How We Transitioned to a Second-Generation Family Business

In 1980, my dad, Doug Lux, established Milwaukie, Ore.-based D-Lux Hardwood Floors. The business has always been an integral part of my life and my brother Nick’s, and we’ve known from a young age that we wanted to carry on the family legacy.

Shelby, Nick and Doug Lux.
