We are only a collection of experiences, examples and imagination.
Most installers if you ask will say they worked under one, maybe two installers before going on their own. My list is a little longer. Johnny Jones, carpet and sheet vinyl. Byron Burdette carpet and vinyl. Mike Hettinger, how to find an excuse not to do any job and go fishing. Steve Incremonia, carpet, vinyl, tile, how to identify opportunities. Dave Herrick, carpet, inlaid linoleum, there isn't anything that can't be fixed and never say "oops" on the jobsite. Warren Ingram, tile. Trowel and Error, Perfection is its own reward, and that s a good thing because at this pace its the only reward. Nadia Pham. next level tile. I wish I could have spent more time with him. Dick Myers & Denny Brunsford, large scale commercial bid work. George Buckhardt human resources, identify strengths and weaknesses and how to delegate tasks accordingly. Mike Williams commercial carpet and how to get into trouble with the irs. Steve Jackson customer service & how to value relationships over contracts. I spent time apprenticing under each one of these men and there is a little piece of each of them in who I am today. But there is always the one teacher who stands out, and mine was John "Jay" Marshall Phipps. God has a way of calling the greatest minds home too soon. You are missed, my brother.
