“The franchise family at CARSTAR is filled with a variety of backgrounds and experiences, and these varying demographics are what help make us better as a collective network,” added Michael Macaluso, president, CARSTAR. “As all of our stores often work together, whether it is one-off calls to seek advice, or our formalized EDGE Performance Group meetings, the unique perspectives of these individuals continue to make us better as a whole.”

David looks forward to getting involved in supporting CARSTAR’s charity of choice, cystic fibrosis, as well as the community he works and lives in.
