I have loved sales ever since I was in elementary school. I always enjoyed selling cookies, Shrinky Dink window light catchers, or whatever fundraisers were available. In high school, I got a job at Sears Westland and worked in various departments, including Hardware, Lawn & Garden, and Sporting Goods. Sears was great at providing training and allowed me to rapidly expand my product knowledge.
I bought my first vehicle, a Jeep Wrangler, from Dan Hatfield Jr. at Toyota West. During my purchase Dan asked me if I had considered selling vehicles before; I was already balancing my time between employment at Sears and classes at OSU. Intimidated by the expensive nature of the business, I initially passed on the offer. After some thought, I ended up going back to Dan less than a year later to start my career in the car business in 1995.
I stayed with Toyota West and the Hatfield's Automall until 2015, managing the Toyota West dealership for the last 12 years of my career there. Though I had a great time learning all aspects of the business, I dreamed of working at this new Byers Chevrolet store in Grove City. I had heard great things about the Byers family and remembered that the best years of my auto career were working at a family owned dealership.
As fate would have it, I was given the opportunity to manage the Byers Chevrolet dealership in September of 2016… giving way to the best years of my career. This city has embraced the business. I am always amazed by our loyal customers and the dedication of our staff. Even more, with Grove City being my home city, it is fun helping out people I know and giving back to this great community.

I was born and raised here in Central Ohio. I currently live in the small town of Mount Sterling with my wife and two children. I grew up not too far the dealership where my family raised all sorts of critters for me and my brother and sister to show in 4-H each year. It was through 4-H and playing competitive hockey from a very young age that I developed a strong work ethic. If you can't find me at Byers Chevrolet helping folks buy cars, you will likely find me enjoying the outdoors with my family! I am an avid outdoorsman that enjoys hunting, fishing and hiking. I enjoy the A-Z process of attaining fresh food for my family through hunting and raising meat chickens. While I am still relatively new to the car industry, I am no stranger to helping folks throughout the buying experience. I spent 13 years working for Ohio's premier John Deere dealership, JD Equipment, in both sales and as a General Manager before moving to the auto industry. My job is not to sell you something. My job is to help you throughout the buying process. I pride myself on being completely transparent with each and every customer. I want you to be 100% comfortable when you walk through the doors of Byers Chevy and to be 100% satisfied when you leave.
