I was born and raised in Eastern Iowa on the Mississippi in Clinton. I made a decision in 2002 to move to Des Moines where I started working at Charles Gabus Ford. I've been in the car business for over 2 decades now after managing restaurants for 5 years. My wife and I have been enjoying traveling for many years and finally decided to start our family. My son Tyler was born on March 19th 2017. Other than getting married and moving to Des Moines, he is the best decision I've made in my lifetime. I would love to help you with all of your automotive needs! Stephen Sanders sanders@charlesgabus.com 515-205-2445
