Tom Grabinski<br />

Why you should know him: Tom<br />

Grabinski manages his family owned<br />

business, On Call Restoration. He's the guy<br />

to call if a pipe breaks in your basement or<br />

you find mold in your house. <strong>The</strong> company<br />

works to get your property back to normal<br />

as fast as possible.<br />

On Call Restoration is: We are a full<br />

service restoration company serving<br />

central and east central Iowa. We assist<br />

owners, insurance companies, lenders and<br />

property managers with their crisis real<br />

estate management needs.<br />

Matt Sheko<br />

Why you should know him:<br />

Matt Sheko is the owner <strong>of</strong> MAS<br />

Productions, a full service video<br />

production company. He can help you<br />

create commercials, training videos,<br />

how-to videos and much more. He's<br />

worked in the industry for years, and<br />

even works with ESPN on live sports<br />

broadcasts.<br />

What I do: I consult, support and<br />

create video content for businesses,<br />

television networks, organizations<br />

and for my own ventures. This work<br />

involves live broadcasts, commercials,<br />

marketing, training, customer support,<br />

social media and events.<br />

My typical day at work: One <strong>of</strong><br />

the biggest attractions for me about<br />

my work is the day to day diversity.<br />

A typical day in my job: We dry out<br />

properties following floods or water line<br />

breaks, clean up after fires, empty out<br />

hoarder properties, clean up biohazards<br />

and do build back <strong>of</strong> the properties where<br />

necessary. Further, our truck mount<br />

extraction equipment enables us to<br />

perform state <strong>of</strong> the art carpet cleaning.<br />

When I'm not working: In my free<br />

time I spend time with my six children and<br />

their families.<br />

If I’m in the <strong>of</strong>fice I may be creating<br />

a proposal for a new client, writing<br />

scripts, planning my next project or<br />

editing. When I’m out <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>fice,<br />

I could be working on a live sports<br />

broadcast for ESPN or the Big Ten<br />

Network, on location shooting a<br />

video, or in a meeting consulting with<br />

a client. I enjoy not having a routine<br />

and being able to work with a variety<br />

<strong>of</strong> clients and circumstances.<br />

How I got my start: I started in<br />

video when I was 15 years old with a<br />

program in high school, I was lucky<br />

to find a career I loved very early in<br />

life. I excelled at all aspects <strong>of</strong> video<br />

production and found freelance work<br />

with the local cable TV system, and<br />

other production companies while I<br />

was still in high school, and that’s how<br />

I’ve earned a living for the last 25 years.<br />

Why <strong>Grinnell</strong>: I moved to <strong>Grinnell</strong><br />

from Detroit to start a new video<br />

production department for a local<br />

company. After 5 years I wanted to<br />

get back to running my own business.<br />

<strong>Grinnell</strong> really grew on me during<br />

this time. I think the town has a lot<br />

to <strong>of</strong>fer a family, it’s progressive, the<br />

community involvement is great, and<br />

the people here are fantastic. I look<br />

forward to supporting the community<br />

and helping out other local businesses.<br />

Something most people don't<br />

know about me: I would like to<br />

try my hand at writing and directing a<br />

comedy movie, and try stand up.<br />
