Greenville, S.C. —

Rug supplier 828 International has named three sales pros to cover key markets, effective immediately.

Cliff Christenson will cover Colorado and Wyoming. With more than 20 years experience, he has represented suppliers in both commercial and residential segments, including Oriental Weavers and Surya.

David Kraus will handle Northern New Jersey and Albany, N.Y. He spent 27 years with A. Kraus & Son in Bayside, N.Y., a family-owned and operated floorcovering and interior decorating business that succeeded through three generations.

Steve Cummins will service San Francisco and Northern California, where he has been active for 11 years. He began his floor covering sales career with Fabrica, and in 2001 launched his own agency covering the Western territory for residential carpet and rug clients.

"The addition of Christenson, Kraus, and Cummins gives us a strong, well-rounded team that is ready to take advantage of current and future opportunities," said Tom Morris, national sales manager, 828 International.
