Kerry Smith – Parts Director

I was born November 19, 1964, in Chesapeake, Va. Although I often travel across the country, Virginia has been my home all my life. I’ve been happily married since 1992 and I am the father of two boys and one girl. I have many hobbies including being a musician, songwriter, recording producer & engineer. But the three things that my life is centered around is God, my family and being the pastor of my church (Discipleship Tabernacle in Va. Beach). I’ve been in this business for over 20 yrs. starting out as a remove and repair tech. (R&R guy). I feel that life is too short to be worried about tomorrow (which I’m not guaranteed), so I don’t spend my time worrying about the “one thing“ that I don’t have, because I’m too busy enjoying the “many things” that I’ve been blessed to have!
