He learned early to turn his hobbies into income, and his first job was at Mick Riley Golf Course. This job provided not only a wage but also free golf and access to some great people. Marvin enjoys camping, hunting, golf, mountain biking, and spending time outdoors with his family. After marrying his wife Kim, Marvin took a job as a driver at a small recycling company called Utah Recycling. He figured this would be an excellent job to hold while he finished school. Marvin got to see many different aspects of this business as he worked his way through school and started his family. Through some hard times and long hours, Marvin attained his degree from the University of Phoenix in 1997 in Business Administration while still working for Utah Recycling. In 1999, Allied waste acquired Utah Recycling; to Marvin, this didn’t seem like a good fit. Some key members of management had plans to start up their own business. Marvin was fortunate to find a way into this group, and they formed Rocky Mountain Recycling in late 1999. This business had its ups and downs, but after nearly 21 years was sold to CellMark, with whom they worked in partnership for many years. Marvin stayed on to be the General Manager of the new Rocky Mountain Recycling Services Company. Jana Buchi, Sales and Business Development Jana Buchi began her career representing Konica and Fuji Film. It required a lot of travel. As she was looking for something closer to home while raising a family, she found the offer to represent a recycling company and thought she would be able to make a difference in the world — and she has — over a 20-year career. Jana worked for BFI/Allied Waste and after several life events accepted a position with Rocky Mountain Recycling in 2006. Jana enjoys meeting new people and developing business relationships. She sees accounts and customers with a perspective to work together for the benefit of both. She approaches operational relations as partnerships and has developed several major accounts into personal friends. When there are concerns or questions about the markets or industry, Jana addresses them with integrity and fairness. Jana sees the company acquisition by CellMark, Inc. as a major step forward in providing service to accounts for their success. Jana loves the outdoors and being with her family, especially seeing her four adorable grandchildren weekly. Hiking, backpacking, climbing and canyoneering are favorite activities. She is currently training a Springer Spaniel named Raymond to hike right along on her adventures.
