When Bryan and his wife Kelli settled in Littleton, Colorado they started a family…three rambunctious girls and two very big dogs. It was then, Bryan noticed that the flooring industry in Denver was highly inefficient and unscrupulous. It was nearly impossible to find providers who worked with a true sense of honesty and fairness. Changing this was not only an opportunity for Bryan, it was practically a calling.

“Putting the customer first and creating an impeccable reputation in this industry was Job #1,” says Bryan, about his goals for his future flooring company in Denver. He named it Footprints Floors and created a unique company structure that promoted the best in people, products, and business practices. It worked! So much so that Footprints Floors is one of the largest flooring service providers in Colorado and across the nation.

Park currently serves on the Board of Directors for the National Wood Flooring Association. Under Park’s leadership, Footprints Floors has expanded to 150+ territories across the United States and was recently named one of the fastest growing franchises in America by Entrepreneur magazine.

I spent most of my professional career as an I.T. Professional Services Program Manager. I have worked for many great companies such as IBM, Cisco, The Home Depot, Synamedia and BetterCloud to name a few. After my wife was brave enough to make a career change from Corporate Accounting to an AMI Certified Montessori Teacher (and loves it!), I decided that it was time for me to make a change as well. I have always been an active DIY'r and HGTV junkie and felt that I missed my true calling for construction management. After searching for several years, I decided to make a career change and opened my Footprints Floors franchise in 2021. I really enjoy helping my customers complete their projects to improve on their most important asset; their home. I believe that all customers deserve an honest, reputable and fair contractor that will aspire to deliver 5 star results. Those are the principles that guide me daily.

I have a wonderful wife, 2 young adult children, 2 cats, a sassy Husky and have resided in the Atlanta Metro area for the past 18 years. I am an avid runner and also love to roller skate, hike, kayak and play in the dirt.

She has been married now for 36 years to her best friend, Peter. They were blessed with two precious sons, Morgan and Trevor. Renee had the honor of homeschooling her sons and leading the county homeschool association. She has worked at the local hospital and then branched out on her own- with much support and assistance from Peter- to run a successful homecare agency for over 10 years. She was blessed to serve the seniors in the community and help them to age in place in the comfort of their own homes. She also cared for her own mother in their home.

Renee and Peter look forward to joining the reputable Footprints Flooring franchise and embracing the franchise culture of faith, family and excellence in work and customer relations.
