Steve worked hard, learning everything he could about tiles. One day, a friend called Steve with exciting news: a perfect space for a tile store had opened up in Santa Rosa.
With dreams in their hearts, Steve and Lana took a leap of faith and opened Ceramic Tile Center.
Steve networked and took on challenges of starting a mom and pop shop. With just one other employee at CTC, Lana balanced a job at Safeway during the week while helping Steve at the tile store on the weekends.
Together, they poured their hearts into the business, determined to make it succeed.
Amidst the challenges of building a new business, Steve and Lana raised two boys, Tyler and Peter. The family juggled the demands of work and home life with unwavering dedication.
The boys grew up in the showroom, playing and learning from their parents. Steve and Lana taught them the importance of hard work, integrity, and treating others with respect.
As the business grew, so did the family's love for spending time together. They cherished their trips to Oregon, exploring the great outdoors and creating lasting memories.
In their twenties, Tyler and Peter joined the family business and continued to learn from their parents' success.
The Lewis family continues to work and grow together.
Despite the demands of the business, Steve and Lana never lost sight of what mattered most: their family. They still make time for their beloved fishing trips, white water rafting, and vacations to Oregon, cherishing every moment together.
