Footprints Floors Founder and CEO, Bryan Park

June 11, 2024 by rgandley

Bryan-ParkBryan Park grew up in south Denver. He attended the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO and served this country after graduation. Like most who serve, Bryan’s military experience strengthened his belief in, and commitment to, integrity, duty and leadership.

When Bryan and wife Kelli settled in Littleton, Colorado they started a family…three rambunctious girls and two very big dogs. It was then, Bryan noticed that the flooring industry in Denver was highly inefficient and unscrupulous. It was nearly impossible to find providers who worked with a true sense of honesty and fairness.

Changing this was not only an opportunity for Bryan, it was practically a calling. “Putting the customer first and creating an impeccable reputation in this industry was Job #1,” says Bryan, about his goals for his future flooring company in Denver. He named it Footprints Floors, and created a unique company structure that promoted the best in people, products and business practices. Footprints-Floors-logo

It worked! So much so, that Footprints Floors is one of the largest hardwood providers in Colorado and is growing rapidly.
