Looking back on what would prove to be literally a building block for her career path, Ashley Entwisle of Mac Davis Flooring began her journey in the building industry working at LEGO. Entwisle refers to herself as technically a washashore, as she was born on Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska. She graduated from Dennis-Yarmouth High School and went on to Western New England University, where she graduated first in her class in Entrepreneurship and earned her certification in SAP (Systems and Applications). She found her way back to the Cape and like the famous interlocking bricks, she connected her roles in inventory planning and as head of purchasing—stacking up her experience until she clicked into place in her current role at Mac Davis Flooring as a project manager. A recent HB&RACC (Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Cape Cod) ‘Rising Star’ recipient, she is also certified in the National Wood Flooring Association. Entwisle approaches her role with a quiet confidence and a passion to excel in the industry. ~ Leslie Hatton

CCH: How did your career path lead you to Mac Davis Flooring?  

AE: I spent five years in purchasing where I eventually realized I wanted to learn more about other facets of the industry. I would meet and work with project managers and builders across different fields. When I met Mac, I knew nothing about flooring. What I did know is that I wanted to continue my personal growth in the industry, and I am a quick study. I became certified through the National Wood Flooring Association and hit the road running. I’m extremely operationally minded and organized. I may not be the craftsman, but I understand how it’s crafted.
