Not one leader is the same. Situational leadership stresses the importance of variables; it factors in the style and maturity levels of the followers. Different situations demand different styles of leadership and decision making. Leaders must act on the situation at hand.
Have you had a mentor or coach influence your leadership style? If yes, how so?
While in the Navy, I saw many leadership styles— some good and some bad. There was one petty officer I looked up to, in particular. We believed in each other. And he passed on to me the great opportunity to lead my own team. In my first year of leadership, my team did very well. Our accomplishments earned me a Navy Achievement Medal. Plus I learned that in order to be a great leader, you need the ability to recognize your peoples’ strengths and weaknesses. And this still holds true to this day!
How do you define success?
I define success by knowing I did my best today. Knowing I did everything possible to provide for my team, my family, our mission, even just a task, is a success. At the end of the day, you either go home feeling fulfilled or not.

What is your favorite word?
Family. Or Fam!
What makes Scott Auto Group the right place for you?
The relationships I’ve been able to form with both customers and team members. I’ve even asked my extended family, my customers, for their thoughts on this one. They told me I’m the reason they continue coming back to Scott Honda. They agreed my high level of customer & team care, professionalism, and reliability never let them down.
