How did you get started in the tile and marble industry?Jamey: From a young age I liked to work with my hands. At the age of 14 I began my "careers" at Burger King, then the construction adventure began with sanding driveways for a subcontractor of US Homes which then moved on to concrete work, pool marcite, long line commercial fishing, and then I landed a job as an apprentice technician for a tile company. That was the beginning of my passion for the industry.
Working from the ground up in the flooring industry, I honed my skills and turned those skills into the passion of building TTMI - Tropical Tile & Marble into the best company in the industry. It takes hard work, perseverance, a thirst for learning that never stops, as well as a solid team behind you to become the best, and we have been able to accomplish that in our 32 years in business. |

What sets you apart?Our attention to detail. We would rather do it right the first time. There is a ton of technical knowledge that gets put behind every job, "aka" work of art. Projects are well beyond a "slap and stick" installation. There are times when we are a "roofing" contractor, per se, and you must know the proper technical information to make sure it is done right.

Where are you from?I was born and raised in Florida. Naples has been my "home plate" for over 50 years.

What is it like to work with you?Adventurous. I will challenge you, coach you, mentor you and stand with and beside you. I expect the same in return. I have an affinity for attention to detail, and a passion to positively affect all those that I come in contact with.
