Who we are and what we Do
Lets meet the Team here at Titan!
Doug Gerhart Ex.Vice President
In 1983, I started as an installation helper with a small flooring contractor in Houston TX. For the next 5 years, we became predominate sheet vinyl installers in the Houston area. I saw an opportunity to start my own installation company and began working as a subcontractor for Commercial Carpets Inc. During that time, I was managing 12 to 15 installers on 2 to 3 large projects a week. The owner of the company, Barbara Frazier asked for assistance with a large bid, which we won; and from there, I became the company's estimator/salesman. Within 2 years, I was promoted to VP and never looked back. In 1996, I joined Federal Flooring Co. and moved back to Ohio. I progressed from Project Manager to a Sales Manager until 2003, when the company was sold. In October 2003, I joined M&S Flooring Inc. as the Sales Manager. I managed the sales team and helped increase the company business until I left the them to begin Titan Commercial Flooring Inc in 2010.
Christal Gerhart President
I began my entrepreneurial interests with my father’s bulk vending business 22 years ago. There I did accounting, scheduling of routes and created a database for locations and inventory.
In 2010, my husband, Doug, wanted to start his own commercial flooring business. Having been home with our daughter for a couple of years, I cherished the idea of getting back to work and staying so close to home by working out of the warehouse behind our home.
I took on the Financial Officer position and most of the day-in and day-out workings of the office.
I enjoy coming to work each day with our team of professionals that I am happy to call my TITAN family.
Scott Jones Sr.Project Manager
In 1993, I started as the Operations Manager for a small local carpet supplier/installer in a suburb of Dayton Ohio. It was my job to manager all day-to-day business from sales to payroll. I left there in 1995 to join Federal Flooring Co as a project manager. It was there, where Doug and I met for the first time. I became a vital part of the business with sales over 500k each year. While there, I created a floor maintenance division that would provide commercial floor cleaning services to our new and established customers. Like Doug, in 2003, I left the company and started work with Rite Rug Company’s commercial division. I utilized AutoCAD for estimations and maintained a sales value both in new product installation but also in the maintenance division. In 2006, I ventured out into the flooring installation side, full time, working with a residential home builder on new constructed homes. Discovering that my body was not liking the physical demands of installing, I took a job with Axis Interior Systems as a Production/Sales manager in 2008. There I created a maintenance division from the ground up and developed a hardwood gym floor division. Doug and I stayed in contact throughout the years and it was in 2015, that he wanted me to join the team at Titan Commercial Flooring, selling along side of him and Christal.
Tracy Jones General Manager
I am the newest member of the team! I come from a very diverse background of working in government contracting, manufacturing, not-for-profit, and the automotive industries. I am no stranger to the construction industry in Dayton either, having worked at Miller Valentine Construction and Dayton Superior Corp. for several years. I normally work on the payroll and financial side but as the General Manager, I will contribute to the product applications and day-to-day scheduling of jobsite demands.
