I have known Allan for over 25 years. I’ve been on two board assignments where Allan was involved. The Motor Vehicle Advisory Board where I worked directly with him. He was excellent in his work and very transparent on how to make the Automotive business better in the state of Utah. The other board I served on was the New Car Dealers of Utah. I served as board president and work a great deal with Allan while traveling throughout the state introducing him to every dealer in the state. Great experience!
