As a lifelong owner and lover of BMW and having spent much of my adult life in Ohio, I have been familiar with Enthusiast Auto Group for decades. Starting my career on the automotive industry’s retail side to pay my way through college at the University of Cincinnati, what started as my side job became a lifelong career built around my passion.
After experiencing nearly every department at a variety of dealerships around the Midwest, my wife Trisha and I went on to purchase and grow 3 pre-owned dealership franchise stores starting in 2016. After leaving the franchise pre-owned dealership world, we founded the BMW-focused boutique dealership “The Studio,” based just outside of Orlando, FL. At The Studio, we put an emphasis on selecting the best inventory, great photography, a strong social media presence, and transparency in advertising. But when I was offered the opportunity to become an owner of Enthusiast Auto Group, the decision was easy.
In my mind, anybody can source an inventory of unique, clean, and rare cars, but there is only one place that has assembled a team that is knowledgeable and passionate enough to preserve these cars that we love for future generations. Coming on board, I’m excited to grow the brand and show you more of what we do day to day at EAG while maintaining the unparalleled quality that the brand was built on.
