Hello my name is Blake!

       Hello my name is Blake Garcia!  I am 35 years old and live in San Antonio, Texas.  My family is very important to me.  My wife works for one of the big homebuilders and we have a 4 year old daughter who is the center of our lives.  Everything we do is to give her a better life.  I own my own used car dealership and I work very hard to make sure that it runs smoothly.  I went to college, but school has never really been my strong point.  I want my daughter to excel in school and I am very concerned with her education.

     I really like the idea of technology, but I don't know much about it.  Each time I am told about a new gadget, I want it, but I really don't use the full functionality.  I don't do a lot of research, but listen mostly to what my friends and advisors tell me. If a new purchase requires installation, I prefer to have someone else do it for me.  I am too busy with my business and family to worry about doing it on my own.  I also feel that I don't know enough to understand how to put some things together.

     I eat out a lot, since my wife and I both work. We eat at a lot of the nicer restaurants in San Antonio and when we go out with friends it is normally to the nicer clubs and bars downtown.  I consider myself well off and don't really view money as an issue in my life.

    When it comes to friends, I keep mine very close.  I am always trying to help them out, by recommending their businesses to others, and using their services myself.  My friends tend to also be business acquaintances.  We are not the type to have profiles on Facebook, or any other social media sites.    We like to have fun and go out, but are also family men.  We like to watch sporting events together and really enjoy talking shop when we are around each other.

    I feel that people view me as very energetic and passionate.  I am the kind of guy who will buy a stranger a drink at a bar and strike up conversations with people I have never met.  I like fashion, and enjoy shopping for new clothes, but also leave it up to my wife to buy most of them.  I normally dress in athletic apparel, but like to dress up when I go out with friends.  I take pride in my body and work out a couple time a week, whether it is at home or at our local gym.

    My biggest fear is losing my family, followed by my business failing.  I get frustrated with the fact that I don't know much about setting up the new gadgets I buy.  I wish I didn't have to hire people to do some things for me.

   I would like to start a second dealership, or even expand my online capabilities, but cannot do it on my own.  I know I am successful when I can provide for my family and by daughter is doing well in school.
