Originally from Monticello, Arkansas, I’ve spent the last 33 years in Minnesota, primarily in the Twin Cities metro area, before relocating to Freeport seven years ago. Currently, I enjoy living on 40 acres with my girlfriend, where we engage in hobby farming and care for our chickens and horses.
I entered the automotive industry after a friend encouraged me to apply at Cornerstone when my previous employer unexpectedly closed its doors. Although I was initially nervous about a full commission role, it has become an exciting journey.
I joined Mills about a week ago and am thrilled about the opportunity to help grow our Willmar location and connect with customers. What I enjoy most is talking to people; it’s amazing how much you can learn by listening to others.
I’m committed to progressing in my career within the automotive industry. My goal is to utilize all available resources to advance, with the ultimate ambition of running my own dealership one day.
Outside of work, my interests have shifted from playing soccer to farming. I now love fishing, farming, and exploring new foods. I have two wonderful children, Cole, an 18-year-old Maple Grove High School graduate, and Hayden, who is a 16-year-old junior at the same school. My time spent at home with my girlfriend and our pets is invaluable to me.
A fun fact about me: I absolutely love my chickens! Watching them forage and interact brings me peace. If anyone is looking for breed advice or just wants to chat about chickens, I’m your go-to guy!
Additionally, I possess a unique talent for breed identification of dogs and chickens, as well as the memorable skill of saying the exact wrong thing to my girlfriend at the most inopportune moments—truly a gift!
I look forward to helping you with your automotive needs here at Mills!
