Basil was born in New Delhi, India and has lived in Kenya and Uganda throughout his life. His grandfather was a doctor and his father retired an aeronautical engineer. Basil himself is the widowed father of two wonderful twin sons, Ryan and Neil. Basil enjoys working in the auto industry as he believes the sky is the limit; he has recently sold some cars on-line to customers which he found a very interesting experience. Being candid, truthful and sincere are characteristics Basil feels makes a strong salesperson, all three of which he demonstrates. Although Basil is a peaceful and calm man, don't think that he hasn't had some wild encounters. Basil has come face to face on three separate occasions when he was in east Africa, with a lion, an elephant and a hippo! He also survived an armed carjacking in Nairobi!

Basil has proved himself to be probably the most adept, skillful, and dedicated salesperson that we had. His ability to close the sale, and his dedication to doing so, made him excellent in sales. More

Once again, Basil took care of a seamless transition into a new leased Cadillac. He was very thorough and took the time to meet with me and my wife separately due to our COVID schedules. Thanks Basil! More
