Learning a skilled trade has been a life changing event for me. I went from being an apprentice, to becoming a Journeyman, to teaching apprentices, to becoming the Superintendent at Contract Flooring & Interior Services. My career in floorcovering will allow me to retire comfortably and spend time with my children.
