"I moved to back to Nebraska with my family in January of 2020 after 17 years in Denver, Started in the automotive industry in 2006. I have always been interested in cars, a passion that started as a child. I have a wife  (Carling) who teaches special needs for LPS, my son (Elliot) is 7 and is in 2nd grade this school year and my daughter (Estella) who is 3 and loves cars just as much as dada. We have always thought Lincoln would be home for us as we love Husker football and the people in this area. We love going to car shows as a family with our 1962 C10. I'm glad my passion for cars can also be my career. It's been great becoming a member of the team at Watsons."
