- Biography
- At age 18, Sam went into the Army and served a tour in Vietnam. When he got out at 20, he started learning to install flooring, a trade where you never stop learning. Through the years, Sam worked as a line mechanic for a car dealer. He also worked as a welder, but always did flooring at least on the weekends. After he turned 30, he switched to flooring full time. He has managed two stores but spent most of his career as an independent installer.
Sam has installed flooring in residences, churches, apartment buildings, stores, etc. He installed turf in a mini golf course and a football stadium, rubber flooring for an indoor track in a YMCA, and even installed flooring in RVs. He's done the measurements for almost everything he's installed.
Sam went to the Armstrong Vinyl school and became certified to install vinyl, and has completed numerous other training sessions for various kinds of flooring. He has installed carpet, vinyl, ceramic, VCT, rubber, and wood.
At 65, Sam semi-retired because of health issues. He enjoys helping others with my experience.
Sam has been married for 40 years, and has 5 children, 12 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren.
