## Getting to Know Alan Zurita: Our Newest Flooring Project Manager
We're excited to welcome **Alan Zurita** to the Tangram team as our newest Project Manager in the Flooring division. With his background as a Supervisor and Foreman at a wood flooring company, Alan brings hands-on experience and technical expertise that will strengthen our flooring capabilities.
### From LA Courts to Commercial Floors
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Alan describes himself as easy-going with a passion for staying active. Whether he's shooting hoops on the basketball court, perfecting his golf swing, or kicking around a soccer ball, sports play a central role in his life outside of work.
"I enjoy having a good laugh and playing sports," Alan shares, highlighting the positive energy he brings to everything he does.
### Practical Problem-Solving Skills
When asked about survival essentials for a desert island scenario, Alan's responses reveal his practical mindset—qualities that translate well to project management:
- **A knife** for versatility and survival needs - **A large lighter** for warmth and fire-making - **A flashlight** for navigating dark, uncertain situations
This methodical approach to problem-solving will serve him well when managing complex flooring installations and coordinating project timelines.
### Embracing New Experiences
Alan's adventurous spirit extends beyond sports. His most memorable culinary experience? Trying frog legs at a San Francisco restaurant—a testament to his willingness to step outside his comfort zone and try new things.
This same openness to new experiences drives his professional outlook. "Being part of Tangram, I see there's many opportunities to learn and reach new goals," Alan explains. "I'm looking forward to becoming a valuable asset for the team."
### What Alan Brings to Our Team
With specialized knowledge in wood flooring and proven leadership experience, Alan understands both the technical and management aspects of flooring projects. His background as a Supervisor and Foreman means he's familiar with:
- Coordinating installation teams - Managing project timelines - Ensuring quality standards - Problem-solving on-site challenges
### Beyond the Office
When he's not managing flooring projects, you might find Alan at karaoke night (his go-to song is "Under the Bridge" by Red Hot Chili Peppers, despite admitting he's "not really a good singer"). If he were to throw a party, it would be Hawaiian-themed with comedian Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias as the guest of honor—showing his appreciation for good humor and relaxed atmospheres.
### Looking Forward
Alan's combination of technical flooring expertise, leadership experience, and positive attitude makes him a natural fit for our growing team. We're confident his knowledge and hands-on experience will enhance our ability to deliver exceptional flooring solutions for our commercial clients.
**Welcome to the Tangram family, Alan!** We're excited to see the fresh perspective and expertise you'll bring to our flooring projects.
