Working in Marion County
Growing up in a small town and spending my life working and living here, I marvel at the continued growth of Marion County and the opportunity this has provided as a business owner. We travel the state of Iowa doing electrical/sports lighting projects but the best part is working at home and driving by projects we have completed locally.

Living in Marion County
The great variety of places to eat, family activities, and a safe place to raise my family.

Lake Red Rock, Slideways, Knoxville Raceway

Career Opportunities
