My entire career of 46 years has been in various aspects of the floor covering business. While finishing college at night I got a full-time job working at a flooring store in Milwaukee. For most of the six years working there, I was in homes estimating and selling hard surface floors. After Graduation, I went to work for a Flooring manufacturer, E. R. Carpenter Co. for twelve years. I covered all of Wisconsin and upper Michigan. After that, I went to work for my largest customer, Jaeckle Distributors. Selling a number of hard surface floors to dealers in southeastern Wisconsin for twenty-three years. At Jaeckle, we did not hire inspectors, we took care of our own claims. For the next three years, I managed two flooring stores for Carpetland of Milwaukee. So in order to leverage my knowledge of flooring I attended the certification class at IFCII in February 2020. Hence began my inspection business. As a side gig I have also been President of the Wisconsin Floor Covering Association for seven years now.
