Painting has been in the Litten family for generations. Corey's dad and uncle were both painters for over 40 years, so he grew up around brushes, rollers, and drop cloths before he could drive. After high school, Corey spent 13 years at Sherwin-Williams, selling paint across the country and specifying products for projects as large as hospitals, apartment complexes, vacation condo buildings, and office buildings. That experience gave him deep knowledge of what products actually perform and what fails.
But the dream was always to follow in the family's footsteps and run his own painting business. In 2024, Corey made it happen. He launched Litten's Painting in Greenwood, IN, where he's lived for the past 10 years. The goal was simple: build a painting company that does what it says it'll do, communicates clearly, and delivers work the homeowner is proud of. That's still the goal today.
Outside of work, Corey is a married father of two daughters. He enjoys the outdoors, follows IU athletics, and spends his free time traveling and spending time with family and friends.
