FCICA, the Flooring Contractors Association, in cooperation with ARDEX Americas, announced the recipient of the Bruce Newbrough Memorial Certified Installation Manager Program (CIM) Scholarship, Eduardo Martinez, a project manager with Martinez Carpet Installations.

“I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t near my dad working with floors,” Martinez said. “I have tried my best to follow in his footsteps, but always having my share of failures, I continue to move forward with those lessons. I’m a third-generation installer and very passionate about what I do. This isn’t a job to me, it’s a lifelong mission to promote trades and trade education as an honest and great choice for any young man or woman trying to decide their future. I am absolutely grateful for the opportunity to become a CIM.”
