Sales Consultant
About
One of my earliest childhood car-related memories is the first time I sat in a Porsche 911 (930 Air cooled) in Hong Kong. I can still vividly remember how it felt to open the door and sit in the front seat. I have been lucky to have owned several Porsches during my life. My favorite recent daily driver was a 40th anniversary 911 coupe that I bought from our dealership. I am also one of the co-owners and drivers of our Carlsen (Porsche Redwood City) sponsored amateur autocross team that competes in local Porsche Club of America Golden Gate Regional events. I joined Carlsen Porsche in 2015. I have attended many great Porsche training and new vehicle launch events, and I pride myself on my product knowledge. I speak English, Cantonese 廣東話, Mandarin 普通話, and some Japanese. Please let me help you find or build the Porsche of your dreams, and realize many, many smiles per mile.
