    Hi, I'm Michael! Here to make your new car purchase simple, transparent and genuinely stress free.

    From the moment we start working together to the day your dream car is delivered, I'll guide the process, keep you informed and make sure everything runs smoothly.

    About Michael

    With 15 years in the auto industry, including time working with Nissan overseas, I've helped hundreds of customers navigate exactly this process. My philosophy is simple: I listen first, always. When you feel heard and supported, we find the right answer faster. I'm here to make things straightforward and pressure-free, backed by real experience and a genuine care for getting it right for you.

    What I help with

    • I advocate for you

      I'm completely brand-agnostic. I compare availability, pricing, & options across our national network to find the right car, at the best deal, wherever it comes from.

    • One expert, end to end

      You deal with me on your budget, preferences, timing, & what matters most. Clear, upfront

    • Pricing you can trust

      I source the best price first time, based on market data, historical pricing and our trusted dealer partnerships.

    • Support with everything, not just the car

      From finance and insurance to trade-ins, delivery timing and negotiating extras, we're here to help you navigate it all.

    • Trade-in options designed around you

      I'll compare trade-in values across multiple buyers, not just one dealer. Through our partner network, you can lock in your trade-in price now and keep driving your car until your new one arrives, no matter how long it takes.
