No Fault Personnel

They’re the liaisons for support and information, who provide you with care for all of your No Fault product needs. Many have assisted No Fault with the original tennis court surfaces and track surfaces company that grew into creating the poured-in-place No Fault Rubber Safety Surface product we have today.

Each of our team members have put together information about themselves so that you can learn about their education, background and the kinds of things that interest them. We know that this information will help you feel great about choosing the No Fault team to help with your project.

	David Brantley (ext. 221) began No Fault in 1974 originally as a tennis court and competitive track construction and surfacing company. Athletic (synthetic) surfacing provided the basis for David's development of the first poured-in-place safety surface designed specifically for playgrounds in the United States. In the mid to late 1980's, the demand by the quick service restaurants coupled with new "impact" guidelines issued by the Consumer Product Safety Council (CPSC) established No Fault's unique reputation in the national and eventually international playground markets.
