Conocí a Willis en 1998. Fue obvio que él era único. Willis sabe perfectamente quién es y en qué cree. Su enfoque es claro e inquebrantable: la familia, la religión y Copart. Willis construyó Copart a partir de un depósito de chatarra y lo convirtió en una empresa de subastas de 4.5 mil millones de dólares impulsada por la alta tecnología. Esto no fue el resultado de una serie de planes exitosos de 5 años. Willis nunca tuvo un plan a largo plazo. Su objetivo era sobrevivir. Levantarse cada mañana y hacer lo mejor que pudiera. A esa tarea le sumó ciertas habilidades naturales: la habilidad de observar continuamente, pensar en lo que observa, priorizar, delegar, repensar, reexaminar casi todo de forma constante. Además, se siente cómodo tomando decisiones. Su forma de pensar y su capacidad de ser decisivo es el motivo por el que Copart pasó de ser un depósito de chatarra a empresa internacional de subastas de 4.5 mil millones de dólares inspirada en la alta tecnología. Tom Smith, Prescott Investors
