I hate writing about myself. You want me to write about a car. Definitely. Auto finance? Now you’re talking! Me? Snoozefest. But since I have all this space just begging to be filled, I’m going to give this a shot.
The auto industry started calling my name way back in 2001. I cut my teeth in a dealership, working for a large auto retailer. I learned the ropes about sales and contracts and inventory and the service drive. Working for such a large company afforded me opportunities to learn contracts and financing and titles in multiple states and I soaked it all in for nearly five years.
I took a brief break from the auto industry, but once it’s in your blood, you’re hooked. After only a few months, I was back, this time on the finance side.
From the moment a customer steps foot inside the dealership all the way through to making the final payment and receiving the free and clear title, there hasn’t been a part of the process I haven’t been involved in over the years. There are some days I think I could do the paperwork (yes, even the titles) in my sleep.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m crazy, but the truth is, I’m good at this. I’m really good at this. That probably sounds kind of conceited, but the plain truth is, I just get it—all the lingo and numbers and ins-and-outs of buying, selling, financing and titling vehicles come easy to me. Talking and writing about auto finance, and cars in general, sharing the latest news and helping people make the best choices … well that’s just icing on the cake.

For example, if you move and don’t update your address on your vehicle registration, it’s possible you won’t receive the notification. Another example is, after purchasing a used vehicle, it can take some time … Read More

It seems like most of the articles I read lately begin with some version of “It’s that time of year. …” To me, that can only mean one thing – shopping. Oh, yay!? Shopping ranks right up there with things like having to change a light bulb. It doesn’t really brighten my day. Luckily, like many people, online shopping has made my life much easier. … Read More
Recently, I spoke with someone who, at 50+, is establishing his credit rating for the first time. He’s excited to watch his rating improve as well as the possibilities that await. He’s eager to buy a home. On the opposite side of the spectrum, my daughter will be turning 18 all too soon and working to build her credit for the first time. She has … Read More
