I have owned too many cars from a Nissan Armada, Chrylser Crossfire, Subaru Baja, to a Mini-Van. But the car that I loved the most, was my Prius! I am like the Pruis; reliable, efficient, and a hybrid.

Favorite car personality
Before CarLotz
Before Carlotz, I have done many things. For over 16 years, I was a middle and high school teacher, an adjunct instructor and head golf coach at a university. After my teaching career, I was a recruiter at a few universities and a recruiter for an elite sports academy. In addition, I was a salesperson at a car dealership, I directed a non-profit that provided golf lessons for underprivileged youth, and I was an educational consultant for education and networking.
Favorite thing about CarLotz
I love the business model, the people, and its vision. Carlotz is a game-changer!
Outside of CarLotz
To be honest, I love golf and that is what I do when I am not working. I love golf, not only as a sport, but I love it because it is a unique sport. It is great way to network and meet friends. Most of my strongest friendships have been built through the game of golf.
