I have always enjoyed helping customers with their buying decisions....I know it's an important process.  Seeing a happy customer always makes my day! Raised in Webster Groves MO, then moved to SO CALI in 1983, and moved back to my roots in St Louis in 2004. I have been in the car business since 1995, and started my career in Southern California. My wife was one of my first customers many years ago and we now have 6 children and 9 grandchildren. I am easy going and enjoy music and play a few instruments, including guitar and piano. I believe in "no pressure" sales when it comes to doing my job.

I was born in Kansas and raised in St. Louis, and I've spent over 28 years in the automotive industry. After graduating from Northern Arizona University in 1994, I returned to St. Louis in 1996 and started my career as a salesman. It didn't take long for me to realize my passion for finance, and I transitioned into the finance side of the business, where I've been ever since.

For the past nine years, I've had the privilege of serving as the Finance Manager at Mungenast Lexus of St. Louis, where I help customers navigate the car-buying process with personalized, professional financing solutions. With nearly three decades of experience, I take pride in providing my clients with the best options and making sure they have a smooth and enjoyable experience.
