MICHAEL KARCH

Michael Karch is the owner of Nob Hill Decorative Hardware and Floyd Total Security. Michael began his career to Floyd Lock and Safe Company as a locksmith back in the 1960’s. Floyd sold and installed deadbolt locks and all types of commercial hardware, safes and vaults.

Nob Hill was a natural addition to complement the already existing Floyd locksmithing business. Starting at the Galleria, Nob Hill became known as the premier decorative hardware showroom in Minnesota. Floyd locksmith’s already were experts at installing hardware. Adding decorative hardware seemed to be a natural progression for the talents of the lock staff.

Michael grew up in South Minneapolis, and attended St. Cloud State and the University of Minnesota. After military service, Michael graduated from Concordia with a degree in business communications and organization. He continued at Floyd starting the security alarm division and continued at Floyd purchasing Nob Hill in 1999. Michael lives in Minnetrista with his wife Beverly and Labradoodle Max.

Louie

Hi!  My name is Louie and I am the new Nob Hill official show room dog!  My Mom is Ellen.  She rescued me in March of 2020.  I came up from Oklahoma and suddenly my life changed and I feel like the luckiest dog in the world!  I get to go to work with her every day.  I love to run around and play.  Please don’t be upset with me if you find a tennis ball or toy at the front door.  My best friend Chris was probably throwing them for me and then I happened to look outside and saw a squirrel.   (Those things are hard to catch!)  I’m trying to be better about cleaning up my toys.  I know it will never happen, but the humans around here think I’ll learn.

It was really slow and quiet when I first started going to work but now more and more people are coming into the showroom and I’m sure they are all here to see me.  I love to welcome people!  After lunch I get to go on a long walk with my Mom and then I am wiped out for the rest of the day.  My Mom has the most comfortable bed for me in her office.  How does everyone else around here go without a nap???  I don’t understand humans.  If you want to meet me in the afternoon, just ask the front desk to page me.  I will come running, and say hi!
