At Royal American, we are fortunate to have employees with tenure extending 20 years and beyond.

Celebrating Your Milestones Questionnaire

What position did you start out in at Royal American?
A new position was created to Manage Chapman Associates properties and laundry operations.
Tell us a little bit about your career journey with Royal American.
RAM’s Commercial Division was created to manage all non-residential spaces and properties. Initially, it included several office buildings, hotels, restaurants/bars and family entertainment parks in Panama City. In addition to overseeing the apartment laundry operations, it also assisted RAM with managing and leasing commercial spaces at apartment buildings. I was encouraged to obtain designations and credentials that would benefit RAM. Through the years, I have become an Executive CPM (Certified Property Manager) and licensed Real Estate Broker in 14 states.
Share a favorite memory from your time with Royal American.
One of my favorite experiences at Royal American was working directly with our founder, Joe Chapman, on the development of Two Stanford Centre, which at the time, was going to be the signature office building for Peoples First Community Bank. It is now corporate headquarters for Royal American Companies. I especially enjoyed watching and assisting Joe lead a team of architects, engineers, and contractors through the development process. It was very gratifying to learn first-hand and participate in bringing his vision to reality.
Share some of your interests and hobbies outside of Royal American.
I enjoy most outdoor activities including hiking, biking, and gardening. My favorite things are always better with family and friends. Over this past year, I have embraced mountain biking which has led to making new friends and taking memorable trips to Utah, North Carolina and various places throughout Florida.
What advice would you give to someone just getting started?
Surround yourself with people that make you better. Eliminate your weaknesses and you’ll be known for your strengths. Never stop learning.

Scott, thank you for your 35 years of service. Here’s to many more successful years ahead! Help us congratulate Scott in the comments.

Open Enrollment Deadline

It’s that time of year – open enrollment season! All employees are encouraged to review and update their information to ensure their coverage reflects any changes they may need. Open enrollment will remain open until November 20th, so please make sure to take advantage of this opportunity to secure or adjust your benefits.

  • Update Your Insurance Information: Please update your Guardian Insurance in Paycom and your medical insurance with THATCH. An email was sent to your work or personal email from THATCH, so please check your spam if you haven’t seen it. If you’re full-time and believe you should have received this email but haven’t, please contact Human Resources for assistance.
  • No Action Required for Guardian Insurance: If you’re not planning to make any changes to your Guardian insurance, no action is needed. This year’s enrollment is passive, so your current coverage will carry over if left unchanged.
