I have been working for Frontier Toyota for almost two years. This is the first dealership I have ever worked for and I don’t plan on working anywhere else. I have a two year old daughter. During my time off I play hockey and am a huge LA Kings fan! I love meeting new people and sales is my life. Meeting new customers makes this job fun.

I have been a part of the Frontier Toyota Internet team since 2016. I love working here! Not only is Frontier a great working environment, it is a great place to buy a car. The old adage of having a stressful encounter at the dealership is gone. What you can expect from me is honesty, transparency, and ease through the entire buying process. My desire is to not simply sell you a vehicle, but to develop a long-lasting relationship.
