Steve Ortiz, Awesome Car Guy!

It was not Steve’s lifelong dream to be selling cars. He wanted to be an actor. He did study acting a little, but then life interfered and Steve had to get serious. FYI, he did not just want to act, he wanted to be in film. 

Fate definitely had other plans. Steve was delivering auto parts and one day the axle on his car broke. No car, no delivering! While looking for a different way to make some money he saw an ad for a car salesperson.

Kismet! Steve is a gifted salesperson.
