Our Story

D.A. Elite Auto BDC was founded from a deep rooted legacy within the automotive industry built on over two decades of leadership, operational expertise, and a commitment to excellence.

Dave, the Founder & CEO, brings more than 21 years of experience across nearly every facet of dealership operations, including BDC leadership, sales management, marketing direction, and performance strategy. Throughout his career, he has not only led teams he has developed them, refined them, and elevated their ability to perform at a high level.

His vision for D.A. Elite Auto BDC was never simply to create a service, but to establish a premium, performance driven organization rooted in structure, discipline, and long term industry impact.

Early in his journey, Dave personally mentored and introduced individuals into the automotive space at a young age, guiding them through their entry into BDC operations and dealership sales environments. One of those individuals began their career at 18 in a BDC role and, through disciplined development and leadership training, advanced into senior positions including BDC Director, Director of Marketing & General Manager. This progression reflects a core principle of the organization: elite performance is built through education, accountability, and opportunity.

At its foundation, D.A. Elite Auto BDC was created with a family led philosophy and a long term vision of legacy building not just a business, but a generational standard within the automotive industry. The company represents a commitment to developing high level talent, elevating dealership performance, and creating systems that consistently convert opportunity into measurable results.

Today, that philosophy remains unchanged. Every process, every strategy, and every client engagement is guided by precision, professionalism, and a relentless standard of execution.

Meet Ashley

I began my career at 17 in a BDC role, stepping into the automotive industry early and building my foundation from the ground up. Through disciplined development, hands on experience, and leadership training, I advanced into senior positions including BDC Director, Director of Marketing, and SDR leadership roles.

Growing up within the dealership world, I was immersed in the pace, structure, and expectations of automotive operations from an early stage. That foundation shaped not only my work ethic, but my understanding of how dealerships truly operate at a high level.

Today, I serve as Director of Operations at D.A. Elite Auto BDC, working directly alongside my father, Dave Founder & CEO. Together, we are building more than a business; we are building a legacy rooted in performance, structure, and long Term industry impact.
