### Founder & President
## MARK LOOKER
Meet Mark, one of our two original owners! He and his brother, Jay started APS on Oct. 1st 1981 with two small trucks, a roller, a uniloader and no employees. How far they have come as a company and the legacy they have built is incredible. He is proud of his team and says “It’s amazing to watch the next generation build this company. As the years go by our involvement is decreasing, as I suppose it should be. We did a great job getting the company off the ground, but the next generation is doing a better job of taking APS to the next level. So, an extra thank you to a few of our dedicated long-time employees Chase, Jason, Tyson, Cory, Hoff, and Christy, as well as all the other team members for your hard work and dedication.” Mark has set the bar incredibly high, and as we continue to grow as a company, we will do it with his mentorship in mind. Thank you, Mark, for paving the way!
### Founder & Secretary-Treasurer
## JAY LOOKER
Meet Jay, one of our two original owners! He and his brother Mark started APS on October 1, 1981 with two small trucks, a roller, a uniloader, and no employees. The growth of the company over the last 40 years has been incredible. Jay has had many positions within the company over the years, doing everything from laboring to company operations. He has made a huge impact on the company, which in turn has made a huge impact on the community. Jay, you have helped pave the way for our team to continue your legacy at APS!
### Founder & Vice President
## RICK KIEHN
Meet Rick! He joined Mark, Jay and APS in 1990 to create a saw cutting and concrete division, extending the services offered at APS. Rick has been monumental in the growth of the company over the years, earning our gratitude and respect. As he works his way to retirement, we are confident his son, Tyson, will continue to grow this division with the same dedication and care. Thank you, Rick, for forming a rock-solid example for us to follow!
### Vice President of Operations
## CHASE LOOKER
Meet Chase! He has been following in his father, Mark Looker’s, footsteps by working with the company for more than 24 years. The first 15 years were out in the field with asphalt crews, which has given him an abundant knowledge in the field. He used this knowledge to work his way to becoming Vice President of Operations. This position has many requirements, including managing the asphalt, grinding, excavation and trucking portion of the company, as well as sales and operations. He believes the potential for younger employees to move into leadership roles as a result of company growth is imperative for the future of the company. He is quoted as saying “I truly enjoy what I do, and I’m proud to be a part of APS’s growth. It’s exciting to see the direction we have been heading. Expansion not only involves growth as a company, but creates new positions that provide upward mobility for our motivated team members.” Chase, your journey within the company is something we are proud to be a part of, and we look forward to growing the company alongside you as you continue expanding your family’s legacy.
### Concrete Sales & Project Manager
## TYSON KIEHN
Meet Tyson! He has been a quality and dedicated team member for 22 years. He started his journey cleaning tools, followed by moving into a laborer position within the concrete decision. As his father and valued owner Rick moves closer to retirement, Tyson has moved into the office to start managing projects, as well as estimating. This gives him a chance to expand his career, and opens opportunities for new laborers. Thank you, Tyson, for everything you have done for the company!
### Sales & Project Manager
## BILL SETZER
Meet Bill! He has been an estimator and project manager for more than 12 years. Bill works with the public to bid and secure jobs, followed by working directly with our crews to manage each job in detail.

His attention to detail and commitment to the company is greatly appreciated.
### Sales & Project Manager
## DAN DANIELS
Meet Dan! He has been a dedicated team member and estimator of Asphalt Patch Systems for 26 years. He spends most of his time out in the field working with homeowners associations and local private businesses, establishing long relationships and repeat customers. His friendly and outgoing personality makes him absolutely perfect for this job. According to Dan, “It’s pretty exciting to see the direction the new generation of owners and employees are taking this company, expanding the service that we provide and still maintaining quality and integrity with every job. Asphalt Patch Systems is in fine hands and will be here for a very long time.” You are an asset to our team, Dan and we are grateful for all of your hard work!
