This was a fantastic discussion with Roger Scheck.

Although Roger grew up around the trades with his father, his early aspirations were to work in the movies.

He got his degree in Cinematography and experienced some success in the field. One day he decided that he wanted and needed a change. Within a few months, he had moved across the country, purchased 2 fixer-uppers, and dived back into the industry.

Listen to this discussion to learn how he fell in love with tile and built an in-demand high-end remodeling business.
