<p>I have been in the floor covering trade all my life.  I started as a  helper in 1979 with my Dad and Brother. In 1982, after high school, I  began installing as a subcontractor. In 1986 I attended Armstrong  Flooring Certification School in Orlando Florida. <br /><br /> I continued  subcontracting until July 1994 when I started with Long’s Carpet and  Interiors. I installed at Long’s until 2001. At that time I took over  the position of Service Manager and have held that position since then.</p>
