Dean’s career in the stone industry started in high school when he began installing tile for his father’s custom home building business. He continued his passion for learning and perfecting his stone installation skills on weekends and nights through college and during his career as a CPA for large Regional and International public accounting firms. While he was a director for a large accounting and consulting firm, he decided to leave his position and start a stone restoration company where he committed himself, and his company, to bring the professionalism from the corporate world into the service industry.
