Meet the Statements Team

 

Tony is a self-proclaimed “complete tile nerd.” During his 28 years with Statements, he has worked in every department of the company. From the warehouse to the showroom or from the sales team to the order desk, Tony strives to leave a positive impact on the lives of his co-workers and customers. If he is not at work, he loves an early morning on the golf course so he can spend the rest of his day with his beautiful wife and family.

Wellness & Morale Division

 

Blue is our beloved Pawject Manager, always ready to lend a paw and boost team morale. With a keen sense for good vibes, he keeps a close eye on the team (especially if snacks are involved). When he’s not supervising operations from his favorite sunny spot, you’ll find him chasing tennis balls, collecting belly rubs, or making surprise appearances during meetings—purely for quality control, of course.

Millie, our Director of Puplick Relations, is new to Portland from Minnesota and already winning hearts one tail wag at a time. She’s always available for a good pet, a game of fetch, or a quick photo—especially if treats are involved. Millie is convinced everyone comes in just to see her (not the tile), but don’t worry—she’ll make sure there are no paw prints on your tiles.
