Brandon McBrier from Footprints Floors - Charlotte was not only our presenter this week but he also took home the Thank You for Closed Business Belt 🥇

Brandon is the proud owner of Footprints Floors operating in Charlotte, North Carolina. Originating from Pennsylvania, Brandon enjoys working with the beautiful old homes of the area, and the equally fine floors to be found there. Brandon became involved with Footprints following a visit from Bryan, his brother-in-law and founder of Footprints Floors. During Bryan's visit to the Lake Erie area, the two got to talking about the business opportunity and community service a company like Footprints could bring to the region. "I am both proud and happy to be working within the family business," says Brandon. "Each floor is as different as the people who own them and I enjoy working to create a unique beautiful finished product in every case."

Brandon joined the Footprints team after years of restaurant ownership. "From my time in the kitchen, I learned the value of customer service and a quality product. These two almost always create happy and successful relationships with customers. I believe the same is true for helping improve people's homes." Brandon prides himself on the calm and helpful relationships he strives for with each of his customers as well as his commitment to the finer details of home improvement.

With his free time, Brandon enjoys mountain biking in the Charlotte area or spending time on the family paddle boards on the lakes of the Carolina's. "No matter how your day is going, a few minutes spent by the lake make it better!"
