Mark Triplett Photography 
It all started with an old brownie box camera in the early 1960s in the back yard of his parent's home in St. Paul. Photographing mainly nature, and a few shots of his wacky brothers, Mark quickly was drawn to the freedom of expression with this art form. 

Fascinated with this art form early in his life gave birth to what is now a very satisfying career as a professional portrait photographer. Capturing images that tell stories or reveal the true nature of a subject is my ultimate goal.  

Having fun, and creating an environment of excitement and learning is always the fuel behind each and every photo session.

So have some fun and make beautiful art together with Mark!  Check it out: www.marktriplett.com.

Clean N Easy Professional & Commercial Cleaning (Ben Strand, owner and Cities member) 
With a background in cleaning, years of experience with a variety of companies, techniques, levels of service and now an inside edge on the best possible cleaning tools (including machines and consumables), I officially launched my business in summer 2009 called, Clean N Easy.

When I was young, I collected used vacuum cleaners, fixed them up, put them in my wagon and went down the street, offering to clean out my neighbors' cars and houses. When the Sunday paper arrived each week, I quickly shuffled through it to find the advertisements for the newest vacuum models. It wasn't long before kids started poking fun at me, so I tried my best to focus on other more "popular" interests.

I have a great passion for cleaning and have been a people-pleaser by nature in all that I have done, so finding my entrepeneurial spirit in the cleaning business was inevitable. I have been blessed with great support from my wife, Renee, my peers at Oreck Clean Home Centers and the BNI group recently formed in Hugo where I reside. God has truly been good to me! I can attribute the success of Clean N Easy to no other as I put all my faith in him to either help me succeed or guide me in a different direction. To my surprise, there have been many "miracles" and little things that have fallen into place at the right times to make it all possible.

It is my pleasure to work with anyone both residentially or comercially, but my favorite niche is working with real estate professionals. I love giving a home the ability to shine amongst the competition. The dirtiest situations are my passion as they pose the biggest challenge and the happiest endings.

At Clean N Easy, our pride is to make a lasting impression.
