Fleet Leasing was sold to U.S. Fleet Leasing in the early "80's" so in 1983 he and Steve Keeler started Northwest Fleet Lease.
Northwest Fleet Lease has grown to be the largest independent lease company in the state by providing honest and professional advise to customers wanting to lease vehicles and equipment.
