Would you like to build a company that could last 100 yrs?   Join Christopher Walker in another great Tile Money interview. This was a great revealing discussion into what goes into building a company that can last a century! Chris works for David Allen Company, DAC was established in 1920! Chris has a long history inside the Tile Installation Industry, getting his start as an apprentice during his college years, tile was not meant to turn into a lifelong career and passion. Yet that is exactly what happened.  Chris is the current President of the NTCA and he works diligently on the TCNA board and multiple other industry volunteer positions.  I'm very grateful for Chris' leadership and his making the time for this important interview.
