ABOUT THE CAR SHRINK
Since early childhood cars have been my passion.
I remember begging my father to keep up with a 1970s Ferrari 308. At six years old my Uncle Marv’s Jaguar Series 3 burned up and he consulted me for guidance on his next purchase. My first summer job in the 80s was selling high end car stereos, wheels, and accessories. My dream was to be a race car driver so I told my parents college started a month early and went to Europe to drive in the famous Winfield Elf Formula Renault program at Magny Cours France.
After graduating University with a BBA in Automotive Marketing Management I moved to Los Angeles in 1993 and landed a job at a Ferrari/Porsche dealership. Many Porsche enthusiasts would say the final “Air Cooled years” were of the best times in Porsche history, and with the return of Luca di Montezemolo at the helm of Ferrari many of its greatest models were unveiled.
I started working at Ferrari of Beverly Hills in 1997 and by 1998 I was manager. I have a very close working relationship with the company still, as well as many high-end car dealers, manufacturers, and the most reputable auction houses around the world.
With a lifetime of dedication, knowledge, and experience, I provide a concierge service and strategy to buying new and classic cars. I have access to a vast network of connections: dealers, collectors, and colleagues to assist in finding the car you want with the utmost discretion. I manage private treaty sales with the highest standards of privacy as well as providing expert advice in financing and insurance. If you’re interested in bidding or consigning with an auction house I can walk you through the process. I offer VIP service to a variety of racing and rally events around the world. If you want to drive in the Mille Miglia, watch the Monaco Formula One from a yacht, race in the Ferrari Challenge, or simply test your new toy at race tracks around the world, I can make it happen.
The truth is, if cars weren’t my business I’d still be doing this every day because I love it. First and foremost, I care deeply about my clients’ personal and financial interests. And as important as it is to me, I still know how to make it fun.
Life is too short when you’re driving an amazing car, but it can be painfully long when you own the wrong one.
