He was then promoted as the Company's first District Manager responsible for developing O'Reilly's dual market business strategy. Later on in his 45 year career, he became the Company's first Vice President in charge of Store Operations, then promoted to Executive Vice President of Operations and Sales, and subsequently promoted to Co-President over all functions of Store Operation, Sales, Advertising/Marketing, and Real Estate Expansion. To complete his career, he assumed the role of Co-President and COO at O'Reilly Auto Parts.

| DIFM: Independents Versus Dealers |
The Do-It-For-Me (DIFM) market is composed of two major groups of repair outlets: vehicle dealers and independent repair facilities. Following the Great Recession of 2008, thousands of dealers across the U.S. closed or had their vehicle franchises canceled. As result, dealers rapidly lost DIFM product share to independent (non-dealer) repair outlets. Dealer DIFM product strength bottomed during 2014, but they are now showing renewed DIFM market strength. For more details click here. Source: Jim Lang
