Willard “Bill” E. Imhoff III, President and CEO
Bill Imhoff founded Intertech Flooring in Austin in 1988. Since then, he has grown the company from its original 12 employees to more than 150 employees with locations in Austin, San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley.

Prior to forming Intertech, Bill gained extensive experience in the flooring distribution business with LDBrinkman and with a national commercial flooring contracting firm. He graduated with a bachelor's in marketing, and a minor in business law, from The University of Texas at Austin. He is widely regarded as one of the leading forces in the region's commercial flooring industry.

Bill and Intertech Flooring have been recognized with numerous awards over the company’s 20-year history. In 2007, Ernst & Young named him Entrepreneur of the Year for Community Impact in the Austin Region, after being a finalist in 1996. His leadership in environmentally conscious flooring was recognized with the Austin Business Journal’s Green Business of the Year award in 2008. And in 2002, Intertech was named a finalist in the Ethics in Business Awards given by St. Edward's University and the Samaritan Center.

In 1997, the International Facility Managers Association named him Associate of the Year. The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) recognized him for his outstanding commitment to construction craft training in 1996, and in 1997 named him Associate of the Year for AGC's Austin Chapter. A longtime supporter of WorkSource, The Capital Area WorkForce Board, Bill has served as board chairman since 2006. In addition, he chaired the Construction Sector of Austin @ Work in 1999; served on the Construction Steering Committee of the Capitol Area Training Foundation, and the North San Antonio Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors; and is a member of the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce, Financial Executives Institute, Entrepreneurs Institute, Real Estate Council of Austin and International Facility Management Institute.

Bill’s entrepreneurial vision has played a key part in Intertech’s continued success. In 1992, Intertech was a founding member of StarNet flooring cooperative, providing Intertech clients with national buying power. In 2004, the company acquired the Austin and San Antonio commercial flooring, installation and maintenance business of The Invironmentalists, merging those operations into Intertech's existing locations in Austin and San Antonio. To accommodate the company’s ongoing growth, Intertech relocated in 2006 to a larger Austin facility complete with 2,000-sq.ft. showroom. And in 2007, he expanded again with the opening of a Mission, Texas, office to serve the Rio Grande Valley. His long-held interest in workforce development led to the creation in 1991 of Intertech’s Apprenticeship Program for Certified Flooring Mechanics. In 2003, the program was selected as the core curriculum for an Austin Community College two-year associate degree program, a first in the flooring industry. In San Antonio, it is administered through St. Phillips College. Intertech also funds a University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) interior design endowment, the first of its kind at the university. The funds are used to send UTSA design students to the prestigious NeoCon® World's Trade Fair held each summer in Chicago.

Bill’s first pride and joy before his business is his family: wife Sylvia, a practicing attorney, and three children, Grant, Blake and Sydney. The couple traveled to Russia several times in 2000 to adopt two toddlers out of Moscow orphanages.
