Service and Parts Manager for Renton Hyundai January 2003—October 2004
I was in charge of the parts, service, and detail department. I oversaw many employees and had to ensure growth and profitibility for the company. I enjoyed knowing that I was successful at my job, but decided 70+ hours a week was not a positive thing for a the home life.

Service Advisor for Parkalnd Chevrolet December 2004—January 2008
Worked to facilitate the repairs of customer's vehicles, while keeping some profit in the business as well as keeping the customers happy.... well as happy as was possible. Car repair is rarely a joyful experience, but I did make a lot of friends due to the way I treaded them. Many of them have stayed with me in the real estate business.... as clients and potential clients. THey also refer business to me as a Realtor.... which is the best compliment I feel i can receive.... a person feels I will treat a friend of theirs with care and respect, and that I am the best choice as the person to handle real estate issues. I love that feeling.
