Sales Manager
As the Sales Manager at Sandpoint Furniture Carpet One, I am passionate about helping customers transform their homes with flooring solutions that are both beautiful and built to last. Every day, I guide clients through the flooring selection process with expert advice, product knowledge, and personalized solutions. From design inspiration to final installation, I make sure every detail is handled with care so they can feel confident and excited about their new space. Outside of work, I enjoy the outdoors—riding my Side by Side, camping, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, or snowmobiling. Family is a big part of my life, and my wife Debbie and I are proud grandparents, which has brought a whole new level of joy and adventure to our lives.
