I was born and raised in central Illinois. My dad had me working from a young age, a strategy I now understand was to keep me occupied and out of my mom’s way. After high school, I served in the Marine Corps from 1994 to 1998. Realizing that college wasn’t the right path for me, I joined my dad in the landscaping business, where I worked for 16 years.

In 2015, my family and I relocated to Colorado and became part of the Footprints Floors family. After serving as a production manager for 8 months, my wife, Kate, and I purchased the Broomfield-Boulder territory and spent 5 ½ years as franchisees.

Brian is the proud partner and owner of Footprints Floors Indianapolis, IN. Brian married his high school sweetheart Torrie, and they are busy raising their twin boys Hayden and Greyson.

Early in his career Brian worked with customers, primarily residential, offering tree removal and pruning services. In his free time (clearly before kids) he utilized his skills in helping homeowners with various home improvement projects; decks, landscape, light duty carpentry, and even resurfacing of hardwood floors.

Brian has established a reputation in the industry of Franchise Development, managing the recruitment of new franchise partners for growth oriented franchise organizations.

Honesty, integrity, and accountability are characteristics that Footprints Floors of Indianapolis deliver to customers on a daily basis.

Bryan grew up in south Denver. He attended the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO and served his country after graduation. Like most who serve, Bryan’s military experience strengthened his belief in, and commitment to, integrity, duty and leadership.

When Bryan and his wife Kelli settled in Littleton, Colorado they started a family…three rambunctious girls and two very big dogs. It was then, Bryan noticed that the flooring industry in Denver was highly inefficient and unscrupulous. It was nearly impossible to find providers who worked with a true sense of honesty and fairness. Changing this was not only an opportunity for Bryan, it was practically a calling.

“Putting the customer first and creating an impeccable reputation in this industry was Job number one,” says Bryan, about his goals for his future flooring company in Denver. He named it Footprints Floors and created a unique company structure that promoted the best in people, products, and business practices. It worked! So much so that Footprints Floors is one of the largest flooring service providers in Colorado and across the nation.

Park currently serves on the Board of Directors for the National Wood Flooring Association. Under Park’s leadership, Footprints Floors has expanded to 150+ territories across the United States and was recently named one of the fastest growing franchises in America by Entrepreneur magazine.

I spent most of my professional career as an I.T. Professional Services Program Manager. I have worked for many great companies such as IBM, Cisco, The Home Depot, Synamedia and BetterCloud to name a few. After my wife was brave enough to make a career change from Corporate Accounting to an AMI Certified Montessori Teacher (and loves it!), I decided that it was time for me to make a change as well. I have always been an active DIY'r and HGTV junkie and felt that I missed my true calling for construction management. After searching for several years, I decided to make a career change and opened my Footprints Floors franchise in 2021. I really enjoy helping my customers complete their projects to improve on their most important asset; their home. I believe that all customers deserve an honest, reputable and fair contractor that will aspire to deliver 5 star results. Those are the principles that guide me daily.

I have a wonderful wife, 2 young adult children, 2 cats, a sassy Husky and have resided in the Atlanta Metro area for the past 18 years. I am an avid runner and also love to roller skate, hike, kayak and play in the dirt.

Hi I'm Justin Cowley, and I am proud to be the owner of Footprints Floors of Northern Utah and of Salt Lake City, a locally owned and family operated business. I grew up in a small farming town of 600 people in central Utah where I learned the value of work. I love to spend time with my wife and six children, hunting, fishing, hiking and other outdoor activities. I am also a member of and an active participant in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Before starting Footprints Floors, I was the CEO and founder of multiple successful companies in the healthcare industry. This experience has helped me develop great communication skills. I approach all my conversations with a desire to understand exactly what you need, to walk through the process of how you'll get there, making the whole process as easy as possible.

As a professional, I strive to stay up to date on industry standards and proper installation methods to ensure things are done correctly. My goal is to provide you with a 5-star experience.

Having owned and operated businesses most of my life, I have learned invaluable lessons over the years, especially the importance of having a servant mindset and winning the full confidence and trust of those you work beside and work for. My wife and I are very excited for the opportunity to serve families in Northern Utah by offering services from hardwood install/refinishing, laminate/LVP install, tile floors, custom showers and backsplashes.

Our goal is to continue to build the Footprints Floors brand into a trusted business in the Northern Utah area by always striving to provide exceptional service and quality workmanship to our customers. We also have a heart's desire to give back to local programs and charities through our business.

Hi I'm Rich Ricciardi, and I am proud to be the owner of Footprints Floors Blue Ridge. After serving and retiring from government service after 26 years, My wife, son, and our golden doodle Summer, relocated to Bedford County from our last assignment in Estonia. We feel truly blessed to be able to call this area home, and are very excited for the opportunity to serve families in the Roanoke, Lynchburg, and Charlottesville areas in the flooring and tile and bath business through Footprints Floors.

I was born in Virginia, however, I mostly grew up in northern West Virginia. This is where I became a Pittsburgh sports fan. Typically on Sundays during the fall, following church, you will find me (sometimes my wife) supporting Steelers football! We both enjoy traveling and seeing/experiencing new things.

We are thankful for the opportunities we had to travel throughout Europe and the Mediterranean while living in Estonia. We also enjoy being active, whether it's attending the local crossfit classes, hiking, kayaking or simply enjoying the beautiful blue ridge area of Virginia. After searching for faith-based companies Footprints Floors caught my attention. I especially like their goal to always provide exceptional workmanship and service to the customer. Their strong commitment to serving the customer along with their family like atmosphere at the corporate and franchise levels made it an easy decision to join the Footprints Floors brand.

Throughout my life I have been fortunate to work in various jobs; the tile and gutter industry, sales with Sprint PCS, serving in the military with the USMCR and USN, and 22 years in the U.S. Secret Service.

Tyler Paratore is proud to be the owner of Footprints Floors of Trenton/Camden. Growing up in the South Jersey area, he attended Rutgers University-Camden, where he met his lovely fiancé, and business partner, Shayla. Tyler graduated from Rutgers in 2019 and went on to get a master’s degree from Drexel University as well.

Tyler spent 4 1⁄2 years with Amazon, working primarily in a delivery station, but after purchasing his first home, one of the first things he learned was how frustrating it can be to use contractors to accomplish home renovation projects. From unrealistic expectation setting, poor communication, and seemingly random price points, it gave him a real taste for what other homeowners in his community were experiencing. Because of this experience, Tyler felt compelled to start a home services business, specializing in flooring, booth wood, tile, LVP, and the like, as well as showers, and kitchen backsplashes, to help change what he felt was really lacking within the industry.

Through his own experience, Tyler learned the true value of transparency, honesty, and genuine care when serving his customers. Tyler’s years at Amazon, managing dozens of drivers and delivery routes, forced him to be attentive to details, and to prioritize communication, all while appreciating both his crews, and the end recipients. It is these skill sets, along with others, that Tyler promises to bring to each one of his home renovation projects, knowing that a person’s home is something that holds tremendous value, both monetarily and sentimentally. It is here where many of life’s most precious memories are made, and he wants to honor that by providing the best service experience he can.

During his free time, Tyler loves to spend time in the gym, playing with his 3 dogs, or tending to his saltwater fish tank. Shayla and he also love to travel together, with their most recent highlight being their trip to Greece, which is actually where they got engaged. Growing up in South Jersey, Tyler is also, of course, an avid Philadelphia sports fan, Go Birds!

Hi there! I’m James Gurgel, the proud owner of Footprints Floors of South Jersey, and an engineer with a background in residential and commercial construction. I'm also a husband, a father of two, and a Youth Pastor at our local church..

My wife, Rebeca, and I were born in Brazil but raised in Long Branch, NJ. We met at her dad's church when I was 12 and she was 11 years old. I didn't really like her until we were about 17 years old. I took her to Senior Prom, and it just kept going from there. In 2018 we had a baby boy named Thomas and in 2020 we had a little princess named Angelica.

Being the Youth Pastor at our church is the icing on the cake! I lead roughly 50 younglings helping them to plan their lives and make better decisions. Every Friday we have a youth meeting at church that starts at 8PM and goes past midnight. I usually work Saturday in the morning. I love those kids.

I hold a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Rutgers School of Engineering. I started my career as a design engineer and quickly moved up the ranks to management which led me to become a nuclear engineer for five years. With this background, I made the exciting leap into entrepreneurship by joining Footprints Floors of South Jersey. This opportunity allows me to test my engineering skills and create impressive and functional spaces that truly reflect my clients' styles. I'm thrilled to work with a talented team committed to excellence in service and craftsmanship. I look forward to leveraging my engineering expertise to contribute to our shared goals and enhance the overall client experience.

In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family. They're the reason for all this.
