More About Mike:
Mike has only been working here since 2011, but he has been a part of the Park Place family for much longer as a repeat customer and good friend.
Retired from 33 years in pharmaceutical sales, Mike spent so much time at Park Place that we finally told him to get to work! He was looking for a little something to fill his free time, and we needed extra help in our busy consignment department, so it was a natural match.
Mike's great attitude, extensive business experience, and deep knowledge of everything automotive make him fit in perfectly. As you might have guessed, he is a consummate car guy. He started doing track days in 1979 with a 1976 Porsche 911, and he's kept doing them ever since, currently in his E93 M3. Mike has owned a plethora of great cars, including 5 BMW M cars, 7 Porsches, 4 Alfa Romeos, 3 Corvettes, 3 Z cars, and a variety of assorted classics that include the '67 Shelby GT500 fastback.
If you have your car advertised and get a call from Mike, we think you will enjoy your interaction…and be sure to give him a hard time about the nuns.
