How has your position contributed to the overall Barrett-Jackson Experience™?

As the Absentee Bidder Representative I am able to connect bidders, who would otherwise not be able to attend, with that desirable Barrett-Jackson Experience. So whether you are committed elsewhere locally, or across the world in Dubai, there is no reason to miss out on that car you have always wanted.

What are some of your interests and hobbies?

Most of my free time is allocated to good movies, good food and good cars with great people, namely my friends and family. I never get too far from nature, and prefer to experience it via hiking, dirt biking, off-roading and camping. I enjoy staying active, but relaxation is key.

What's in your CD Player/IPOD?

I use an iPod Classic, so among other things, there is a Toshiba MK1626GCB 1.8” 160GB hard drive that stores all 32.7 days of my music. My musical preferences run the gamut, but I lean towards Punk Rock and Alternative.

What is your favorite driving song?

Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows, by Leslie Gore.

What is your dream classic car?

I would love to own a vintage MK I or MK II GT40 Le Mans racecar, with the orange and blue Gulf paint. That, or a Ferrari 250GT California Spider SWB Convertible, black.

Barrett-Jackson is nothing short of a family, one that I am ecstatic to be a part of.
