Working with our guests and my staff is what I like most about my position at Koons Arlington Toyota. Meeting many different types of people as we help them to get happily involved with our products and services. Our staff is like family. I am constantly challenging the sales staff to be the best they can be. We want them to deliver an exceptional experience to every client they touch. When away from the dealership it is all about family. With a wife and four kids there is always something to do. There are a variety of sports and activities to keep us very busy. The opportunity at Koons allows me the flexibility to offer them a safe and wonderful environment to grow and learn.
