Spanish Stone Empire Meets Houston: How Quartz Conquered USA
Eduardo Cosentino, born Spanish royalty of countertops, moved from Spain to Houston about 15 years ago to baguette-bash corporate America with manmade stone. Raised driving quarries with Papa Cosentino from infancy, Eduardo now juggles English lessons at 6 a.m. plus family legacy whispers in Miami and Madrid. His family's company boomed from 14 employees in the '70s to 6,000 worldwide under his dad and uncles, making them the Rockstars of Stone since 1945. Middle kid Eduardo tackles American bluntness and language hurdles with a hearty 'maybe you got me wrong' smile. Wedding bells in fall and relocation debates mean the Cosentinos' granite dynasty songs continue.
