Ross Brown
VP of Commercial Sales
I was born & raised outside of Chicago, IL before moved to San Diego in 2015. My interest in design & construction started early and led to the decision to attend the School of Architecture at Tulane University. After returning to Chicago, I began my career in construction & then in kitchen & bath design. Two of my projects were featured on "New Spaces", which aired on HGTV. My wife Karen & I are blessed with two amazing children, Marlon & Maya. We enjoy hiking, tennis, and cooking together.
My approach to commercial flooring starts with my passion as a designer. I love the process of working on a project from concept to completion. A wide variation of commercial projects brings new challenges every day. By using a solution based approach, I help clients overcome these challenges. Collaboration is the key to success. Before any specific products are discussed, a thorough assessment of the project goal is conducted. Products are then selected based on design, performance, and budget. I am dedicated to exceeding your expectations by utilizing my experience as a designer & project manager to serve as a trusted resource to my clients. I am proud to be a part of the team of professionals at Metro Flooring. I look forward to working with you.
