After being in the floor covering industry for over 40 years I can honestly say I am having the best time of my career. My staff today is the most enjoyable team of professionals I have ever worked with, and I look forward to coming to work every day. I opened Carpet Galleria in 1986 after being blessed to have worked for some of the finest people in retail management throughout the country.
I am a proud third-generation native of Traverse City, growing up here was almost a dream. I have seen Traverse City grow from a sleepy Northern Michigan town to one of the most incredible places to live in all of America. Those of us who call Traverse City and the entire Grand Traverse area home are some of the most fortunate people around.
Carpet Galleria started out in a small 3500 square foot home in Downtown TC. We moved into a 5000 square foot home in 1990 located on Garfield Avenue, in 2005 we moved into our present 11,000 square foot showroom also located on Garfield Avenue. Our showroom was designed to bring in as much natural sunlight as possible so the colors you see here are the same colors you see at home.
My wife Julie and I have been working together in the business for over 25 years. Our two “Westies”, Maxwell and Stanley, can be found roaming around the showroom throughout the day. When closing time comes you will find us out sailing around West Bay in the warm months or enjoying our quiet wintertime together in our home located just a few minutes away in Morgan Farms.
My staff and I look forward to seeing you soon. You will find shopping here at Carpet Galleria a pleasureful experience!
