    "Coming down from Fayetteville, North Carolina in 2004 I really didn't think about selling cars. I am prior military and worked for Black and Decker afterward. Everyone use to tell me I needed to be in sales, but I really didn't see it. Now that I've been in sales for the past few years I wished I would've been here a long time ago! In this business you get to see all types of people in different walks of life and its my job to help them. It really feels good when you do your job to help others. That's why I'm here at Brandon Ford!"
