My name is Daniel, and I’m a finance specialist with experience in auto finance since 2004. I take pride in helping people find the financing that makes owning a quality vehicle possible. I work with clients with credit challenges to put together a portfolio that will get them approved. I specialize in creative finance to acquire credit not from an arbitrary score, but from their employment, life experience, and personal stability. I guide them through the car buying process from start to finish.
