It is an honor to have been selected by SEMA as a candidate for the Board of Directors. I am a devoted automotive aftermarket enthusiast and a businessman dedicated to the growth and success of our industry. While we face many challenges to the way we have done business in the past, I believe that there are tremendous opportunities that will lead our industry into new areas of growth and profitability.
My business career spans multiple industries and business functions providing me with a broad leadership perspective. My role as CEO of Keystone Automotive Operations, Inc. brings me tremendous professional and personal satisfaction. Growing our business, supporting our jobbers, and partnering with SEMA and SEMA members to support industry growth has been a great privilege. I am confident that we will work and grow together to tap our industry’s full potential.
I support SEMA through membership on the SEMA Investment Committee. This position has provided me with an understanding of what SEMA is, the power of its membership, and our common interests and concerns. It was my privilege to lead our company, Keystone to be the Warehouse Distributor of the Year 2007. We are members of ARMO, HRIA, LTAA, PRO, SCC and WTC. We participate in the SEMA Show and SEMA’s Scholarship Fund, and I am a current member of the SEMA PAC.
If elected to the SEMA Board, I will continue to emphasize your concern for the industry and its growth in all my efforts. I believe that I am in a unique position to help bring the groups that can benefit our industry together to our mutual satisfaction and advancement.
