Glenn and his wife Silvia have run their business alongside their daughters, Gina and Sarina. Sarina's husband Mathew has over 15+ years experience in the construction industry and is a leading installer for Couch Potato Carpet and Flooring.

Behind the name Glenn has been a sports guy all his life. Spending his Sunday's watching football or attending a Saturday afternoon baseball game are some of his favorite pastimes. His wife Silvia always calls him a couch potato because he loves watching sports, not so much playing them. ;-) So when it came time to come up with a name for his new flooring store, Silvia jokingly said Couch Potato Carpet. The name had a nice ring to it and it stuck! Once Glenn "The Couch Potato" decided to open a second location, he added "& Flooring". This is why we are known as Couch Potato Carpet & Flooring. P.S. We do not sell couches! :-D P.P.S. Or potatoes! X-D
