	Ron Shirley Ron is the President of LLTR and oversees the day to day operations of the repo company as well as heading up the repossession skip tracing department. He is the man that puts the Ron in Ronpos and is in the seat of a truck as a real-life repo man most days and nights . He is also the Pastor Of the Eastern Chapter of Dirt Church and an Evangelist by grace. "If I tell You A rooster can pull a freight train, you'd better hook 'em UP!"


	Amy Amy is the Vice President as well as the backbone of the reposession company. She is the horsepower that makes the company run ahead of the big dogs and the big dog when someone thinks they can come in and run over the company. "Tight as a frog's butt - and that's water tight!”


	Patty Patty is the Office Secretary who handles the front office and and in-house repo duties such as customer service, dispatching, invoicing, and handling the drivers. She makes sure the Lizard Cage stays under control. "Do All You Can Do and Just Let The Rough End Drag"


	Repo Repo is Ronnie's best friend, and at times, his only one. He is the Lizard Lickin' Mascot and if you ever see him eat, you will know why. He rides along on most of Bossman's repossessions. We here at the office believe they actually talk and understand one another. He's the last stop in Rontopia's Ronpos, and is the best door stop God ever invented. "As confused as a monkey trying to do a math problem"

Life always looks different from behind the glass. In my case, it’s the glass that separates me from the irate people Ronnie and Bobby bring into the office. Nothing has ever been said that rings more true than behind every good man is a great woman, and if Ronnie says differently, I am sure I can change his mind.

The boys have the easy work, they get to go out and have fun finding debtors and taking the auto repo collateral. Then, usually the next day, I am left to deal with the storms that those two stirred up. They always find it amusing that they get to stir up the hornet's nest, and then they leave me to get stung.

Amy - You get as good as you give!

My second job at the Funeral Home is so much more rewarding. When I leave for the evening: no one is complaining, everything is quiet and my customers always have a smile on their face. Here at the Lick, its just the opposite, it's just that most of these people don’t know who I am or where I am from.

I am a retired World Champion Power lifter; you can see my accolades at www.lilfirecracker.com. On top of that, I have to deal with Ronnie on a daily basis. In his own words, "I would rather jump off a ten foot ladder into a five gallon bucket full of porcupines" than to have to deal with him every day. Living and working with him has taught me that all I can do is my best, and after that, I just have to let the rough end drag.

When the debtors come in here that have been downing the Hatoraide, I simply tell them to explain to me what the problem is, and I'll tell them how they can live without it. I was taught many years ago growing up in a very close family down a long dirt road, by one of the greatest mamma’s to ever live, that you treat people like you want to be treated.

So when Ronnie and Bobby lay the ground work for a hard day, I become the dance partner and just let the debtor take the lead. If you want fire you can sure get it, and all you have to do is set the Firecracker off and it doesn’t take long for you to feel the BOOM. Most of the time I end up telling them that if they are scared, then they can jump in my back pocket; or that I used to be scared too, then I turned 10.

Size definitely does not matter, and I am not intimidated easily. On the other hand, if someone comes in here with some manners and sense, I can become their best friend, and have made many close friends from debtors we have repoed over the years. My job is to handle the problems and I have learned you catch a lot more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. If people would just realize that it's not our fault the situation occurred, kindness can go a long way in helping us get it resolved for them.

I love having the chance to share my faith and be able to empathize and sympathize with people - after all, everyone hits hard times and we all have been on the bottom looking up before. I always enjoy the daily threats of "I'll sue you", or "Don’t make me break you down", or the occasional, "Lady, I will beat the breaks off you." I generally laugh and tell them we have a form for that, and they can take a number because they can't be the first to do it, but they sure can be the next.

At the end of the day, repossessions are just a job, and though Ronnie’s the front man, and Bobby’s his shadow, you won't meet the backbone of Lizard Lick Towing until you hit the front door! So now you know a little about me, and if you get a chance look me up on facebook or visit my website, or stop on down and get your lick on with me and the krew.

Remember, down here in the lick were are as tight as a frogs butt, and that’s water tight.

Amy's Favorite Saying
You can step to the left or you can step to the right,
You can step up or you can step down,
You can even step on or you can step off,
BUT the bottom line is, you’d better get to steppin!


	Bobby Repo Man Bobby is the fullback who’s job it is to protect Ronnie no matter the situation. He is a reposessor extraordinaire with a dash of Southern style and charm. Though he acts like he failed his IQ test, don’t let him fool ya - Bobby’s quicker mentally than a football bat on a Friday night. "Slicker than a greased hippo in a banana tree"


	Joe Joe is the newest addition to our Lizard Clan and has proven that size doesn’t matter. If it needs lickin', Joe is the first repoman on the job and the last to leave. He runs the Weekend Lizard Races and has become a Brother in Scales with us. "Butter my butt and call me a biscuit"


	Mark Mark is one of the Game Over Ronposessors and focuses on internet data research and skip tracing the more elusive repossessions. He works directly under Ron and has learned all the secret tricks of the repossession trade. If you crawl under a rock, he’ll pull you out by your tail! "Slicker than Snot and Smashed Bananas"


	Brian Brian is the Towing Manager and The Lizard Aspirin when there’s a problem. If Rontopia has an earthquake or headache, then The ball is thrown to Brian. When it comes to car repossession, he IS the man! He always finds a way to lick both the problem and the competition. "He's as country as corn flakes"


	Steve Steve is the Night Time Reposession Manager, and The Quarterback on Team Game Over. He Calls the shots in the dark and always has a winning game plan. By the time you see repoman Stevo, it's Truly GAME OVER "THAT dawg will hunt!"


	Robbie Robbie is our auto repo and towing Night Driver and runs the shift. He watches the sun go down and come up in Rontopia and makes sure that those lost stranded motorists can always have their problems licked by the Lizard. "Madder than a pack of wild dogs on a three legged cat"


	Bumpy Bumpy is one of our Pro Towers - a consummate repo man. If it flies, sinks, floats or drives, Bumpy can hook it up and get it wherever the destination may be. He uses kid gloves with a coal miner's grip getting the job done right. "I aint got no dog in this fight"


	I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in. Before you borrow money from a friend, decide which you need more. Life is simpler when you plow around the stump. There's two theories to arguing with a woman. And neither of them works. If you're gonna take cattle to town, do it on Sunday. There's less traffic and fewer people to fight. I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place. You cannot unsay a cruel word.


	The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, and dust will be the serpents food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, says the LORD. (Isaiah 65:25)


	If you are scared to open your eyes and face your fears then you are destined to fail -- for it is better to see that which may defeat you and face it headlong than to cower from it and have it both consume and devour you while you hide in the insecurity of darkness and avoidance. You should be more afraid of not trying than not succeeding. Remember the only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
