Where it
Started

"Sold cool people,
cool cars."

Every great career has an ignition point. Michael's was a Porsche showroom in Annapolis — learning that selling an exceptional machine is really about understanding what people want from life, and earning their trust in about twenty minutes.

That instinct — product conviction, rapid trust, consultative close — has powered every role in the decade since. From Manheim's wholesale lanes to Cox's national accounts to building EV data infrastructure at Recurrent.
