After High School, I joined the Army. After that I returned home and went to Glenville State to study Accounting and Marketing. While in school, I worked in a restaraunt and really fell in love with it. After College, I continued in the Restaraunt field and eventually became an executive chef...Acct/Marketing = Chef???? No, but I loved cooking and couldn't stop, until after I moved to Virginia in 1998 and moved from fine dining to restaraunt start ups. I would go into a new restaraunt and set up the kitchen or the front and get the staff trained, systems set, and make sure things were up and then turn the place over to the permanent managers and owners. But then I met my wife, Donenicia, and I found out that 80-90 hours a week in a restaraunt didn't leave much time for a family, so I switched careers. A regular in my last restaraunt commented that my personality would be great in his business and a conversation led to me getting into the auto industry. Now, after six years, I head up the internet sales and Scion line departments of a large Toyota dealership just outside of Richmond. Donenicia, Dee for short, and I have been married for nearly seven years and sometime after she finishes her degree program, we may someday (maybe) think about considering children...maybe.
