“I joined the family business in 1974. I must admit that I was not thrilled about the prospect of shoveling sand and mixing mud but I came to literally fall in love with this business and the people who work in it.Induction002

 

“The tile industry is my passion. My team is very dear to me as are the friends I have met through the association. It is truly an honor to be involved by this group and to be recognized by them. You have to engage in what you do and give it all you can. This business involves art and fashion and provides a foundation for a beautiful product. Thanks to my mom and dad and my sister Cindy and also thank all of you for this recognition. The most important person in my career has been my wife for over 37 years, Vikki Yarborough. Without her continuous friendship, love and support I couldn't have been the success I am today."
