    I have been affiliated with Atlanta Classic Cars since the early 70's. My father started with the Ellis family when the dealer opened in Decatur. When I was fifteen I started my customer service career working at dry cleaners after school and on the weekends. During my college years I worked the Mercedes dealer in Athens in the service department. I graduated from Georgia State University in 1987 with a degree in Business Management and shortly afterwards went to work at a dealer. After 10 plus years working in the service industry I came back home to Atlanta Classic Cars. I married my wonderful husband on leap day in 1996 and 2 weeks later I started working for ACC. In 2000 I had a son named Connor and he is a gear head too! I enjoy what I do and I have the best clients anyone could ask for. My customers are my extended family as I now start taking care of their now adult children's cars. See you in the lane soon!!!!!
