Louie Herron is a Florida native, raised in Hollywood, and born in Miami. He ventured away from home to play college football at Liberty University in Virginia, then found his way to West Georgia College, only to realize he had an innate gift for selling cars. So at twenty years old, he hung up the dream of being a pro football player and dove headfirst into the car business. Little did he know that twelve years later, this leap of faith and determination to work up the ranks would land him the opportunity to purchase a portion of Taylor Toyota in North Augusta, South Carolina, at the age of 32. In 2009, he was able to purchase Louie Herron Toyota & Scion in Milledgeville, Georgia, and then sold the dealership in 2014 for a substantial profit. He remained in the car business as the owner/operator of Louie’s Lake Lot, a used car dealership in Eatonton, Georgia, before purchasing Louie Herron CDJR in Madison, Georgia, in 2014. After numerous business and life events, Louie decided to sell the CDJR store in 2019. He returned to Florida, where he is now the General Manager of Rountree Moore Toyota in Lake City, Florida. Louie is the author of Driven by Fire. A book that addresses critical points on unshakable faith, ridiculous intensity, an awareness to reinvent oneself, and enthusiasm that is contagious. He is also the creator of Sales to CEO, a comprehensive twelve-month course, as well as mentorship that takes managers or salespeople to the next level in the car industry. Louie is known for his positive outlook on life, his ability to motivate others, and his unwavering faith in God. Louie is the man who always sees the glass overflowing. His passion for helping others, as well as the community, can be seen in the charity he created, The Love Bucket. The charity donates a portion of the dealership’s proceeds back to the community. He also speaks regularly at local school assemblies, colleges, chapel services, churches, award banquets, and business meetings. You can find Louie spending quality time with his family on his off days. He is a die-hard Miami Dolphin fan and is no stranger to flying the family to support the team! You could also find him pacing the sidelines at his kids’ football game, or relaxing beachside with his partner.
