Chairman & CEO National Van Lines
Helping customers move their memories is what we do best. Our approach to our business is to "Be flexible. Be honest. Be better."
We strive to be flexible in every situation and find alternatives that work for all stakeholders. Flexibility is the key to empowering our organization and our employees to truly take ownership of the company.
Being honest requires not only a commitment to doing the right thing, but also a terrific amount of courage in our day to day dealings with others. Honesty in our work relationships prevents walls being built that hamper organizational and personal effectiveness.
Being better requires us to constantly strive to improve ourselves personally and professionally. Only through continuous improvement will we find success. -

Alongside my brother, Bud, and cousin, Ken, I am proud to be part of the third generation of Interstate’s founding family. My long tenure in the transportation industry has played a pivotal role in building our company by expanding its business units and service offerings.
I have served in virtually every role possible at Interstate, including mover, warehouseman, long distance driver (and still proudly hold an active CDL-A!), recruiter, dispatcher, claims processor, fleet maintenance manager and Vice President, Operations. These diverse experiences have provided me with the extensive knowledge required to serve in my current role as President, Interstate Van Lines.
I have a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of South Florida. In addition, have served on the board of directors for the American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA) for two decades, including Chair of the Board (2017-2019). Our family values strong ties to the local community, and personally volunteered time with Leadership Fairfax, ArtsFairfax, the Fairfax County Public Library Foundation and The American Red Cross, National Capital Region.
