From Corporate Life to Flooring Dreams
Leaving the security of corporate jobs for the unpredictability of entrepreneurship is no small feat. It’s a journey filled with risk, excitement, and the pursuit of a dream.

In this blog post, we’ll explore their inspiring story, the challenges they faced, and the exciting future they envision for their flooring company.
From Boardrooms to Showrooms: A Leap of Faith
After years of climbing the corporate ladder, Spencer and Jake found themselves yearning for something more. Their passion for craftsmanship, combined with a shared dream of building a straight-shooting, honest company culture led them to make a life-changing decision: to leave their stable jobs and dive into the flooring industry.
“We wanted to create something that reflected our own values and passions,” Spencer shares. “We saw an opportunity to offer high-quality flooring solutions while providing exceptional customer service.”
Navigating the Transition
Transitioning from corporate life to entrepreneurship came with its set of challenges. From understanding the intricacies of flooring materials to learning the ins and outs of running a business, Spencer and Jake faced a steep learning curve.
“We knew a lot about business, but the flooring industry was new to us,” Jake admits. “We were very fortunate that the founder of Kingstree Flooring was as invested in our success as we were.”
After months of on-the-job training, they were ready to take the reigns of Kingstree Flooring Co. a flooring company designed to deliver both quality products and personalized service.
Building a Culture
One of the most rewarding aspects of owning their own company has been setting the company tone. Spencer and Jake have poured their heart and soul into creating a culture that reflects their vision and values.
“We wanted to create a place where people feel heard and valued,” says Spencer. “Every client’s project is unique, and we’re committed to providing tailored solutions that exceed their expectations.”
From selecting the best flooring materials to ensuring top-notch installation, Spencer and Jake are hands-on with every aspect of their business, ensuring that their clients receive the best possible experience.
Embracing the New Adventure
For Spencer and Jake, the shift from corporate professionals to flooring entrepreneurs has been both challenging and exhilarating. They are driven by a passion for their new venture and a deep-seated commitment to their clients.
