I have just returned from the annual Surfaces floor covering trade show held in Las Vegas. This year I went a couple of days early to watch the Super Bowl with some of my friends at Quick-Step Laminate Floors. I had a nice meal, good conversation and a few laughs. Although Quick Step Flooring is one of my larger suppliers, nothing business was discussed here. we just enjoyed the game and relaxed a bit. This was on Sunday and with the show not starting until Tueday, I took advantage of the day off to find new ways to support the economy of Las Vegas.
I am a 35 year veteran of the flooring industry. The first 20 years as a retailer in various parts of the country, which helps me understand the needs of our customers across the country. The last 15 spent right here in Dalton, Georgia as a wholesaler and online retailer. I started American Carpet Wholesalers in August of 2002 with a dedicated staff of experienced professionals. Without them, the venture would have been extremely difficult. Personally, I am the father of 1 daughter and 2 wonderful grandchildren. A Vietnam Veteran and a believer in my fellow man.
