Executive Bios

Carl is the President of Metro 24 Wholesale, Inc., where he leads all company operations. His career in the auto parts industry began at the age of 13 in 1997 when he started working weekends doing tire installations at a local junkyard. 

This early exposure sparked a lifelong passion for the industry, motivating him to learn as much as possible. Over the next eight years, Carl successfully managed several retail tire stores, followed by another four years in the wholesale tire sector, where he managed a multi-state sales program for a large distributor.

Carl’s expertise in TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors dates back to 2004, when he first gained hands-on experience while working in retail tire installations, well before TPMS was mandated by the government. His knowledge deepened as he attended TIA workshops and became TIA certified in 2012. 

Carl’s exceptional skills led to his selection for the prestigious TPMS testing program with General Motors at their Milford, MI proving grounds. There, he worked alongside GM’s engineering team, gaining a comprehensive understanding of TPMS technology and its vital role in automotive safety.

With over a decade of experience in the TPMS field, Carl is a recognized expert in tire sensors and continues to make significant contributions to the development of TPMS technology and safety advancements. As he says, "I’m a true student of the business, constantly learning in this ever-evolving industry of emerging technologies."

Today our troops continue to make the ultimate sacrifices, and even as we lose troops, more Americans continue to step forward to say, I’m ready to serve. They follow in the footsteps of generations of fine Americans.” - Michel de Montaigne
