Background

About James McNeil

James McNeil, CEO at Day Break Metro Inc, provides Location, Repossession, Locksmithing and Transportation services from 5 Northern California lot locations. Coming from humble beginnings and leaving college to identify a trade he could make a business, James began his Auto Recovery career as a Repossessor with then DigitalDog Auto Recovery. Growing that brand name to 14 locations, and 10 million per year in revenue as its Executive Vice President; it was the Masters Degree in Entrepreneurial leadership he needed and 14 years well spent. In 2014 James co-founded and later sold RepoRoute, a repossession management platform that is still used to this day. That same year, James acquired the operations of Day Break Metro with a small staff of 5 to build upon in the heart of Silicon Valley. Now, 7 years later and serving a population of 10 million people across 15 counties, Day Break Metro employees a staff of 40 people and has grown 13x by revenue. In that reflection, James strives to help change the repossession trade towards a new era of craftsmanship whereby employees can build a lifestyle and career they can be proud of and find the opportunity to transcend class through leadership and entrepreneurial mentorship, regardless of where they’ve started.
