I began my career in the cleaning and restoration industry in the early 1990's. I was first employed with Andrews Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning in the state of Maryland where I worked as a technician for 2 years. With the desire to expand my experience in the industry, I was referred to Normandy Carpet Care, a large outfit servicing Maryland, Washington DC and Virginia where I worked as a Crew Leader and began my education with the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration earning my industry certificates and certifications over the next 5 years. After moving to Wilmington, North Carolina, I secured a management position with Sano Steam, the areas largest cleaning and restoration company, for approximately 4 years. In 2004 I fell in love with Charleston SC. Shortly after making the move , I became employed with Rainbow Custom Floors as a Senior Technician and continued my education with the IICRC over the next 10 years. Here in Charleston I met my beautiful wife, Kara. We married on Folly Beach in 2012 and now reside in Moncks Corner with our son, Everett John Critzer.
