Recently she was a recipient of one of the San Antonio Business Journal’s 2016 Women’s Leadership Awards. When asked for leadership advice, Christine told the Business Journal, “Give your employees tools for success – whether it’s transportation, education, or just somebody to hear what’s on their mind. Walk along with them. Your employees need to know that you have their back at all times.” Christine’s hard work and leader- ship have helped J&R Tile lead the way in San Antonio, and meet the standards required to become an NTCA Five Star Contractor.
