To start out on this first column, I have to say I’m thrilled to be invited to write an on-going column for Floor Trends. After writing more than 500 columns for Floor Covering News, Floor Covering Weekly and On Carpet Magazine, you’d think writing this first column here would be easy.
But it’s not, because I realize many of you are a new audience for me. That means unlike my past loyal readers, to you I’m just the new guy on the block. So it just hit me that after 18 years of writing product knowledge training manuals, doing educational talks around the country at conventions and trade shows, and writing for national magazines and papers I have to start all over.
