INSPIRING THROUGH ENGAGEMENT. Leadership over all lines of business with an emphasis in creating teams with a focus on long-term success – that’s James Ford. He provides best practice strategies for optimizing operations and company performance, as well as strategic and succession planning. His curiosity and natural tendency to focus on the future motivates others toward action. James attributes his interest in the industry to his father who installed flooring for a living as well as the people within the industry – “hard-working, no-nonsense people who are focused on getting the job done . . . hands down, my favorite part of working at Egan is our amazing people.” Since joining the Board of Directors in 2017, he’s championed a commitment to help Egan continue living its core values. He values relationships and aims to provide the best experience to Egan’s customers, partners, and employees. 

Strength on Team: pioneer and innovative problem solver
