Jim has been involved in the textile rental industry for 26 years. In 1995, he started an industrial laundry and rental company and built it from the ground up. During that time, Jim gained tremendous experience in operations, sales, production, marketing, route management, and service management.
In 2005, Jim purchased Layflat Products, LLC, a mop manufacturing company. As a diversification strategy, Layflat became a market leader in the microfiber products category, and Jim and Adam pioneered microfiber as a rental product into the national textile market.
In 2008, Layflat was sold to Impact Products, where Jim was General Manager of the Textile Division. In 2012, he saw an opportunity to better service the textile market as a manufacturer’s rep, and started Textile Rental Partners, LLC.
Jim and his wife, Suzanne, live in Shreveport, La. Together, they have six sons, three grandsons, and three granddaughters. Jim enjoys hunting and fishing, is a lifelong LSU Tiger, and is active in multiple ministries at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Shreveport.
