Meet Our Staff

Hi, my name is Bill Veuleman. My wife, Christy, and I, live in Saline County at The Pointe at Hurricane Lake Estates. We have a large, blended family with seven children, four of which are married and three grandchildren. We have two dogs, an old boxer named Sophie (best dog I have ever had), and Chrisy’s Christmas present last year; a mini–Golden Doodle named Ruby (spoiled, of course). I have serviced central Arkansas for over 30 years in the automotive industry after getting my start in Louisiana, where I am from. Christy and I enjoy spending time with our huge family, working out with our cross fit gym family and spending time on the water anywhere we can get it. I welcome all my previous customers to visit me here at Crain Ford of Little Rock and I look forward to making new friends as we grow this business.

Persistence and professionalism are the perfect potions for success. How we do anything is how we do everything. Happiness is a mindset that only you can control. You can only master one thing at a time.
