Indiana Born. West Michigan Raised.
I have been immersed in the West Michigan community and culture for over 40 years of my life. No matter where I have wandered, whether pursuing a higher education, or chasing my dreams in professional sports, I have always managed to find my way home, in the Greater Grand Rapids area. What an amazing place to settle down, build a career, and raise a family!
I was born in Jeffersonville, IN and moved to Grand Rapids at the ripe age of 6 months old. I was raised in the Grand Rapids Public School system, where my father spent over 30 years as an Educator and Head Football Coach at Ottawa Hills High School, where I am a proud graduate as well. I ventured off to Fort Wayne, IN, where I earned my Bachelor Degree in Business Management, with a concentration in Public Speaking from the University of St. Francis. I was a three-time All American Wide Receiver for the Cougars, while also serving as President of the Pi Kappa Delta Honorary Forensics Fraternity, competing part time in the football off season at public speaking events. Upon graduation, I played professional football for 6 years in various indoor leagues, including the National Indoor Football League, United Indoor Football League, and in the Arena Football League, playing for both the Grand Rapids Rampage and the Detroit Fury.
I have been working in the Automotive Industry since 2005, with Saturn, Hyundai, Kia, and now BMW. I was blessed with the opportunity to come to Sharpe BMW in 2015, serving as the BMW Sales Manager. I am very passionate about my job and love to hear feedback from all of our wonderful clients! Stop in and see me sometime!
In my free time, I love spending time with my beautiful Family, my wife Brittany, my son Jordan, my bonus son Shane, and my baby daughter Charlie. I love to play golf and basketball when my time permits, and I am a passionate University of Michigan fan, as my Father, Jerry played football for the legendary Bo Schembechler. Go Blue!
