Two years ago, Matt and I were nursing a couple Yuenglings at my favorite table in Davis' Pub when we decided to go for it.

​​Well kinda.

We decided then that portable toilet rental was the business for us, but it wasn't the right time. Not enough capital, time, or experience. All the usual excuses. But we knew in our bones that we could build the best portable toilet rental company around.​​

A year later, Matt texted me.​​

"I'm ready. Let's do it."​​

We met up back where it all started (Davis' Pub, more Yuenglings) and hatched a plan. We'd buy a portable toilet trailer and if we couldn't rent it, we'd sell it. Him the experienced spreadsheet wizard and me the energetic gunslinging marketer.

So we scraped together some cash and begged M&T Bank for a loan to scratch our own itch. (Thanks for believing in us, Jamie.)

​​We chose the name Royal Flush for two reasons:

​​1. It's playful. You can't take yourself too seriously in the toilet business. So instead of a stodgy, all-business image, we leaned into the inherent humor that comes from making a living renting toilets.
​​
2. It exudes luxury. We aren't just providing a better experience than renting a porta potty. We're providing a better bathroom experience than any portable toilet company out there. Our bathrooms don't smell, are always clean, and are stocked with the best (not the cheapest) products we can find.

​

When that first trailer arrived with literally no notice, it couldn't have come at a worse time. We couldn’t keep it at his place or mine; Pro tip: HOAs don’t like toilet trailers. Matt called me in a panic. "Dude. The driver said he's 5 minutes from my house. We gotta find a place to put this thing."

So I hung up and started dialing – friends who lived on farms, high school buddies in commercial real estate, heck even my advertising clients at Naptown Scoop.

 

Finally, it ended up in a back corner at my neighbor's outdoor pickleball facility.

Nowadays we don't have to interrupt any epic dink rallies to move our trailers. Writing this now, it's hard to believe it's been two years since those fateful Yuenglings at Davis' Pub. It's still our favorite place for board meetings. But I digress.​

In perhaps one of the greatest understatements of all time, we'd like to say thank you for supporting us on this journey. For bearing with us through our growing pains, false starts, and the time I accidentally left We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together on repeat during our first wedding.​

We promise everything about the Royal Flush experience is going to get radically better in 2024. In fact, I texted Matt last week, "I don't want to build the best toilet company in Annapolis. I want to build the best toilet company on the whole damn East Coast."​

And so we are.
