Ray's Bio

In the beginning...

     I have been in the retail automotive industry for over 40 years. I started as a young and energetic sales person, selling import cars at a small boutique dealership in Newport, RI. I met my beautiful wife of 44 years on that lot and became the luckiest guy in the world.

     It was then that I got hooked on selling cars and quickly moved up the ladder to used car manager, sales manager and general sales manager. We grew our automotive empire quickly to a +150 new and used car per month store into the mid 1980's. I left there having 12 world class sales people, and 5 other managers under my leadership. All have moved on in their careers and have been quite successful.

Next up, I graduated to general manager and executive VP in Nashua, NH. At one point, I was responsible for 3 different locations and multiple franchises. Always the leader in used car marketing, manufacturer certification programs and a factory certified top tier performer in new and used car sales. My customer satisfaction ratings were consistently excellent.

      As a graduate of the NADA Dealer Candidate Academy, I was trained in the knowledge of total dealership operations. I have the deepest respect for the service and parts departments (fixed operations), they are truly the backbone of any dealership.

     Forever the salesman, my heart continues to be in the showroom. My personal mantras are truth, honesty, respect and transparency. I never forget that the customer pays my salary and that happy customers come back and refer others.

     Today, I am fortunate to offer you my decades of experience. I can help you find and buy your next car, broker the car you no longer need, or help a dealer troubleshoot and repair their business. 

     I look forward to a meaningful conversation with you and assure you that you will receive my full and undivided attention.

Wishing you all the best!
