I moved to Boise in 1984 and have made a living in the automobile industry since that time. For 15 years, I have been employed with the Peterson family of dealerships. I have filled several positions under the Peterson organization, including my current role as the General Manager of Peterson's Stampede Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram for over 10 years.
My wife and I have three adult children, all living in Boise with their spouses and children. We currently have two grandchildren and one on the way. Our grandchildren bring me and my wife more joy than we could ever imagine! Our family is extremely important to us and as a result we have many family gatherings. We enjoy spending time with the family in McCall, skiing during the winter season, and boating in the summer. We love the Treasure Valley and are very fortunate to be a part of this vibrant community!
I have a passion for thoroughbred horse racing and I currently race all my horses throughout the northwest. In my spare time, I enjoy working on the family farm with my wife and boys as well as going to baseball practice in the warm summer months.
I began working in the auto parts business in 1982 and have both aftermarket and dealership experience. In October of 1987, I joined the Peterson family, moving with them from their downtown location on 12th and Main, to their location on Fairview and Maple Grove in 1992.
In August of 2004, I was given an opportunity to move to Peterson's Stampede, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram in Nampa as the Parts Manager. I gratefully accepted that offer and have been blessed with an awesome team. My department, as well as our whole dealership, is made up of a great crew who are honest and hardworking, a people who work hard to provide a desired end result, happy customers.
I am Chrysler certified and have many awards and certificates from Chrysler as well as the other manufacturers, which Peterson's represents.
I have a wonderful family which consists of my wife, 12 children, and 11 Grandchildren, with four more grand kids on the way! I enjoy spending time with my wife and spoiling the grandchildren. I like coaching the kids in their sports, supporting them in music, riding my bike, and playing the piano (a constant work in progress at best)!
I graduated from Boise
High, class of '80, and received my automotive degree from Phoenix Institute of
Technology in Phoenix, AZ. I began working in the automotive
industry as a technician. I took my first and only service manager position on
March 16, 1988 for Don Hull's Town & Country Volkswagen, AMC, Jeep, Renault
in Nampa, Idaho.
In November of 1995, the Peterson family purchased the franchise and kept me in
my position as the service manager. It is rare for dealerships to change ownership
and keep the existing management, but the Peterson's are people of high
integrity, and they gave me the opportunity to earn their trust. I will always
be grateful for that.
I am married to a
wonderful women and entrepreneur. We met building town homes together in west Boise. We were business partners, creating a small subdivision. Neither of us had any experience, but it was this experience that brought us together. I am blessed that she's stayed with me
through the years. I am a two-time cancer survivor and I experienced my last
battle when we were dating; who wants to bet on a potentially dead horse? Well
she did, and we've now had 11 great years. We have a blended family of four children and we've been blessed with a mixture of many talents and attitudes.
Within my career I have been rewarded with numerous awards and incentive trips, but really, that's not what counts to me?it's the care, love, and consideration one gives to family, business owners, and great customers, who ultimately provide for us all.
One last thing?I love to fish, but not the catching and cleaning part of fishing.
