Meet the Business Owner

Michael R.

Business Owner

Michael began his career in 2001 at Universal Technical Institute in Glendale Heights, IL. He graduated with a 4.0 GPA and honors. Michael was then selected to attend the Jaguar PACE Program in Orlando, FL and graduated at the top of his class with multiple factory certifications.

Through the apprenticeship program, he was quickly hired as a journeyman technician at Hornburg Jaguar in Santa Monica, CA. In the following years, Michael worked for two other dealerships in Southern California — becoming ASE Certified and factory trained in Ferrari, Maserati, and Land Rover along the way.

In 2010, Michael was recruited by a local independent Land Rover shop to move back to the Pacific NW (where he had grown up) and begin his career outside of the dealership.

In 2014 Michael and his wife Katie were ready to fulfill their dream of becoming business owners; opening Kings Cross Automotive.
