Tony Evers has lived and worked as a high-level executive all over the world. Now, he just wants to look at your floor – and help you make it better.
The Oregon native has opened a new business – Floor Coverings International – in Tigard, with a storefront at 10240 S.W. Nimbus Ave. The business has a unique concept reflecting his own remodeling background.
After teaching industrial arts and vocational agriculture at Willamina and then Hillsboro high schools, he began a globe—trotting career in the field of industrial adhesives when he accepted a sales position with Imperial Chemical Industries in the mid-1980s. After moving into management positions at the company’s offices in Seattle, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Dallas, he moved on to head the company’s operations in Venezuela, South Africa, Chile, Poland and Russia.
When the company was bought out and consolidated in 2008, Evers found himself without a job. So, he decided to come home to Oregon.
“In the different places that I’ve lived, I would buy houses that needed a lot of repair and remodeling,” Evers said. “And a lot of those would involve flooring projects.”
So when he returned to Oregon and was deciding his next move, he began taking on remodeling projects for family and friends.
