Tile is art -- and at Crest Tile and Mosaic, I treat it as such. From beginning to end, I provide my clients with beautiful spaces through experience and professionalism.
After spending five years as a commercial installer, I moved into residential and have not looked back. I enjoy the projects that require attention to detail, and custom showers are a great example of this. After attending the Artisans Revolution in Tile (A.R.T.) training in Milwaukee in 2023, I have a different view of tile as a finish. It is truly an artisan trade, and my work reflects that. Every project requires some aspect of custom work, and I strive to provide my customers' needs. I am hoping to sell and install a few more custom mosaic inlays in 2025, thanks to the A.R.T. training.
Professional development is a major part of my business model. Since 2022, I have been a member of the National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA) and it was been a huge benefit for me and my business. I am currently the Brand Ambassador for the NTCA in my area, hoping to "educate and elevate" other contractors in my area. I have also been chosen as an assistant trainer for this years A.R.T. training in Nashville, TN. The national tile community has been great to me, and the NTCA is a major part in that. I look forward to growing, on both a personal and business level, with the networks I have made in the past years.
