DENVER-Aug. 8 marked the 30th anniversary of Tom Compoz as an employee of CHASE Carpet Care. Compoz started in 1978 after leaving a job as a hotel maintenance technician. He quickly became an IICRC-certified cleaner and served as service manager for a short time.

Compoz's real talent is customer relations and he preferred to serve the clients directly, the company said. He is CHASE's most requested technician and furniture-cleaning expert. His other passion is golf, and he has been responsible for getting many CHASE clients from the golf course. Owner Neil Atkinson recently presented Compoz with a check for $10,000 for all his years of service and dedication, and is looking forward to many more years working together.
