With over 20 years experience exclusively in Land Rovers, I’m an avid collector and dealer. The collection keeps outgrowing warehouses, and I’m perfectly fine with that. Don’t ask where they are, I’ll never give them up!
About the age of 14, I was in Nantucket and saw my first old Land Rover running around the island. As cliché as it may be, it was love at first sight.
When Land Rover launched the 110 in the US, it fired up my interest yet again. When the local dealership opened up, I made a beeline for it. Seeing the 110s parked up on the rocks sealed the deal; I had to work with them. From the very beginning, Defenders were my passion. Years later, after achieving top Land Rover salesperson in the country, you could say the line between passion and obsession has become blurry.
While visiting the Miami car show in 1997, they had a Limited Edition, Willow Green, Defender station wagon up on the stand. I had to have one, and the rest was history..
