John Huarte, Founder and CEO, graduated from Notre Dame University and was awarded the Heisman Trophy in 1964 as quarterback of the Fighting Irish.  After spending several years as a professional football player, John and his wife, Eileen, opened a small tile store in San Diego in 1977.  The company has since grown to include more than twenty-five locations in seven western states, with products distributed to both residential and commercial customers.
