"Toyota is always on the cutting edge of style and technology and the thought of working for one of the largest manufacturers of automobiles in the world appeals to me. My interest in automobiles came from my father who was a die-hard Toyota fan. Every car he purchased in his life was made by Toyota or Lexus. I look forward to bringing that same kind of passion we shared to work with me every day."

I just spent the last 8 years with all my closest friends being mechanics and learning new things has always intrigued me, so I spent these years learning about different vehicles and I know so many people love Toyotas.
