    I have been a St.Clair Shores resident for most of my life and enjoy time with my nephews and nieces.
    Before I was in the car business, I was in theatre business working my way up from usher to General Manager.
    I enjoy all sports and compete on a USTA tennis league.  I also  I enjoy the game of golf.
    In my 61/2 years at Meade Dodge, I have been fortunate to build a base of loyal customers and continue to grow that base now that we also carry the Chrysler and Jeep brands.  I offer customers the best service possible and answer all questions to determine their wants and needs. It gives me great satisfaction and pleasure watching a customer driving the car of their dreams.

    My goal is to create a personal and stress free car buying experience and because of that experience, customers choose to return to me for their next vehicle and refer friends and family!
    It is great to live close to work, as I am a Grosse Pointe resident where I live with my husband and son

    You are in good hands!  My background is customer service, banking and have owned several businesses, but my passion is in the automotiveindustry where I have worked for over 8 years.
    When not working, I enjoy traveling, cooking and playing online poker.
    I am always available to offer any help I can give with your car buying experience.
    I invite you to come in and test-drive your next Chrysler vehicle with me!

    I have been with The Meade Auto Group for over 14 years.  My lovely wife and I have been married for 19 years and enjoy spending time with our 8 grandchildren.
    I am an avid fan of the game of golf.  If I'm not playing golf, I'm watching golf!
    When I entered the car business here at Meade, I achieved the title of "Salesman of the Year" for 6 consecutive years.  Helping my customers find the vehicle that is right for them at a price they are comfortable with is my goal. 
    I am truly fortunate to have such a large group of loyal customers. 
    I respect each and every one of them and I believe that is why they feel comfortable sending their friends and family to me.

    I was born to Bill & Wanda Griffin and raised in Detroit.  1½ years separate older brother, younger sister, to which we enjoy a very close relationship continuing today!  We moved to a nearby suburb, where I graduated from Southfield Lathrup High School. In 1985, I was on the swimming and diving team earning a distinguished honor for Springboard Diving, and the first African American Diver to earn All-State status in Michigan placing 4th out of 72 divers making the finals. After graduation I attended Schoolcraft College, and studied Computer Information Systems. 

    I am married to Angela Moss-Griffin, and together raise a 9-year-old daughter, (she and I share the same birth month of February) and son John, who is a senior in college.

    My work career started at the age of 16 at Sibley's Shoes (where my father was Exec.VP).
    I remember working at Sibley's in earlier years (age 11),stocking  shelves at the downtown
    location.

    I have worked at Digital Equipment Corporation, (the 2nd largest computer company to IBM
    at the time) where I earned six promotions.  I left DEC when the company downsized, but
    quickly established Bejay Landscape & Design Co., in which after a few years I sold to a
    larger competitor

    I currently sell new and used cars and trucks here at The New Meade Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram where we are going thru expansion and excitement. I have been named top in sales for the past 10 years.  My customers know that I am a sincere and honest person who puts them first.

    In my leisure, I enjoy spending time with my family and church family at Calvary Baptist Church, where I am a Deacon. I mentor to all I come in contact with.  My good morals and values of life are attributed to my parents who have allowed me to stay positive and to reach for the stars by setting great examples. They are still married 46 years and counting!

     I especially thank them for the introduction to Jesus, at an early age, attending church and singing the song "In The Name Of Jesus" (We have the Victory). In 1985 I  accepted Christ in my heart and was baptized while attending The Greater New Light Missionary Baptist Church. As I believe God is the reason I am, and the reason I will be. I love God more than anything in this world.
