    I have only had two true loves in my life. My wife Karla who I married in 1991 and BMW automobiles which I started selling in 1992.

    I will admit that at first I did not understand the difference between a car and a BMW. Two things happened soon after I started selling BMW's that made me understand. First a Sales Manager named Rick Pope saw something in me. He thought that if he let me drive a BMW every day, just back and forth to work, then I would sell more. Around that same time, one of my best friends from High School and College was getting married in Wichita, KS.

    I bet you have the rest of the story figured out already. I drove my 1992 Bright Red 318is Stick Demo from Tuscaloosa, AL. to Little Rock, AR. I got a few hours of sleep and picked up another old friend, then drove straight to Wichita, KS. We arrived at the Church about ten minutes before the wedding started. After the wedding we drove straight back to Little Rock. By the time I got back to Tuscaloosa I understood what "JOY In Driving" was all about!

    Now all these years later I still have Karla and a job helping other people find their "JOY In Driving!"

    Thank You,

    Kevin Garner

    Hello my name is Eric Wilhoite, Pre-Owned Sales Manager here at Tom Williams BMW. I have been in the Automotive Sales Profession since 1996 here in Birmingham...

    In 2004 I met the love of my life, Niki. In 2006 we were blessed with the birth of our son, Braxton. My goal in this position is to re-write the typical "car guy" stereotype by introducing great things such as our "No Haggle Pricing." In this, we price cars the right way the first time, without the pain of going back and forth with a dealership. I look forward to meeting you all.

    Nothing brings me greater satisfaction than a happy customer!

    Thank You,

    Eric Wilhoite

    I was born and raised in San Diego and relocated here in late 2006 with my husband.  My husband and I are proud parents of two wonderful children.  In my spare time I like to hang out with my kids, work in the yard, shop for bargains, and go rock climbing.

    I've pretty much grown up in the automotive industry.  My father owned and operated an Auto Body and Repair shop for 25 years.  I have over 7 years of finance experience and have helped deliver thousands of high-line and import cars since 2003.

    I Look Forward To Working With All Of You!

    Thank You,

    I am a lifelong resident of Birmingham. I spent 5 years as Manager of an import parts and machine work company specializing in vintage racing restoration. I then started with Acura right as they were starting out in 1986. First as a salesperson, I then moved to Used Car Manager.

    I left there in 1995 and came to Tom Williams BMW as Used Car Manager then moved back to sales. I have been Salesperson Of The Year, every year, since 1999. In the past I was a member of The National BMW Professional Council.

    I bought my first BMW in 1972, a 1968 1600. After that I was sold for life! I now own 5 BMW's! A 528, 530, R60, K75, and R1100. I look forward to meeting you all!
