    AL ARMOUR

    Hello, I'm Al Armour. I am 43 years old losing my hair and am over weight. I'm happily married to my wife Trisha. I have 5 children A.J. and Danielle both are currently attending college in Michigan. Alexis Jaydan and Alayna are all going to school at Marlington. If I'm not at work I'm either working at my home or playing around with the kids or my wife. I'm an expert at dishing out sarcasm both at work and at home. Although I don't play the negotiation game at work, I find myself constantly negotiating with my wife and children. I think my wife will get a kick out of that one, a little Armour humor.

    I have been working at Wally Armour's now for 20 years. I live in Plain Twp and I have been in Canton most of my life.  As a youngster I went back and forth to Pennsylvania and that's why I am a Steelers fan. I have 3 boys, Travon (20), Cameron (21), and Tyler (17).  Tyler is a great football player. As a Jr he was named "All Ohio First Team for Defensive Back". He has so much natural ability, I guess like his old man! Come see him play for the GlenOak Eagles. My wife, Tiana has been the ligth of my life for 21 years. She is always in my corner, good and bad. She is awesome.

     

    Come see me and I will make all your driving needs complete.  Thanks again!

    2012 marks my 4th year with Wally Armour. I have done a variety of jobs over the last 41 years inlcuding Outside Sales and Building, and running my own successful software systems integration firm making it easy for me to relate to people with a wide range of backgrounds and needs.

     I have a worldwide education from home schooling to boarding school, to public school, to college in Iran, Germany, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. I have been married for 29 years to Linda and we have a grown daughter. My lifelong hobbies are gourmet cooking and music (although with the hours required in car sales I don't have much time for either right now).

    I have won Sales awards throughout my career, but in sales it is only "?what have  you done for me lately"? that counts. So I'll be doing my best to earn your business.

     

    As always - please ask for me personally.

    I have been a sales person here at Wally Armour Chrysler Dodge Jeep since I graduated high school. I started working at the dealership when I was about 10  years old. My first job was on the lot sweeping rocks and picking up cigarettes! I moved from there to the Reconditioning  Department because the boss didn't think I was old enough to drive around the lot. After working in Reconditioning I started as a "Lot Man". I did that through high school when I was not practicing or playing football. I went to Saint Thomas Aquinas and played football 4 years during that time. My senior year I was elected as one of the captains on the team. We were one game short of making it into the playoffs, but it was great year for football.

     After graduating from high school I started in Sales here at the dealership. I can still remember the first car I sold. I will never forget that blue Dodge Grand Caravan. I sold cars during the summer and winter breaks while I attended John Carroll University in Cleveland. I went to school for Business Management and focused on Entrepreneurship/Small Business. I made some great friends while at school and learned quite a bit. I graduated in May, 2010 and moved home to live with my lovely parents.  My first month back after graduating I sold 21 cars (my best month yet). I have been selling full time just over a year now and everyday I learn something new. I enjoy my job and constantly get to meet new people. I have made a lot of great friends while working here, not necessarily the people I work with, but the people I have done business with during my time here. I have grown up around the business and it has been a pleasure to work with my family and my friends. It has been tough at times but has taught me how to overcome adversity in many different ways. 

     When I am not at the dealership (rarely) I am working on my new project. I just bought my first house here in Alliance. It has been fun learning the joys of home ownership first hand. I never knew windows could be so expensive! I have two younger sisters that are quite entertaining. My sister Alyssa currently attends Ohio State University and I am not really sure what she plans on majoring in, and I don't think she does either. My have another sister, Abbey, who is a senior at Saint Thomas Aquinas. She plans on going to Iowa to become an Iowa Hawkeye.

    I was born here in Canton in 1990.  May family's first home was in Alliance on Hearthshorn Road.  From there we moved to Canton where I can remember my old man putting together his Ford truck. That was when I bacame fascinated with cars and with the family business. Al, my dad, built an '86 Ford truck from the ground up. It was purple - don't ask me why. But I can remember throwing the jet skis in the back and going to the lake, which is quite possible my favorite place. There is nothing better than being on the water. At about 6 yrs old I moved to Michigan where I have been until this year. In Michigan I attend Howell High School and was a regular fixture at the local ski mountain. It was at that mountain that I had my first real job. During 7th grade my mother stressed the importance of having a job and working for your money. After a few years of college I decided I wanted to come try my  hand at selling cars. It has been a lot of fun and I've met a lot of people.

     

    So please come in and ask for AJ. I'll help get you into your next car.

    I've been at Wally Armour for one year. Before selling cars, I was a manager at Wendy's and a full time student. I attended high school at Waterloo and went to Mount Union College right after.

After two years I transferred to Lakeland Community College where I also played softball and finished my Associate's degree. I was a star student athelete and graduated with honors. I found out I was pregnant with my daughter and had to give up softball, so I transferred to Kent State University where I finished my Bachelor's degree. I grauduated Cum Laude from Kent and I was also a member of Tau Sigma Honor Society. I have a nine year old son named Davin who goes to United Local, and a two year old daughter named Callie.

    "Nothing is to small to know, and nothing is too big to attempt" William Van Horne.

    Brent Campbell has been a fixture in Stark County for most of his life. Steering his way through the North Canton School District, Brent always found himself creating weird and wonderful things. As a child Brent was only causing problems for his parents when he wasn't drawing on the floor of his bedroom, which seemed to be most of the time.  It was probably the 3rd grade when he discovered he had a unique talent or perhaps it was his classmates that noticed his paintings and sculptures were more detailed and realistic than most.  Brent took every art class offered through his high school and eventually graduated from Columbus College of Art and Design. In the late 90's he started his freelance career creating illustrations for magazines and quickly moving into childrens publications. Brent has worked with Bob Weir from the Grateful Dead creating an app that Bob sings the childrens songs while Brent's art comes to life thru animation.  One other highlight was when he was commissioned by the Fort Worth Texas Zoo to paint a large mural next to their saltwater crocodile exhibit. To this day Brent still spends free time working in his studio at home whether it's the nest illustration or carving into a lump of clay. He's happily married to Paula for 17 years with 2 children, Thomas(14), and Kate(11). If you see Brent ask him to show you some of his latest creations.

    I've always believed that the number one reason someone buys a car is that they trust and respect their sales person.  There will be no one who works harder to earn your trust and respect than me.  So let me tell you a little about myself,so we can get one step closer.  I was born at a very young age in Salem, home of the fighting Quakers. I bought my first car at the age of sixteen, a 1989 Escort. I had no credit, so my dad helped me buy it. I understand the frustration of having little or no credit.  Fast forward nine years, I married my beautiful bride in 2000.  We have been married for eleven wonderful years. We have three children, the last one being a surprise. Although I'm not sure why it was a surprise, I know how these things happen. I have two Master degrees and have finished my first semester in a PhD program. I tell you all this because I understand how difficult it is to raise a family in this world. I understand the countless hours you invest in your job to earn money to support your family

    I understand that time at your job means time away from your family.  The last thing you want to worry about is wasting that hard earned money and valuable time buying a car. My hope and goal is that I save you both, time and money, here at  Wally Armour. When you come in ask for me personally?.Jeremiah.

    I have been selling cars here at Wally Armour's for right around one year. I am a well known Alliance native. I am a graduate of West Branch High School. Here I was a part of their successful football program, making it to the state semi-finals my junior year. What a let down it was losing by 1 point. From there I went to college in Springfield, Missouri where I studied psychology, only to return a short while after back to this wonderful area. Many know me because of my success in the restaurant industry. I operated the Alliance Buffalo Wild Wings for many years and from there opened several other locations throughout Northeastern Ohio. After getting married to my beautiful wife Tara, who is also an Alliance native, we decided the restaurant business did not give us the quality of life that we needed. That is when I decided to come on board with Wally Armour's because of my knowledge of them being family owned and operated. Family is of utmost importance to me, I now have two beautiful twin children. Their names are Haydon and Addison (boy, girl twins) and they have taught me so much. Now being a family man, I want to give you the family attention you deserve. With many years of business experience, stellar customer satisfaction abilities and knowing what a family needs; make me your family's life long car salesman.

    Resident of Summit County for over 20 years.  I live with my 2 teenage daughters. Car sales is my 2nd career. I was a Goldsmith (jeweler) for 20 years until a back injury forced me to look for a new career where I have more freedom to move around during the day. I tried 2 other jobs that I didn't like before I landed here at Wally Armour's. I like my job now  and feel very fortunate to be working here. I appreciate their "One Price" philosophy. I think it's much better for the customer, and the salesperson. I also prefer working for a family owned business, rather than a large corporation.

     

    If you are looking for a new our used vehicle, I am here to do my best to show you the best options we have to suit your wants, needs, and budget. Feel free to call me with any questions.  Cell: (330) 903-8613

     After high school I attended University of Akron while working construction and also riding bulls in my spare time. I got injured riding bulls and had to have back surgery. This put an end to the construction work and also to my rodeo days. I left Akron University to attend the Summit County Sheriff's Academy where I ended up working as a Deputy for 5 years. I left there and continued my work in public service by supervising a local ambulance company. After 7 years of that, I decided it was time for a change. I was tired of sitting in an office 40 hours a week. I enjoy talking to and helping people out. I wanted to find a way to do that on a more face-to-face basis.  Wally Armour has proven to be the perfect fit for that!  It is a family owned business where people can come to get an honest good deal without all the games and gimmicks of other dealerships. I get up every morning actually looking forward to going to work now!
