Before my automobile career, I was an I/T professional for 15 years and self-professed car nut. During those years, I shopped for and purchased many vehicles. Now, having been in the car business since 2001 (Subaru since 2007 and Colonial since 2014), I have taken those shopping experiences and formed the core of my personal philosophy - Treat my customers as if I'm sitting on the other side of the desk.
My wife,Maria and I, are busy raising boy and girl twins, Jason and Hayley, our oldest son Matthew, and two rescue Great Pyrenees mixes, Sammy and Louie. In my downtime, I enjoy a good series binge-watch. I'm also a foodie. So, feel free to stop by and tell me a good show recommendation and where to find my next meal!

I have worked for several different Subaru dealers throughout the United States and have settled in beautiful Connecticut to be closer to my family. I have been with Colonial Subaru since 2007 and really enjoy working for a family-owned dealership. I have seen Subaru evolve from a small quirky 4-cylinder car to one of the most in-demand "Iconic" name plates in the car business. When I am not helping my customers with their automotive needs, I enjoy the outdoors here in New England.

I am a local Bethel resident with over 24 years experience in automotive sales. I have 2 little ones, a boy and a girl, and a beautiful wife of over 8 years. Being local, I'm constantly running into some of my clients in stores, restaurants, etc. So taking care of my clients comes with a little something extra, and requires an added personal touch. My goal is to build relationships, while hopefully making friends in the process. I'm super excited to be a part of the CT's #1 Subaru dealer, and look forward to serving the community for years to come!

I have a 10 year old daughter, who I enjoy taking on various day trips all over New England in my Subaru Forester. I have a love/hate relationship with golf. If you hear the word "fore" out there, it's most likely me.
I've been with Colonial Subaru since March 2017 and really enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Though the largest volume Subaru dealership, it has a small town feel and family environment.

- I have worked in the customer service industry for many years but found my niche with the Colonial family. I started at our Ford location in 2016 and have since moved over to Subaru as Concierge Coordinator.My role here is to schedule complimentary pick up and drop off for vehicles being serviced. The cars are picked up at the customers home, serviced, sanitized and delivered right back to their driveway...how great is that!?In my free time I like to sit outside or somewhere cozy with a good book. I can also never say no to a good documentary or suspenseful TV show. If you stop in and have any recommendations of what to read or watch next I'd love to hear them!
