Shannon Roark

Shannon was born and raised in Indiana in an artistic family.  He was admitted into Ball State’s Architectural Honors Summer program on an art scholarship but graduated from Butler University with a BA in Psychology.   He studied and lived abroad for a year and opened a nightclub after college.  His career in the design world was not the typical path.  Among many ventures he has taught staging classes, designed kitchens for 15 years, written a design column, opened a home furnishings store, designed finishes for home builders, and sold building material to residential and commercial clients.   He has just joined TEKA Hardwood as a Regional Territory Manager and a National Commercial Sales Director.  Teka Hardwood is unique in that it owns its own factory and makes its own core. Having total control over the raw material, manufacturing processes, and final finishing creates a trusted product and benefits from having better pricing.  Shannon will work closely with the President of TEKA who studied Dendrology and arbor science.  This is not your typical brand - it's the leader in science, innovation, and sustainability.  Wood flooring is generally more sustainable vs. synthetic made flooring and is unique because mother nature is your co-creator.  Having sold many types of flooring Shannon is prepared to address all things flooring related and dive deep into the benefits of his new wood flooring venture.
