Tim Fike

LU 567 Floor Coverer - Contract Flooring and Interior Services
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.
