17 3. You have to be a good team player to be a good boss. The team is everything, and your most important asset is the people who work with you. But if a portion of your team does not do their job, it becomes tougher for everyone else. What is your favorite car? My favorite cars are the old muscle cars, especially the SS396 Nova. What are you currently driving? Due to the lack of new car inventory at this time, I am driving a certified 2020 Cadillac Escalade from our used car department. Please tell us about your family. I am fortunate to have a great family. My oldest daughter, Tina, lives in Highland, Illinois. She has two children. CJ works at a bank, and Samantha is a sophomore at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Katelyn has a five-month-old son, Sawyer. Cindy and I have two golden retrievers, Belle and Charlie, rounding out our family. What do you like to do for fun? Until Katelyn had Sawyer, I would have told you golf. I also have a plane, and I like to take trips. Now that we have Sawyer, I am learning to be the best babysitter. I have been having fun by spending my early mornings at Katelyn’s house while she works out. Do you have any last words? You never know where life is going to take you. I grew up with bowlers, and bowling was my whole life. Who would have ever thought someone that wanted to be a bowler would have success in life in the car business? 3
