As a young independent contractor, Mike Robinson installed draperies and carpets in homes. One day he found his spare bedroom full of draperies and his garage full of carpet, so he went down to Chinatown and rented a space. Mike began his business with a $35 dollar investment and a handshake with the landlord. That was in 1980. At first, he shared one desk with one secretary. Today, Robinson's Interiors Carpet One has numerous employees and does millions of dollars in business both in the residential and commercial sectors. Mike’s top concern is that his staff of flooring specialists does each job right and that customers get the best flooring possible for their budget. Today, Mike is thrilled to be working in the homes of his first customers’ grandchildren. In addition, Mike loves to give back to the community. He's especially pleased with the Homes for Our Troops project, which provided a mortgage-free home for a severely wounded veteran.

Luke Robinson,the middle son of Mike and Barbara Robinson, was born and raised in Hanford, California. Luke attended Chapman University and graduated with a BS in Accounting. While attending Chapman University, he worked as a paid intern for Wachovia Securities, where he gained considerable experience doing portfolio analyses, retirement plans, and 401Ks. After college, he returned to Hanford and went to work for another Robinson family entity becoming the General Manager for Adventure Park. Later, he went to work for Martin C. Garcia Accountancy where he honed his accounting skills. While there, Luke enjoyed helping clients who were panicked about their IRS notices. He liked calming them down and then helping them resolve their situations happily. Luke is a member of CalCPA. Today, Luke is the Controller for both Robinson's Interiors Carpet One in Hanford and Robinson's Flooring in Fresno. In addition, he is busy learning the flooring business inside out. When not working, Luke loves to spend time with his wife and three children and, of course, the huge Robinson family.

Gary Wells has been in floor covering since 1987 and has worked for Robinson's since 1993. Gary is qualified to select the best flooring materials for both commercial and residential jobs. Gary is passionate about his work. He often advises customers saying, “The right product on a job is just as important as the right price.” Gary coaches the sales team by teaching that once the sale is made, the hard work begins. The sales rep is responsible for ordering materials, scheduling installation, and to see that all problems that arise are resolved. “We’re a start-to-finish organization,” says Gary.

Jeff Macedo began working as an installer for Robinson's Interiors during his college years when he was on summer vacation. After college, he decided to make the flooring business his career. He loves delivering the best flooring possible for his customers. He especially enjoys that Robinson's can help customers who need their flooring fast — whether it's because of water damage or they are just in a hurry. He says, "Our 6,000 square foot warehouse is stock full of flooring; we can also call the mills in L.A. and get product shipped right away." He adds that even Lowe's and Home Depot send over their customers who are in a hurry. Jeff is our tract home flooring specialist. He has carpeted and covered hundreds — if not thousands — of homes in Hanford, Lemoore, Coalinga, Selma, and other Central Valley cities.

Veronica Haile is often the first person you encounter when you phone or visit Robinson's Interiors. She is the cheerful voice behind, "Robinson's Carpet One!" She is also an ace at keeping paperwork moving, especially on the commercial side when builders need all their documents in order. She's been with the company since 1995.
