Born and raised in St. Catharines and still living in the north end. Lucas likes to keep fit in his spare time. After high school, he attended Mohawk College in Hamilton and earned a degree in Business Marketing. Three years ago a family friend suggested he try car sales due to his outgoing personality. Sales of new vehicles was very limiting so a move to CMH Auto Superstore with it’s huge inventory of used vehicles has provided a welcome challenge. Lucas invites all his friends and acquaintances to stop in and see him for a great deal on a used vehicle.
