When Marke was 13, his Dad said you need to go to work, "that’s what guys do". So Marke started a paper route and other minor jobs. At 16 and for the next 13 years, Marke worked in restaurants and skating rinks. Looking for something better, Marke and his wife, LaDonna, started a daycare. He quickly found he was not a daycare provider. At 29 years old, Marke started looking for something which was needed in the valley. He had a good mentor and went to work for a carpet cleaning company in Spokane to see if he really wanted to clean carpets.

Marke really appreciated seeing the joy on his customer’s faces when he finished a job. “I knew I had found my nitch. My need to clean meant happy customers.” Marke has never had to advertise as his current customers have always called him back. His business grew as his customers referred him new customers. When Marke is not cleaning, you may find him volunteering as a Volunteer Ski Patrol, a Volunteer Fire Department, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), or hiking with his wife and grandson.
