the opportunity to work with this fabulous team where we all feel like family, serving the community’s vehicle needs with the best brand on the road today: Toyota. I love being a part of the team who ensures our loyal folks out here enjoy many safe, happy miles. Keep it under a hundred, though!

I’ve been part of Santa Margarita Toyota since 2016 and grew up right here in Rancho Santa Margarita. As a Finance Manager, I take pride in helping guests understand their options with Toyota and Toyota Financial Services. Outside the dealership, I’m a husband, father, and lifelong car enthusiast who loves mountain trips, car shows, and taking my daughter to ballet and hip-hop classes. Family First.

I’ve been part of the Santa Margarita Toyota family for years, which means I’ve mastered the art of finding the perfect Toyota—and the perfect excuse to talk about cars all day. My mission is simple: make buying a car as fun and stress-free as possible. I specialize in matching guests with vehicles that fit their lifestyle, whether it’s for road trips or daily commutes. When I’m not at the dealership, you’ll find me firing up my Traeger for some serious BBQ or relaxing at the Dana Point Yacht Club. Motto: “Great cars, great food, great vibes.”

I’ve been a proud member of the Santa Margarita Toyota team for almost a decade, and I truly enjoy helping guests find their next new or used Toyota. My approach is simple: I listen first. Understanding what my clients need allows us to find the right vehicle quickly and confidently through a process that is simple, transparent, and respectful of their time.

Because I live close to the dealership, I’m readily available for my clients whenever they want to stop by—unless I’m out of the country exploring new destinations. Traveling is one of my favorite passions, and I love sharing these experiences with my daughter. At just 14 years old, she’s already a world traveler, having visited places like Japan, St. Thomas, and Tortola.

Helping people, building relationships, and creating great experiences are what make my job meaningful.

I’ve been part of the Santa Margarita Toyota family since 2023, and my favorite part of the job is helping guests find their dream car! As a non-commissioned sales consultant, my goal is to make the experience transparent, fun, and easy for everyone I work with.

When I’m not at the dealership, you can usually find me at the golf range with my brothers or out on a trail with my dog, Penny.

I’ve been with Santa Margarita Toyota for 4 years and have over 15 years of experience in automotive sales. Helping guests through one of the biggest purchases of their lives is what I love most. Originally from Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati, I now call Orange County home. I enjoy live entertainment, the beach, and sports. Every day is a gift.
