More about me:

I have Worked full time since the age of 12 as a paper boy, paying taxes since 15. Some of my red neck jobs; Janitor assistant at the local High School Granite Falls. Machine shop handy man, The local 76 station were I pumped gas. Mink Ranch hand, Chicken picker, Fish Farm handy man, I also worked for Tramco now called Goodrich were I helped prep Airplanes for paint & worked in the shipping department.

I decided I wanted to be a sales man so went to Seattle training academy for special training in sales, store operations and landed a job at the local Mall. I started out spending 13 years as a "Shoe dog" and now a 13 years as a "Car Guy" in the Car Business.

I worked for Nordstrom’s as a Shoe salesman for about 7 years, I worked in Corte Medera, San Francisco Center in as a Sales Manager then coming back home and working at Bellevue Square. Before that Butler shoes from 1985 with my promotions I traveled to Santa Rosa, Stones town Galleria. I worked at the Hayward Mall during the Big Earthquake California in 1989 .

I started my career in the car business at Ford of Kirkland, when Maria Smith back owned it starting in March of 1996 after working in the Jewelry business in the Alderwood Mall. Then in 1999 Auto Nation bought her stores, at this time I was in the Internet selling department. This is were I learned how to type and work with a computer as I saw customers wanted to e-mail us for price quotes to learn more about the vehicle purchasing options before coming in to the store. I still use 3 fingers and need to look at the key board & have dyslexia so my spelling is , well : (

Then in November of 2001 a handful of us transferred to Prestige Ford in Bellevue. Later it was changed to Ford of Bellevue.

In February of 2005 I went to work with my friends at Auto Loan USA in Lake City were I worked as a loan officer for what is called "special finance customers" I did this for 2 months and found I enjoy the process of selling a car that a customer wants not just the loan package.

I went back to Ford of Kirkland in April of 2005, as it had a new owner and I thought I could re-connect with some of the customers I sold cars to from 1996 to 2001. I worked there from April 05 to November 07.

I now work for Ford of Bellevue since March of 2008 where I have also re-connected with customers as well as co-workers from my past. E-mail me @ lozottd@autonation.com or Carguydanl@gmail.com

I will say the friends I have made in the car business have been close and we are a good bunch of people.
