A true Hyundai family leader! Originally hailing from the beautiful Dominican Republic, José’s journey in the automotive world is fueled by a deep love for family and an unshakable faith in God. José is a devoted husband and father to three wonderful daughters. Family is the cornerstone of his existence, and he strives to replicate that sense of family at our dealership. Sports, especially baseball, run through his veins, with a family legacy intertwined with the game. His dad instilled a love for baseball during his childhood, and his brother's professional baseball journey further fuels his passion. Albert Pujols stands as his favorite baseball player, embodying determination and skill. When he’s not at work, José thrives on exploring the world with his loved ones, savoring new experiences, and relishing his mom's home-cooked Dominican dishes. His soul is attuned to Christian music, finding solace and inspiration in its melodies. The automotive industry is more than just a career for him; it's a calling. José loves the car business and takes immense joy in caring for our customers, ensuring their journey with Hyundai is exceptional.

I'm from New York. I bring positivity and amazing energy to anything I do. I love to travel, play sports, go to the beach, enjoy a nice BBQ, and hang out with friends and family. One of my favorite quotes is, "When actions become more frequent than words, success becomes heavier than dreams.” I'm ready to help you find your dream car and give you a great deal.
