Jerome Rucker initially came to Armory to pitch a promotional service to us, but ended up inadvertently pitching himself instead. Rucker was hired on the spot after impressing a former manager with his ability to sell. "He said, if you can sell me that, you can definitely sell cars," Rucker recalled. Years later and the Albany native hasn't looked back, spending almost half of his decade-long career in the car industry with us. He believes it's Armory's expansive inventory, incredible service department, and the professional demeanor of our employees that sets us apart. Though he has a lot to be proud of professionally, Rucker says his greatest accomplishment was getting five kids through college, and one through the Marines. He's also a big sports fan, opting to spend his free time volunteering as a basketball coach, fishing, or just enjoying the outdoors.
