I began my career in the bus industry in 1989 when I joined Metrotrans Corporation who manufactured cutaway shuttle buses for our industry . I was hired in a dual role as Governmental Sales Manager and Operations Manager . We successfully grew the company from a small privately held company with gross sales of 4 million annually to a publicly held company with gross sales exceeding 40 million annually . I was a key member of the IPO team with a very successful public offering . I took on the role of National Account Sales Manager in the mid-90 ’ s and established key accounts with Dollar Rent A Car , Thrifty Rent a Car , Parking Company of America and several other large national accounts for parking and hotel shuttles .
In January of 2000 , Daimler Buses of North America acquired the assets of Metrotrans and I joined the team at Daimler . From 2000 through 2012 , I held several sales positions with a key focus on national accounts for Sprinter shuttle buses and then onto National Account Sales Manager for the Setra brand in North America .
In 2012 , MCI acquired the distribution rights for the Setra product for North America and I was asked to join the MCI team when Daimler dissolved operations in June 2012 . I accepted the position of the Southeast
Regional Sales Manager for the preowned coach division and had great success in building long lasting relationships within the southeast region . I was asked to join the Prevost sales team in June of 2020 . Prevost has a key focus on helping move this industry forward and has established a key focus on a combined crew approach with key contacts for Parts , aftermarket support and sales .
Over the last 30 plus years in this industry I have prided myself with the relationships I have with my customers and making sure I am available to them anytime they need help .
