director of sales, usa

Fred has been a car guy his entire adult life. Having started on the floor at Parkway Toyota in Hamilton, Ontario, he quickly became its top producing salesman; Fred then moved to Classic Honda in Brampton, and  finally Valley Chrysler in Woodbridge, where he rose through the ranks and eventually became general manager of the largest Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Eagle, and Renault dealership of its era.

Those of us who are old enough, remember what a challenge it was in those days to run a Chrysler store – Fred ran it at a young age, and did so successfully.

Fred’s automotive experience includes 12 years as the regional distributor (Central and South America) of several Southeast Asian automotive OEMs.

This clearly showed Fred was ahead of the curve in recognizing the tremendous opportunity presented by these nascent OEMs.

Family commitments brought Fred back to Canada, where he brings to Templeton Marsh as its director of sales, usa, his experience, expertise and the ability to identify opportunities before anyone else.
