Testimonials
“I proudly served twelve years as an Aviation Officer (Captain) in the United States Army and carried out multiple duties to include Company Commander, Air Assault Pilot, Nuclear, Biological, Chemical warfare officer, and Master Fitness Trainer to note a few. These duties and experience not only helped hone my leadership skills, but also fine-tuned my commitment to honor, service, character, and duty to country. Today, and for the past eight years, I have lead TCI’s sales and marketing efforts and new service offerings across all divisions of the company.”
“As a proud USAF Combat Veteran, I oversee the Military Veteran & Services Program here at TCI. I also run East Coast Operations out of Northeastern Ohio and the surrounding states. My passion is serving those who have served, and my top priority is building an industry-leading program for all Veterans and their family members. One of the major factors in my decision to joining the TCI family is how not only myself, but my military service was welcomed, and appreciated by such a great company. TCI has so many BIG things to come designed to support our Veterans, and I am honored to be here.”
“I am a proud United States Army Veteran, having served in the Army National Guard for 6 years as a Medic at Los Alamitos Army Airfield base in California. Today I manage TCI’s Ottawa dealership out of our Phoenix Arizona location. I also manage our Used Truck Dealership with multiple locations in California and Arizona. September 2022 was my 20th year at TCI. I am fortunate to work for a company where the owners are passionate about helping others and heavily involved in various nonprofit organizations.”
“TCI’s Veterans Program has been a top priority for not only our owners, but our fellow veterans within the company. And it has been thoughtfully built to support those who do not wear the uniform everyday anymore, yet who continue to serve this country as an essential part of America’s infrastructure. I am proud and honored to be on the TCI team.”
