The Toyota Matchmaker in Utah — here's the guy behind the handle.
Family brought me here. Karl Malone kept me.
I moved to Utah in 2024 from my hometown of San Diego, California, to bring my family closer to our relatives. And no — before you ask — it was not for the weather. I make that joke every single time, and I'm not stopping now.
Professionally, I bounced around a few dealerships looking for the right fit. Then I walked into Karl Malone Toyota and found a home. Karl's kind soul and generosity are what keep me here, and this team is hands-down the best I've ever worked with. That's saying a lot — I'd never stayed anywhere longer than a year in my life. I've been here since April 2025, well past that mark, and I'm not going anywhere.
The way I sell comes from the way I was raised: family first, straight answers, and treating people like they'll be in your life for the next twenty years — because if I do my job right, they will be.
When I'm not matchmaking
The Outdoors
Hiking, camping, off-roading — if it involves dirt and elevation, count me in. The Mountain West is my playground, and its national parks are my happy place.
The Passport
I've been traveling to Mexico for nearly twenty years, and the list keeps growing from there. New places, new food, new people — that's the good stuff.
The Fan Cave
¡Hala Madrid! I'm a die-hard Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo fan — yes, that's a real CR7 tattoo in the photo. Fight nights are a ritual: you'll find me at Fierce Fighting Championships and SteelFist Fight Night events, especially when The Pit SLC — my favorite MMA gym in Utah — has fighters on the card.
I grew up in Richmond, Virginia before San Diego, so it's Redskins forever (I refuse to address them as Commanders), Virginia Tech — Let's Go Hokies! — and Michael Vick from day one. On the hardwood it's the Lakers, because Kobe Bryant is my GOAT — rest easy, Mamba. And when it's finally quiet? I'm gaming.
Dream cars & favorite Toyotas
If the Supra on my home page felt personal — that's because it is.
Now you know your Toyota guy.
If any of this sounds like someone you'd want in your corner for your next Toyota, I'd love to meet you. Bring your questions, your trade-in — even your toughest negotiator uncle. Everyone's welcome.
