After working directly for Volkswagen of America for 6 years doing special events and becoming one of the Lead Volkswagen product/brand specialists, Che' made a choice to work directly on the retail side. His retail journey began with Larry H Miller in Avondale, Arizona where Che' was ranked as one of the top sales consultants in the country for the duration of his time there, which was 4 years. In 2010 he and his young family decided to move to Michigan to be closer to family. Che' once again chose to stick with his path in automotive retail, and he was quickly hired by Suburban Imports of Troy, specifically with Volkswagen. Che's journey to success went in to hyper-drive, and after selling Volkswagens for only 4 months Che' was promoted to Finance Manager, and shortly after being successful there, he was asked to take over an underperforming Mazda store in Troy, Mi. It wasn't long after this move that Che' took his Mazda team and the store itself to the coveted #1 spot not only in sales but in CSI (Customer Satisfaction Index) as well. After 2 years of successfully maximizing the opportunity at the Mazda Franchise, he was asked to take over the Nissan Franchise in Troy where he accomplished the very same thing and began to develop a reputation as a "fixer". In 2015 Che' was promoted to General Sales Manager of Suburban Imports of Farmington Hills and was able to rebuild the culture and the team to obtain similar high ranking results at Audi, Porsche, Mazda, VW, Nissan and Infiniti.

Che' operates on a high level of enthusiasm, integrity, honesty and emotion which is highly contagious to everyone around him. He is a believer in the power of technology to accelerate progress in the automotive industry, and a believer that this industry is also powered by people and relationships. It's no surprise that his stores received Automotive News Best Dealership to work for awards in 2021 and 2022.
