    After playing 11 years of Professional Baseball in the Major/Minor Leagues with the Baltimore Orioles, Montreal Expos, Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs my career was ended with a severe arm injury to my throwing elbow. My career, even though shorten by injury was very rewarding. I was a member of the 1983 World Championship Orioles, and played on 5 other Championship teams throughout my 11 years.


    In the fall of 1987 I began working part time in the automotive business as a salesman while I was going through rehab for my arm injury. I unfortunately had to give up baseball in 1990 as there was just no coming back from my injury to continue playing at a competitive level in the Major Leagues. That same year I went full-time in the automotive business and worked my way up from Salesperson, to Sales Manager, to General Sales Manager and currently President/General Manager.


    I have been with the Brown's Automotive Group for 20 plus years and truly enjoy being part of the winning team!

    The mid-Atlantic region feels like home to me. Its low key, laidback, here & now! What a great place to work, live, play, laugh and help others move forward in a new Toyota or Scion. I spend most of my spare time getting to know the world and people around me. I chose Toyota sales almost 9 years ago because of Toyota's standard for excellence and integrity. 9 years later, my customers are still coming back to me for their second, third fourth cars for themselves and their families. I consider my customers my friends and neighbors.
