Welcome! I'm Frank Tepesano! I was born in Camarillo in Ventura County, California, and have lived there all my life. My hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, and, recently, photography. I especially enjoy taking morning walks with my dog, "Cadillac." I have been a Sales and Leasing Consultant at Silver Star Cadillac for 17 years. I am a Cadillac Mark of Excellence Award winner. Over the years, I have helped my clients with multiple purchases and assisted their families, neighbors, and associates. I will happily provide references upon request. I pride myself on my knowledge of the Cadillac line. You will know the features that will be most useful to you before you ever drive off in your new Cadillac. I will follow up to ensure that you understand using these elements. This time can also be used to expand your knowledge of other features, if necessary. It is essential that you know how to use these aspects of the vehicle to enjoy your Cadillac to the utmost. Please enjoy your time on the website, and don't hesitate to get in touch with me for a simple and rewarding experience.

Hi! My name is Carlos. I’m originally from Nashville, though I’ve also lived in Puerto Rico, Nevada, Delaware, and even Turkey! My father was in the military, so I grew up traveling. I have been to London, Paris, Rome and Germany. One thing on my bucket list is to travel to every state, I’ve been to over 30 so far! I am a proud father to three daughters and I work hard to support them.
