About Ray
Ray Justice began his entrepreneurial career in business in 1967 when he opened one of the first totally automatic car washes on the East Coast, Buckman’s Car Wash, in Rochester, NY. Ray’s entrepreneurial spirit was evidenced over the next 40 years as he seized opportunities to expand his business portfolio by focusing on the needs of his customers. His visionary outlook, creative ideas, strong interpersonal skills, and business acumen contributed to his success as an owner and operator of several businesses: a coin-op laundry, dry cleaner, equipment sales and service company, a construction company, an educational toy store, a not-for-profit, bird-of-prey educational company, a marketing company, property development and others.
As an innovator, Ray walked the continuous improvement path, becoming one of the first to install equipment to wash vans and trucks in the early ‘70s. And in the early ‘80s he led the industry’s move to brushless car washes by using soft cloth. Later in the decade he created a “no questions asked,” 24-hour clean-car guarantee that is now offered nationwide by many car washes. His property development projects are handled by Justice Enterprises, LLC and Justice Management Corp.
Ray has entered the world of e-business as a co-owner of Brabon Justice International a software development company that offers the "next generation of self managed websites" along with secure, private portals, business branding and coaching. In 2005, he published “Whispers of Intimacy” which is a collection of poetry about intimate connection. It is available in English, French, and Spanish, and as a journal (also available in Left Handed version).
Ray also developed a free website DiscoveryQuestions.com, based on his personal and business coaching philosophies. It is designed to help people tap their creativity as they solve problems and make decisions in their personal and business lives. His next ventures are in linking the worlds of social networking, mentoring, self education, poetry and information marketing (all with a flavor of spirituality)
Ray is known as the “Change Master” because of his unique, out-of-the-box methods to problem solving and his upbeat attitude of possibility thinking.
He was named the Chamber of Commerce “Business Person of the Year,” and in 1998, received the Sam Walton Business Leadership award.
Ray's entrepreneurial and personal philosophies are built around understanding the powerful connection between our beliefs, thoughts, and feelings with the personal relationships in our lives. He reminds us that -
People don't do business
with businesses.
They do business
with other people.
