What do you value most about the people you work with at Dealer Tire?
I value their engagement, their hard work, and commitment. I've seen that time and time again, people going the extra mile and doing what it takes to accomplish our mission. I really respect that level of commitment and engagement.
What is something you'd like to learn?
I'd love to go back and get a degree in art history or history in general. I'd love to learn how to draw cartoons. There are a lot of different cooking things I'd like to do. I'm always learning. I work with artists and sculptors as a hobby, so I'm learning from them, too.
How is Dealer Tire shaking up the industry?
We created an entirely new model and pushed a new channel of distribution that didn't exist before, and I think that had a significant impact on the rest of the tire industry. In many respects, it's helped consumers tremendously. Our next level is getting better and better at figuring out ways to impact dealers' operations.
