Emilio Vindiola

My journey in the flooring industry began in 2000. I had a brother who worked as a union installer and I had no knowledge of manual labor, but it intrigued me to see his passion for what he did. I inquired to see what opportunities there were for me and found myself taking the apprenticeship test shortly after. I always felt that when I was committed to something, I was going into it the best I could at all measures. I achieved Journeyman status, and shortly after Foreman status. I ran my first large project in South San Francisco and never looked back. With a mindset of never settling, I wanted more and had motivation to become an Estimator. With no experience as an Estimator, I set goals for myself year after year and grew a business within the Company. Over the past 15 years, I have been able to exceed more than I could have ever expected in flooring sales. I am very proud of the work ethic and relationships I have had the opportunity to build over my career. April 2024 will mark the 2-year anniversary of when we purchased C&S Flooring Systems Inc. and created Future Flooring Group. Our Team was created to bring a different experience of flooring knowledge and growth to this market for younger generations to come. We built a diverse team of partners in all segments of this industry to be one of the leading flooring companies for a very long time. The most important driving force in my life is my family. I have been married to my wife for 21 years. I have a son who is graduating from the University of Arizona. And we have our beloved 12-year-old, 4- legged son named Toby. My hobbies are running, golf and spending time with my family. My biggest accomplishment outside of my marriage to my wife was the opportunity to run 8,800 miles around Australia and Tasmania with runners from around the world.
