A Newport Beach native, the only time Brian has ever lived out of California was the six months he spent learning the intricacies of carpet production in the world's carpet capital, Dalton, Georgia. Brian graduated from USC with a degree in Business Finance and shortly thereafter began his flooring career as a representative for Shaw Contract Carpet. It was there where he first met Mike Moore. Brian earned his stripes as Shaw's Southwest Regional Manager and eventually directed the sales and marketing efforts of the Shaw Contract Salesforce in Southern California. After ten years with Shaw, Brian took a job with Bentley Mills and became the VP of Sales for the Southwest for Bentley/Prince Street and Interface. In 2001, Brian and Mike, by then close friends, left their respective jobs and moved to the installation side of the industry. The contractor side of the business was new and exciting and this experience was the foundation of Davison + Moore. After his years of leading Davison + Moore alongside Mike, the two have joined together with Clint Dudley and expanded further with a new office in San Diego. Brian couldn't be happier with his team and flooring contractor business.

Mike graduated from ASU with a degree in Business Marketing. He started his flooring career in 1992 working for Shaw Industries in a relatively new but rapidly expanding commercial carpet division. His first territory was San Francisco where he was part of a team working downtown with the architect and design community. He later moved to San Diego before finally settling in Orange County as Regional Manager of a young and talented sales team. In 2001, as a Regional VP for Strategic Accounts, Mike changed course. In partnership with his former colleague and close friend, Brian Davison, he left his position on the manufacturing side of the business to pursue a new opportunity as a commercial flooring contractor. This was the start of an entrepreneurial dream that has now been realized in Davison + Moore. When he's not working, Mike enjoys struggling at golf, surfing, and traveling with his wife Tori and their three children.

Directly following his graduation from UC Irvine, Clint began working in the construction industry. He began in general contracting before finding and settling on his niche in the commercial flooring industry. In 2010, Clint helped open the San Diego branch of a commercial flooring company, where he worked both in sales and project management for 9 years. Clint has always sought to develop quality and lasting relationships with both clients and vendors. Over the better part of the last decade, Clint has run the gamut of flooring projects; from large hospitals and military facilities, to small business tenant improvements. No job is too big or too small, and Clint prides himself on putting the same amount of effort and care into each project. Clint is honored to be joining Mike and Brian at Davison & Moore and looks forward to bringing the unmatched quality of their Orange County business to the San Diego market.
