SVP of Product & Dealer Solutions at CarSaver
I lead the product roadmap and dealer operations strategy for one of automotive retail's fastest-growing platforms.
Product Roadmap & Strategy
Digital retail platforms, CRM overlays, Boost reporting, AI-driven segmentation, lead routing automation, online-to-in-store continuity tools, and sales/service experience design.
Major Programs & Partners
Upgrade programs for Nissan, Infiniti, BMW, Walmart, and major dealer groups. I work across product, design, engineering, OEM strategy, operations, and analytics — driving alignment and measurable lift.
Outcomes Over Features
28% lift in lead-to-sale conversion. 2.3x increase in qualified leads. Faster response times. Better appointment show rates. I ship with velocity and focus on what moves the business forward.
I translate real dealer operations into scalable digital solutions — because I've been the salesperson, the manager, and the systems architect.
My 16-Year AutoNation Career
Before CarSaver, I spent 16 years at AutoNation — the nation's largest automotive retailer. This frontline-to-enterprise path gave me one of the rarest backgrounds in automotive digital retail.
From Showroom Floor to Enterprise Product Leadership
The Entire Automotive Funnel
- Showroom Sales: Started as a top-performing salesperson with high CSI and strong close rates. Learned the real mechanics of dealer operations, objections, trade-ins, financing, and customer experience.
- Sales Leadership: Promoted into sales management roles, coaching teams and driving consistent performance across multiple stores.
- National Call Center Management: Managed AutoNation's National Call Center, supporting hundreds of rooftops. Improved lead response times, appointment show rates, scripts, and routing efficiency at scale.
- Systems Ownership: Oversaw all sales, service, and strategic systems used across the retailer — including CRM, BDC tools, service scheduling, payment integrations, and trade valuation systems.
- Enterprise Product Leadership: Led product roadmaps for 14 major enterprise software products used by dealerships, call centers, and millions of online shoppers. Built digital retail workflows, payment tools, in-store experiences, and integrated ecommerce solutions.
- Digital Retail Strategy: Partnered with engineering, UX, and operations to shape AutoNation's long-term ecommerce and digital retail strategy. Known for translating real dealer operations into scalable digital solutions.
This progression gave me operational empathy that most product leaders never get. I understand what breaks in reality, not just what looks good in PowerPoints.

Product Leadership Philosophy
I ship products that solve real problems, not features that look good in PowerPoints.
First principles, fast iteration
What are we actually trying to help someone do? Start with the job. Iterate quickly. Ship with velocity and focus on what moves the business forward.
User experience should feel obvious
Dealers need simplicity, consistency, and measurable impact. Shoppers need clarity and confidence. Lower cognitive load and make the next step obvious.
Operational empathy over PowerPoints
Good product is built with real operational empathy — understanding what breaks in reality. I've been the salesperson, the manager, and the systems architect.
Every feature must have a defined business outcome
I care about measurable results: conversion lift, lead quality, response times, appointment show rates, and long-term retention. Outcomes over outputs.
AI should eliminate busywork, not complicate workflows
AI-driven segmentation, lead routing, and automation should make dealers faster and smarter — not add complexity or require training.
Build systems, not one-offs
I think in systems: reusable components, repeatable processes, and automation that compounds over time. Scale through structure.
Health Optimization & Performance
Peak performance at work requires peak health outside of it. I treat my body like a system — track metrics, run experiments, optimize continuously.
DNA-Driven Optimization: I use DNA analysis (23andMe, FoundMyFitness) to personalize supplement planning, identify genetic predispositions, and tailor my nutrition protocols to my unique biology.
Daily Metrics Tracking: I track glucose (CGM), HRV (heart rate variability), body composition, sleep quality, and recovery markers. Data drives decisions — not guesswork.
High-Protein, Performance-Focused Nutrition: My diet targets fat loss, muscle retention, and sustained energy. I experiment with meal timing, macronutrient ratios, and targeted supplements to optimize focus and recovery.
Structured Lifestyle Optimization: Resistance training, sleep hygiene, stress management, and building AI systems to automate health recommendations. GeneFuel started as a selfish project to combine my DNA, labs, and lifestyle data into one actionable platform.
Better health means better energy, sharper focus, and clearer decision-making — which translates directly to better outcomes at work and home.
Life Outside the Inbox
Husband and dad first, everything else second.
Family: I live in Westlake, Florida with my wife and three kids — a teenager and twins who keep life fun, loud, and never boring. Most of my time outside work is spent with them, building things at home, and staying active.
Personal Style & Values: Builder mindset. Bias for speed. Rapid iteration and constant improvement. Direct, clear, and fast. Highly creative but incredibly structured. Obsessed with solving problems and turning ideas into systems. I prefer shipping over theorizing.
Interests: DIY projects, gaming, home automation, tech experiments, and building systems that create freedom — automating work, optimizing health, building passive income streams. All so I can spend more time with the people who matter most.
What Drives Me: Never satisfied with "good enough." Able to see 10 steps ahead. Constantly asking: How can this be faster, clearer, better? The goal is optionality, freedom, and long-term impact.
