Being a Vietnam Veteran myself, I understand the hardships one faces in a war zone. Being away from family and friends for such a long period is enough, but add enduring a hostile environment and continually watching your back and keeping your head down. Throw in the apathy of the American public toward our military and it becomes even harder.
Dan West is the Southeast Regional Manager for the Congoleum Corporation and a U.S. Army
Reserve Officer. He has just recently returned from a year and a half deployment in Afghanistan. It also hits close to home as my nephew, Army Sgt. Steve Hammontree, is finishing up his third tour in Iraq.
Dan West and Pete Dumenil both manage my relationship with Congoleum and are reponsible for growing my business with Congoleum. Especially the Congoleum DuraCeramic Tile line and the DuraStone Tile line.
Welcome home Dan.
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.
