Growing up, my passion for cars was ignited just like any other kid's. Pouring through all the automobile magazines astonished how cars like this can perform like they do, listening to them as they drive by, and wondering what it would be like to own something like that. Fast forward to today, and I find myself living the ultimate childhood dream - driving and working with Porsche models every single day. But it gets even better because I have the privilege of turning others' dreams into a reality too.
It's been an exhilarating two decades on this journey, and I am eternally thankful to each and every client who trusts us with taking precious moments out of their busy lives to have us. We consider it an honor to be part of their automotive adventures.
Our story goes back to 1964 when we first opened our doors. Ever since, we've proudly remained a tight-knit, family-owned and operated business. It's not just about cars for us; it's about the shared passion, the dedication, and the legacy we're building together.
So, if you're ready to embark on your own Porsche adventure and join our ever-growing automotive family, fasten your seatbelt, because the ride is about to get even more exciting. Welcome to a world where dreams are driven into reality, one Porsche at a time

I started out in my automotive career washing the family car in my driveway. Since then I have always been fascinated by the complex engineering and craftsmanship it takes to produce each one. The Porsche brand has always been at the cutting edge of performance, engineering and style within the automotive industry. I cannot imagine a better or more exciting brand to sell.

My journey in the automotive world kicked off in 2016, and it's been an incredible ride ever since! In 2022, I proudly joined the Porsche brand - and then in 2024 the Hennessy family. Let me tell you, representing this legendary brand and family is nothing short of exhilarating.
Before diving into this industry, I served 5 unforgettable years in the United States Marine Corps, where I learned the values of discipline, integrity, and commitment - qualities I bring into every client interaction.
I'm here to create tailored, unforgettable experiences. Getting to know my clients on a personal level is at the heart of everything I do, and it's what makes the Porsche journey truly special.
When I'm not helping people find their dream cars, you'll find me spending quality time with my amazing wife and three children or tearing up the trails on my mountain bike.

- Driving Porsche Passion Since 2013
Growing up in a military family, gave me the advantageous opportunity to not only travel, but experience new cultures, and explore my passion for adventure. My father was an avid Formula 1 enthusiast, and instilled that very same passion in me. Some of my favorite race cars are; Brabham BT46, Ferrari F2002 and Benetton B195. My passion for speed and powerful precision, led me to pursue a career in the automotive industry. I joined the Porsche Team in 2013, as a service advisor, and quickly climbed the latter into a management position in 2021. My ultimate goal is to be able to personally attend a Formula 1 race in the near future. And With the ever increasing possibility of Porsche joining the Formula 1 family in 2026, my ultimate dream is to witness history in the making by not only attending the race that was and will always be a catalyst for my career path, but to also be able to cheer on the most remarkable brand there is...Porsche.

- My passion for Porsche began quite literally from day one-I was driven to the hospital in a 944, born on 9/11, weighing 9 pounds 11 ounces, and was born at 9:28 AM.Named after legendary Formula One driver Emerson Fittipaldi, I grew up with a deep-rooted love for motorsport and automotive excellence. Porsche has always been more than a brand to me-it's a lifelong inspiration, a symbol of precision, performance, and purpose.Working for Porsche is the realization of a lifelong dream. Every day, I have the privilege of helping clients experience the thrill, elegance, and engineering brilliance that defines Porsche.

For me, passion and performance go hand in hand-both on the road and on the court. Since 2007, I've dedicated myself to two things I love: helping clients with their needs and playing tennis.
As a Porsche Brand Ambassador, I like to connect people with a driving experience that matches their lifestyle and aspirations. I take pride in helping clients discover the perfect model that fuels their passions.
When I'm not working with clients, you'll find me on the tennis court, where strategy, discipline, and competition drive me just as much as they do in sales. Tennis isn't just a sport to me; it's a lifelong pursuit for perfection, and keeps me pushing for the next challenge-much like the world of high-performance automobiles.
Whether it's the thrill of finding the right automobile or the satisfaction of a perfectly placed shot on the court, I bring the same dedication, energy, and drive to everything I do.

Internet Sales Manager - jmaza@hennessyporsche.com
Since my first ride in my father's 997 Turbo at the age of 12, I have been a Porsche enthusiast and dreamed of one day owning my own 911.
At 19, I began my career at Hennessy Porsche starting as a car washer. From the beginning, my goal was to advance within the brand and dealership. I left to gain sales experience and spent multiple years working with both BMW and Mercedes-Benz. After gaining the necessary qualifications and a strong desire to succeed, I returned to Hennessy Porsche.
Now, at 29 years old, I am excited and proud to be one of Hennessy Porsche's Brand Ambassadors. I hold myself to the highest standards, and my dedication to providing each of my clients with a VIP experience / treatment is evident in my performance.
I am now a father of 2 with my own family. My youngest daughter, Kyla Carrera, was named after my dream car and it excites me to pass my enthusiasm for the brand another generation. I currently own a 987.2 and will soon take delivery of my new 911 Carrera.

Valentina Music
Porsche Host - vmusic@hennessyporsche.com
Hey, I'm Val-short for Valentina, but no one really calls me that unless I'm in trouble. I've always been more grease and horsepower than glitter and gloss. Growing up, the sound of engines and the sight of fast, loud cars weren't just background noise-they were part of who I was. I didn't just admire them-I lived and breathed them. From an early age, I knew I wasn't cut out for anything ordinary.
As a Porsche Host, I get to welcome people into that world-making sure their experience is smooth, luxurious, and unforgettable. Whether someone's just browsing or picking up their dream car, I'm there to make sure they feel the magic that comes with being part of the Porsche family. What I love most? Seeing someone's eyes light up when they connect with a car-that spark, that instant click-it never gets old. It's not just about the vehicles. It's about making people feel like they belong in that moment.
Outside of work, I'm a bit of a thrill-seeker. I'm all about trying new things-new foods, new places, new adventures. I like to push boundaries, challenge myself, and see what else is out there beyond the usual routine. I believe the best parts of life happen when you step outside your comfort zone.

From the moment you walk in the door to the moment you're behind the wheel, you'll see why Porsche exceeds all expectations.Driving Porsche Passion Since 2024

I have seen Porsche introduce many milestone vehicles, from the 944 to the technical marvel of the 959. I've witnessed the launch of the Boxster and the first water-cooled 911 in 1998 as well as our four door Cayenne and Panamera. One high point for me was winning a trip to see Porsche compete at the Indy 500 in 1988. Having dinner with Al Holbert and Norbert Singer from Porsche Motorsport was an experience that I will never forget! All of these experiences have left me with an appreciation for the amazing vehicles Porsche creates. Looking back, I can say that the very best part of my 30+ years with Porsche was not the cars but the wonderful clients I have had the privilege to serve. Many have become my closest friends - my "Porsche Family!"

- My obsession with Porsche started at a very early age. When I was 5 years old my father took delivery of a brand new 1984 911 Targa. I remember the day vividly. It was a beautiful fall day, I climbed into the back seat and we drove around in it all day long. My father couldn't get enough of it and from that day forward neither could I. After spending decades in the food/beverage and hospitality space in NY, my family and I decided to move to Alpharetta. At that time, I also decided to make a big career change. I entered the automobile business with Porsche being THE goal. I'm so incredibly lucky to now be working with the Hennessy family. I appreciate the opportunity to be able to assist you with your next Porsche experience.Driving Porsche Passion Since 2023

It's been a long and winding road, but I'm back with Porsche where my automotive journey began. With over 40 years in the business, I've helped thousands of buyers navigate their purchase or lease of various brands of highline vehicles. However, at the end of the day I'm reminded of an early advertising slogan that rings true today: Porsche...there is no substitute.

Greetings! My name is Gene Smith and I hail from the Nation's Capital, Washington, D.C. I entered the Automotive Industry in 2013 after relocating to Houston, Texas. While in Houston I began my career selling Jeep Chrysler, Dodge, & Ram. Four years after selling domestic I was promoted to the Foreign division of the company where I sold Maserati, Alpha Romeo, and FIAT. Since relocating to Atlanta in 2021 I have sold Bentley, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Mercedes, and couldn't be happier to now be primarily selling the AMAZING Porsche vehicles.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my wife and family taking part in various church activities, working out at the gym, mentoring to our youth, traveling, and watching good cinema.
In closing, I welcome you to visit me here at Hennessy Porsche for your next new or pre-owned vehicle. I'll have the red carpet awaiting your arrival.

"Thank you for your consideration in Hennessy Porsche. My Name is Benjamin Davis and look forward to assisting you.
A little background on myself, I started selling cars in 2017 and quickly found a home with Audi and spent a great 5 years with the brand. Being who I am, I felt that it would only be right to move to Porsche to be able to represent the best and most Iconic brand in the automotive space. My passion for all things automotive started when I was much younger as some of my earliest memories were coming downstairs early Sunday mornings and watching formula 1 with my father. I can even remember a poster he had displayed on the wall above his work bench of various Porsche race cars. I even modeled one of my winning pinewood derby cars after the 1962 Porsche 804 Formula 1 car. With that said, it is fair to say that my love for the brand has been with me for a very long time.
As your brand Ambassador, I am excited to assist you in finding your next Porsche, whether it be a Macan or 911 GT3RS, and share my passion for this iconic brand along the way. My goal is to develop a long-lasting relationship and become your "Porsche Guy" that you can rely on well into the future.
Thanks for coming by and let's go for a drive!"

I have been in and around the Automotive industry, in some form or fashion, just as long as I can remember. Riding along with my father to the different dealer locations in the northeast where my uncles owned a handful of dealerships as a boy. As soon as I was able and had the opportunity to work on my own to find a niche in the auto industry I took the shot. After about 16 years on my own at various different brands in the auto industry, landing here at Hennessy Porsche North Atlanta aligns perfectly with what I am looking for right now. The automobiles, the enthusiastic atmosphere and the owner loyalty to the brand and the heritage excites me.

I have been into cars for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my father always pushed me to understand how things work and why. This led me to discover a love for all things mechanical. My favorite brand of cars is and has always been Porsche. Every video game or movie with a 911 in it, I just had to have it. My passion for the Porsche brand led me to the opportunity to join the Hennessy team in January of 2022 as a service valet. I was thrilled and humbled to be promoted to the role of service advisor. It is my goal to ensure every client has a wonderful experience servicing with us. I am beyond grateful to have the opportunity to work with each of my customers and I am here to help in any way I can!
