What did you think you wanted to be when you grew up? I wanted to work on the Indian reservations in North Dakota. I grew up in Venezuela and during the summer months each year our family would split time between Pittsburgh and the foothills of North Dakota.
How long have you worked in the auto industry? 12 months
What do you drive now? 2002 BMW 325xi
Are you out at work? Yes
Was being gay ever an issue at any of your jobs? Not in 20+ years; not once
If you had one piece of advice to give to a gay person wanting to work in the auto industry, what would it be? Be yourself. Choose yourself. Remember that people, including yourself are truly great; be generous and trusting. Don’t take yourself so seriously. Every one else is up against it, too.
Ok, here is the fun part; if you had $25,000 and had to buy a new car, what would it be and why? The best valued, newest year BMW 4 door sedan I could locate.

Same question but bigger budget; $50,000: Ditto above, verbatim.
If money was no object and you had to drive it every day:
The newest 2010 BMW, fully loaded AWD.
What is your favorite car of all time and why?
Acura Legend. It screamed luxury and cool in the early 90’s. Great design and lines. I looooooovvvvvvved that car. My brother, Danny, lived in Atlanta and had one. i thought he was the bomb. He was. I went to see he and his partner every year. I was jealous that he had that hot decked out Legend. :):):
If your car/truck could talk, what would it say about you?
“She is efficient, sassy, listens to and sings Eddie Vedder and Kanye West songs just a tad too loud for her age, and in need of auto related accessories for organization.”
