    Hi, I’m John. I was born in Germany and moved to the United States when I was 18 years old. I started out in Long Island, New York, and after the events of 9/11, I relocated to Florida on September 14, 2001—a decision that shaped both my personal and professional journey. I’ve spent 26 years in the automotive industry, with the first three in sales and the last 23 years in finance. Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships with customers by focusing on transparency, trust, and delivering a smooth, stress-free experience. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me outdoors—I love hiking, and I’m a big fan of baseball and football. I also share my home with a floppy-eared, four-legged best friend—our beloved beagle, who keeps life fun and full of love.

My family then moved to South Florida, where I spent my childhood until the age of 11, before settling here in beautiful Western North Carolina. I’ve been lucky to call WNC home ever since! I love photography and being outdoors, whether it’s capturing stunning landscapes or simply enjoying nature. My family is close-knit, with my mom, sister, and nephew all living here locally. I’ve spent the last 21 years working in the automotive industry, specializing in Fixed Operations, and I’m passionate about providing the best service experience possible.
