Prior to retiring from the Clay County Sheriffs Office as a Homicide Detective, I spent 8 years in the car business with the Saturn Corporation. I began my career with Saturn in new and used car sales; however, after about a two years with Saturn I was transitioned into management and ultimately became the General Manager of the retail facility. I left the car business to fulfill my lifetime goal/dream of becoming a Law Enforcement Officer which was fulfilled. Although I enjoyed my time in law enforcement, I’m beyond excited to be back in the business where it all began. Please give me the opportunity to earn your business at Murray Ford, you will not be disappointed.
