Mark Larson
Service Manager
Years at MWMC: 11
Bio: I love working at Midwest and serving our customers. I believe that our customers are the best boat customers around! When I am not here at the shop, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 2 kids. We also have 2 yellow labs that keep us running. I enjoy sky skiing, slalom skiing and driving the boat! You may see me on Bryant Lake in Eden Prairie early in the mornings getting a ski run in before work, or if you are in the Alexandria area, you may see me there getting away at our family cabin. Next time you are in the shop, please stop into the service office and say hi!

Mark Mattila
Mark started at Midwest shortly after the last ice age (actually 1985). Since he has been in the industry since the invention of the internal combustion engine and fiberglass, Mark holds a great wealth of knowledge. If something has ever broken or needed service on an inboard ski boat, Mark has done it. Mark not only knows every Master Craft, Indmar, and PCM part number by heart but can also dazzle one with his infinite wisdom covering all things related to Taco Bell. Mark is regarded as one of the top inboard boat technicians in the country and also answers to the name Carburetor Cowboy.
Mark and his wife Carrie have a whole mess of kids. The most recent tally of offspring was 4. Next time you see Mark, ask him how many kids he has because it will probably be more by then!

Paul Imus
He might look like a mild mannered guy but Paul is really a rocker at heart. He had more fun with the hair bands in the 80's and 90's than his follicles could handle. When not maintaining some of the best boats in the world you can find Paul driving a Zamboni at the Plymouth Ice Arena. If you are looking for information about vintage snowmobiles, dirt bikes, or three wheelers, Paul is your man. He knows more about a 1983 ATC 110 than anyone!

Matt Keuseman
Service Tech. Gel and Mechanical
Years at MWMC: 5
Years Riding: 11 (Not in a row!)
Current Board: Double Up Summit
Current Waterski: HO Charger
Bio: I love anything on the water, boarding, skiing, surfing, hanging with friends in my boat or rippin' around on my stand-up jet ski. I have a passion for fixing and making things, I enjoy working on basically anything that has a motor. Other hobbies include BBQ's, chillin' with friends, bowling with Doodles, shootin' pool, truck pulls, and pretty much anything else. I am also Firefighter for the city of Chanhassen, yes we really to rescue cats from trees and storm sewers. Fighting fires is really what its about. (not to mention most chicks dig firemen, so that's always a plus) (Note: If you live in the Chanhassen area do your best to not need a fireman when there is glass on Lake Minnewashta because you are going to be out of luck. Matt is a volunteer fireman and for some reason he does not get the call when the lake is butter!)

Ben Larson
Title: Sales Manager - Wakeboards.com
Years at MWMC: 1.5 years
Bio: I went to St. Cloud State and Graduated in 2010, and started working at MWMC in March of 2011 and absolutely love it! My favorite part of my job is helping out customers in whatever way I can, and hearing how excited they are to get out on the water and try their new set up! Outside of the shop, wakeskating is my fortay….if there’s open water I’ll be there, even if I have to throw a Drysuit, and/or a wetsuit on!! When not working, I love being with friends and out the lake, and playing hockey in the off season....if you have any questions on a product give me a buzz and I can take care of you!!!!
Things to live by:
A wakeskate set a day keeps the Dr. away
