NOLA
Motorcars was founded by Alex Katz. Alex is passionate about cars -
some might even say he is obsessed. From his earliest days, his memories
and those of his family members are entwined with the delight he found
in everything that had to do with vehicles. Whether it was pushing his
hot wheels cars around the floor of his room for hours on end, spending
time in the driver’s seat of his family’s cars when they were parked as
he handled every knob and dial, or observing the distinguishing features
of every car he saw, Alex was focused on some aspect of automobiles.
Instead of reading books like other children, he read only car magazines
– studying every detail of every model and his favorite show was (and
still is) Motorweek. While most kids sat at home collecting baseball
cards, Alex collected license plates. Alex has been training for his
career for his entire life.
Alex
is now living his dream of running his own auto brokerage. Every step
he has taken in his education and career has prepared him for this goal.
He obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Business from the A. B. Freeman
School of Business at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana with a
specialty in Marketing and Entrepreneurship. While in school, he worked
as a valet parker for the Ritz-Carlton Hotels and as a private
chauffeur for hotel guests. Upon graduation, he secured a position with a
luxury auto broker. He started out taking photos for their website, but
before long he was buying inventory for them and other dealers in the
region.
Alex
enjoys combining his passion, his business school teachings, and his
real world experience to provide you with a superior experience when
choosing the gently pre-owned automobile of your dreams. His goal is to
match each buyer with the perfect car for his or her needs and price
point while delivering superior personalized customer service.
Originally
from Miami, Florida, Alex fell in love with the city of New Orleans
like so many other Tulanians and cannot imagine living anywhere else. He
lives near Tulane with his wife Erin Luft Katz, a local dentist (both a
Tulane and LSU alum), their son Bennett, their daughter Sloane, and
their Italian Greyhound Mia.
