I have been serving customers in different segments of the automotive aftermarket for over 20 years. In the late 1990’s / early 2000’s I led the turnaround of the Sears Automotive Group, which included over 1100 Sears Auto Centers and National Tire & Battery shops. After that I led the turnaround of Pep Boys and its 550+ supercenters (service, retail & wholesale under one roof) plus the opening of 250+ new service & tire centers. After that, I helped to quickly re-position a successful regional warehouse distributor with high product availability and customer service levels.
My experiences have shaped my unique understanding of the different channels in the automotive aftermarket and the different needs of customers in each segment. In my role with the investors of XL Parts, we also have interests in future automotive technologies involving data, autonomy, and mobility.
Our core operations are based in Texas (d/b/a XL Parts) and Florida (d/b/a The Parts House). Through acquisitions and new stores we now operate over 180 locations throughout these core states and also in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and Puerto Rico. One of our objectives is to be only a 10-15 minute drive time away from our customers.
