Our Leadership
FOUNDER & CEO
Wayne Foreman
Wayne Foreman is a seasoned entrepreneur and industry leader in the door and hardware business, with experience dating back to the early 2000s. After several career transitions, Wayne relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, where he was hired to launch a door and hardware division for his employer. With strong customer and vendor relationships, the opportunity seemed ideal—until 2011, when his employer could no longer afford his salary and offered him a 100% commission-based role.
Faced with uncertainty, Wayne and his wife, Stephanie Foreman, turned to prayer for guidance. By Monday, Wayne returned with a bold proposal: he would take $20,000 worth of inventory and repay it over six months. The employer agreed, and the couple took a leap of faith.
They cashed out Stephanie’s 401K, receiving $5,000 after penalties, and maxed out their credit cards from $45,000 to $60,000. Their prayer was simple: that God would bless their new business—not to be big, but to be enough to care for their family and employees. From day one, they committed to giving back to the community, supporting the homeless, feeding the hungry, and funding missionaries worldwide through a percentage of top-line sales. That leap of faith became CDF, a company built on faith, innovation, and generosity.

From Startup to Industry Pioneer
CDF began with just Wayne and one employee. Today, it has grown into six organizations with over 150 team members. Early on, CDF pioneered online door sales, becoming the first company in the U.S. to sell doors online. Sales expanded from local to regional, now offering nationwide delivery.
CDF’s proprietary ProBuilder platform allows customers to:
- Configure doors in real time
- Instantly receive quotes
- Instantly purchase online
No other company in the industry offers this level of real-time door configuration and purchasing technology.
Faith, Culture, and Giving Back
CDF continues to give generously— giving a percentage of top-line revenue or net income, whichever is greater. God has blessed the company’s faithfulness, and Wayne remains committed to building a strong, values-driven culture.
