Bio
With over 20 years of experience in the Marine Retail industry, primarily focused on the Finance & Insurance (F&I) department, Corey built a career defined by leadership, mentorship, and operational excellence. His journey took him across the country, exposing him to a variety of markets and allowing him to connect with countless professionals in the industry. In his most recent role, he supported, trained, and guided more than 40 Finance Managers—an experience he considers the most rewarding chapter of his career. Helping others grow into successful F&I professionals became his driving purpose.
In August 2024, following a corporate downsizing, Corey embraced a new challenge by transitioning into Commercial Real Estate. Raised in a real estate-oriented household, he had early exposure to the industry, providing a strong foundation for his new career path. His background in retail sharpened his skills in negotiation, contract management, and client relations—all of which have translated seamlessly into his current role.
Today, he is committed to delivering a world-class client experience through market insight, financial analysis, and reliable follow-through. He brings a results-driven mindset and a service-first approach to every client interaction, ensuring each transaction is handled with professionalism and precision
