I have done a lot of jobs and careers in my life and selling cars is one of them and I have been doing that for almost two decades. Royal is the only Dealership I have worked for. I enjoy working at Royal because our primary focus is the customer. Each employee here work together as a team to serve the customer. I have the best customers in the world. I have a relationship with them deeper than just a business transaction . . . I consider them all friends. Most of my customers have purchased multiple vehicles from me . . . I am a dad and granddad . . . and I can honestly say relationships both with family and friends is one of the things that makes life meaningful and significant.
