    Certified Sales Consultant
    (904) 998-9992 x 223

    Born in Rzeszów, Poland where his childhood hobbies included calling out loud the names of every car he saw on the road looking out of the bus window by the age of 4.  By the age of 7 Maciej ran a successful Hot Wheels carwash business on his bedroom carpet.  He moved to Chicago at the age of 8 where he could continue looking and learning about so many new vehicles not seen at home and never missed Chicago's International Auto Show.  At the age of 16 Maciej moved to Miami, FL where he found and adopted a 1981 Yamaha XS650 and brought it back to life.  Maciej graduated Florida International University in 2012 and has been serving customers in the optical industry before making a switch to cars: his true passion.

    In his spare time Maciej loves to shoot pool, focus over a chess board, work on his motorcycle, and spend time with his cat Smudge.  During the weekend he loves to ride local mountain biking trails or visit car shows and attend car races with his camera.  During slow times Maciej loves to study new topics and stays up to date with all the latest automotive news.  Maciej has also traveled cross-country and is now able to assemble his tent blindfolded.

    Maciej's passion for cars runs deep and each car to him is like an individual family member. With his intimate knowledge of automobiles he is sure to find the right car/SUV for you depending on needs like features and price while remembering the wants, like driving enjoyment, luxury options, prestigious brands and colors.
