Creative Carpet Inc.

Meeting as youngsters, Chris and Mark Jr. have been best friends ever since, and he has been part of the Bouquet family for over a decade. Their longtime friendship allows Chris and Mark Jr. to work side by side without incident, and it is said they can communicate via mental telepathy. Chris is settling in as a utility employee, encompassing most aspects of day-to-day operations in order to fill in wherever needed - including writing these ridiculous bios. With a career in flooring and a hobby of scuba diving most of his life is spent looking down.

As master of all things coming and going, Jake spends his time making sure everything and everyone is in their designated positions. Moving at the speed of a cheetah and the efficiency of Prius, Jake manages to oversee all of the company's receiving, shipping, inventory, quality control, orders and deliveries. With his acute attention to detail he combs through every job to make sure that nothing gets missed. What would take the average man 8 hours to accomplish, Jake usually finishes by 9:00 am. With his extra time Jake joins forces with Gary Onate, and together they become an installation crew that can only be described as…

Mark Jr. started installing carpet as a youngster in order to prepare him to carry on the Creative Carpet legacy that his father built. Transferring from installations to sales in 2008, he now oversees the retail and commercial side of Creative Carpet and Flooring. His time is spent building systems, scanning blue prints, conference calls and being late for almost everything - unless it involves his clients. Committed to the integrity of the store and the happiness of his clients he is the example of how all companies should be run. He has 1 very cute daughter and 1 very cute son.

While crawling on the floor at the age of 2, Mark was angered by the bad seams on the floor of his parent’s front room. It was obvious from the beginning that carpet was in his blood. Starting at age 19 he has climbed up the horizontal ladder of the flooring business. Since opening a retail store in 1990 with his wife Tammy, he has not even slowed down enough to look back. Today, Mark oversees everything “Creative Carpet and Flooring” as an ever-present body, as well as keeps all staff informed on all things political.

Tammy. AKA… The Creative Carpet and Flooring air traffic controller. Nothing goes in or out of this company without her knowing. Billing, questions, payroll, and business systems - you name it. Having raised 5 sons, she is a seasoned veteran of running a circus and keeping things organized and grounded. She’s been married to Mark Sr. for over 30 years, so she has been in the carpet business for just as long as he. Spending most of her time running ALL the back-bone workings of this company, she is spotted in the showroom from time to time to gather some coffee before retreating again to the Creative Carpet and Flooring Underworld.
