Christi is the owner of Select Surface Solutions of Orlando, FL. The company was founded a decade ago following her retirement from  a distinguished career in advanced science education spanning over two decades. This transition into the concrete industry was a natural  progression, as she was raised in an environment where custom home  construction was a family legacy, with her father being an integral part  of it. She and her sisters actively participated in this trade alongside  thier father during thier college years.

Christi's upbringing also instilled in her a diverse skill set, thanks to her mother, who imparted valuable lessons in sewing, cooking, gardening, painting, and encouraged a lifelong commitment to learning and creating rather than simply purchasing.

From thier humble beginnings, Select Surface Solutions initially collaborated with a sole manufacturer, Surecrete. However, as time has passed, they have strategically aligned themselves with nearly a dozen other reputable manufacturers, including Coating Solutions,  Butterfield, Ameripolish, Sika, and World Diamond Source, among others.  This strategic expansion empowers Select Surface Solutions to offer an extensive and diversified range of decorative concrete and coating products.

At Select Surface Solutions, they take immense pride in assisting thier  contractors by providing technical support for products, offering  solutions to intricate job challenges, and conducting training sessions  on unfamiliar products and techniques. They believe in fostering a  collaborative environment, and are proud to acknowledge the Women in Architecture, Construction, and WACP, which provides a valuable platform for women to connect, network, and receive the support they deserve.

Christi eagerly anticipates the opportunity to continue her mission of offering training and support within the industry through her partnership with WACP.
