On the lot.
duPont REGISTRY.

  • Gates open at 8. I'm usually there before the cars.
  • Every delivery gets unloaded, inspected, photographed, logged. Nothing hits the floor unchecked.
  • Lot Ops & Events Manager at duPont REGISTRY Lebanon. The calendar, the keys, and the handoffs run through me.
  • A building full of exotics teaches you quickly that details are the whole job.
  • Event days start before sunrise and end after the last guest clears the rope.
  • The lot taught me that reputation lives in the small stuff — a returned call, a clean bay, a car that's ready.

After hours.
Building the rest.

  • When the gate shuts, the laptop opens. Different work, same standard.
  • Building AI tools for lot ops, inventory, and lead capture — the problems I run into at work are problems other people have too.
  • Writing about cars, hustle, and what it actually looks like to work around something you love.
  • Detailing student. Paint correction, ceramic coating, the whole process — not a weekend thing, a discipline.
  • I document what I build because when I was starting out, I needed someone to go first.
  • Started with a bucket and a borrowed hose. The tools changed. The approach didn't.

Day shift

Two shifts. One operation.

Day · 08:00 → 18:00

Lot operations at duPont REGISTRY, Nashville

Every exotic and luxury car on the Lebanon lot goes through inspection, photography, writeup, and staging before it reaches a buyer. The gate opens at eight. Nothing leaves until it clears.

Lot Operations and Events Manager, duPont REGISTRY — the largest exotic car marketplace in the country. The gate, the calendar, and the camera all run through the same person.

Twenty-six years in technology don't disappear when the gate closes. Supercar IQ, The Gloss Game on Amazon, Paddock20 — tools built by someone who spent the day on the lot, not someone who read about it.
