Thank you to the many loyal customers and readers of the Daily Advance for selecting me the Best Car Salesperson.

I am just as delighted about winning this time as I was back in 1993 when I won the first time. I believe it is a team effort by all the sales, service, parts, and administration at the dealership.

The dependable Nissan product also helps greatly. Thank you again for your loyalty and friendship over these many years. I sincerely appreciate each and every one of you. God Bless,
