- nickn@theautogallery.com
- (877) 289-2334
Nick is the son of a mechanic born and raised around cars. He learned how to drive at age eight and started changing oil and brakes by age ten. It was only natural that he landed in the automotive industry. His sister is a finance manager at a Cadillac store and his mother did accounts payable and receivable at a Toyota Dealership.
Nick went to school and got a degree in network administration because his Dad wanted him to make a living using his brain and not his hands. Nick soon realized that he hated a nine-five business day, a base salary and not to mention no human contact, so he turned back to cars! He wanted to find a job that allowed him to enjoy both his love of cars and interaction with people!
"I take pride in helping people purchase cars, not selling them."
After working with Audi for almost two years, he achieved the regional Walk-Around Title for the Western Region and is on his way to a second title. Nick has been with The Auto Gallery for a little over a year and enjoys every minute of his work day!
"I think Audi is pound for pound the best brand that I've seen constructed!"
