Business History

As a native of Eugene, Oregon I have a long history of business in this area.  

In 1980 I created a small business in college for a term paper called "Little Shine Company".   After the assignment I ran a small detail and paint business on the side thru college and my term in the military. 

In 1986 I established a automotive service company, "Classic Shine Auto Mall Inc."  Over a five year period the company grew to be the largest detail service center in Lane County, Oregon, with 20 employees and $400,000+ in gross sales.  

In 1991 I added a full-service auto collision and paint department.  Over a 5 year period the department grew into a $500,000 gross income entity.  In July I sold the department in order to concentrate on a new division, sales of parts and service.  In two years the parts and accessory division grew to an average gross income of $50,000 per month.

In 1999 I sold Classic Shine Auto Mall Inc. and the business as a successful and profitable organization.  Today the business is under new ownership and is doing very well.

Year 2000 I joined "Oregon Business Properties, Inc." a business brokerage firm servicing the state of Oregon as an associate.  I am now using my business education and experience to help other entrepreneurs with their business needs.  I am having a great time and the personal rewards are felt every time I help someone get into business or move on from a business they have owned.

I thank everyone that has used my services large or small and am sure I can help you or an associate of yours sometime in the future.
