His first experience as a salesman took place at his beloved grandfather\u2019s pawnshop at the age of seven. The feeling of exhilaration and accomplishment of his first deal propelled his love for the industry and solidified his future as a pawnbroker.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 18px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>Les continued to hone his skills in negotiating, sales, and customer service which eventually led to opening his own store with the support of his wife Lili. Years later, Les moved American Jewelry and Loan to its present location, an expansive showroom and storage facility, more than 50,000 square feet in size. Located just south of iconic 8 Mile Road in Detroit, this flagship location served as the backdrop for the successful <i>Hardcore Pawn<\/i> television show that he filmed alongside his children, Ashley and Seth. Les and his son, Seth, continue to work at the Detroit location.<\/p>\n<p>Les remains an astute observer of economic trends that are the pulse of any city across the country. For that reason, he continues to be sought after for speaking engagements, sales training seminars, and financial guidance by media and news outlets such as <i>The Detroit News<\/i>, <i>USA Today<\/i>,<em> <\/em>Fox Business, <i>Forbes Magazine<\/i>, and more. Les is also known for his negotiating tips which are often the topic of his media appearances on <em>The Today Show<\/em>, <em>Yahoo!
