Lawrence Christian

Ford Sales Specialist

I’m originally from Queens, NY and relocated to Tampa in 1983. I fulfilled my childhood dream of community service from 1988 until 2002 . I briefly left my career to take care of my parents and in 2005 I got into the car business with Lakeland Ford and have been here ever since. I’m known in the community and I love the car business and have repeat customers that keep coming back.
