π This Week's Employee Spotlight: Mr. Don Cadmus π
Some people come to Camping World looking for their next adventure... Mr. Don Cadmus came in as a customer 13 years ago, and little did he know, he'd soon become part of the Camping World family himself. Funny how life works sometimes. πποΈ
One of Don's favorite memories is about a customer who became much more than thatβa true friend.
After helping General Hall, a four-star Vietnam War veteran, trade his motorhome for a larger one, their friendship took off. Don, who proudly served in the U.S. Navy, found himself looking forward to General Hall's morning visits. They'd sit and talk for hours, with General Hall sharing incredible stories and history lessons from his life and military service. Those conversations became memories Don will always treasure. Every Memorial Day, we made sure to celebrate General Hall and honor his service. Those moments meant a great deal to Don and are memories he'll always hold close.
When asked what advice he'd give someone just starting at Camping World, Don didn't hesitate:
"Listen more than you talk."
It's simple advice, but it's one of the reasons he's built so many lasting relationships over the years.
His favorite part about working here? The people.
As Don puts it, "Just like Forrest Gump said, 'Life is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get.'" π«π Every customer brings a different story, every day brings something new, and that's exactly what keeps the job exciting after all these years.
This month's goal is to welcome new customers while reconnecting with familiar faces and earning even more repeat business.
Thank you, Mr. Don, for 13 years of dedication, friendship, laughter, and the genuine care you show every customer who walks through our doors. We're grateful to have you on the Camping World of Lake City team! ππ
