Adventures with Swamp People!

It's always entertaining to be on the road with the StarFloors team. Since we are a nationwide flooring company, our team has to travel all over the United States making sure our processes and installations are going perfectly....or to the Star Standard!

During one of his trips, Chris C., our Quality Control Manager, found himself in the company of some feisty friends..... and we're not talkin gators!

Does the guy on the right look familiar? He should if you are a fan of the hit History Channel show, SwampPeople. Chris had the chance to hang out with Mike Kliebert from Season 1 of Swamp People.

Mike was literally raised among the gators, growing up on the alligator and turtle farm his father founded about 50 years ago. He still lives there with his wife, two sisters and brother-in-law, Bruce Mitchell. While many similar establishments breed alligators indoors, the Kliebert Farm takes a more natural approach, keeping its resident animals in outdoor ponds. Some of the gators who live there are 50 years old and up to 12 feet long.
Tending the farm is backbreaking work, so Mike takes every opportunity to hunt wild gators in rivers, bayous and marshes. A man of many talents, he spends the little free time he has building boats, repairing engines and brewing his own beer and wine.*

Thanks for sharing Chris!

A happy bunch!
