About Me

I am a 30 year old entrepreneur of 5 years. I enjoy all things related to strategy, ethics, and entrepreneurship. I'm happily married and enjoy reading and study. I'm active in my community and am on a quest to enjoy this life to its fullest.

My Business

Cedar Mountain Tilemakers

My expertise, what I bring to the table

My expertise is in outside the box thinking and strategy. I started my company with very little money or experience and have built in into a leading tile manufacturer in the Northwest.

Marketing, sales, innovation, and cultivating ideas are also strong assets.

I don't have a formal education but am a voracious student of both business/life knowledge and experience.

My Goals

* Grow Cedar Mountain Tilemakers into a business that no longer needs me within 10 years.

My Defining Moment

Giving my life to Jesus Christ changed my work ethic, relationships, and outlook on life.

Who I'm looking to meet

Entrepreneurial minded people who are committed to advancing adeptness in business.

Interests

Entrepreneurship, Ethics, My wife, MMA, the Outdoors, Reading, Study, and Music

Agreements struck on a handshake make entertaining stories. Most times though, they aren’t easy to tell. Why? Because they often come with one or more of the following: broken friendships, breached trust, lost assets, scarring due to having a knife removed from your back,… Continue

At 9:36am on December 1, 2008, Tyler Fishback said…: Slow, but get involved with the construction companies that are immersing themselves in construction management. My Dad's best friend has one of the biggest construction companies in RI and he saw business slowing as well; diversified himself into construction management and is as on fire as ever. I believe a lot of successful construction companies will find themselves going this route.

Placing less of a burden on your customer is very smart at this point in time--everything's going to bounce back at some point. You're an entrepreneur--you'll always find a way to push through!

Let's connect back in a couple of weeks; take care man!
