Born-and-raised Kelowna boy and 91裸聊视频渃ar guy91裸聊视频� to the core, Andrew likes to start his workday with a little waterskiing at the crack of dawn.

I meet Andrew for the first time early one morning and can91裸聊视频檛 miss him as he pulls into our meeting place in an absolutely stunning 1967 Firebird 400 convertible that quickly draws a crowd of onlookers. I think to myself 91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频渢his guy91裸聊视频檚 got some serious style!91裸聊视频�

A career in car sales was a natural fit for Andrew. He was born into the business 91裸聊视频� his grandfather owned the first GM store in Kelowna until about 1970 and then a Honda store after that.

91裸聊视频淚 grew up around that store, cleaning cars and sweeping the lot. I91裸聊视频檝e always really liked cars,91裸聊视频� he says.

His innate love and ability to connect with people was another factor.

91裸聊视频淚 got into the business really because I like working with people. I91裸聊视频檝e always tried to be very personable and easy to talk with. It91裸聊视频檚 fun for me, meeting new people and talking with and learning about them. You meet all sorts of people in this business 91裸聊视频� some of our clients have amazing collections, so I get to experience and see them. Connecting a person with what they91裸聊视频檝e always wanted is what makes it a lot of fun and keeps me in it.91裸聊视频�

In addition to the aforementioned love of waterskiing, Andrew is also passionate about the very new addition to his family 91裸聊视频� his five-month-old son.

Asked what quality he hopes to pass on to his son, Andrew says, 91裸聊视频淏eing a dad is something I91裸聊视频檝e always looked forward to and if I could pass something on to him, it would be to treat people with respect. That91裸聊视频檚 the way I grew up 91裸聊视频� to always have respect for the people around you and for people who are older than you. Sometimes I feel that it91裸聊视频檚 something that has been lost. Everybody you meet has a story and if you understand that and give respect, it91裸聊视频檚 easier to solve problems.91裸聊视频�

When it comes to style, for Andrew, it91裸聊视频檚 all in the attention to detail.

91裸聊视频淚f you91裸聊视频檙e looking at car style it91裸聊视频檚 all about the lines, all about the shape, the look; it91裸聊视频檚 how each piece plays into each other. And how the pieces play into each other is the same thing I like with personal style. It91裸聊视频檚 finding little things that match: carrying a colour from the shirt into the shoe, matching a watch band with a belt. It91裸聊视频檚 the attention to details. You don91裸聊视频檛 have to be wearing a suit and tie to have good style; it can be really simple, basic stuff. But good style is when attention has been paid to the details.91裸聊视频�
