Book Highlight: A Career History

May 22, 2015 Alison Taylor
"An Extraordinary Life" tells the story of Robert L. Marquardt's remarkable career and life.

"An Extraordinary Life" tells the story of Robert L. Marquardt's remarkable career and life.

A personal history can also be interesting to a wider audience than one's family and friends. Here is a book we were privileged to create for Robert L. Marquardt, a renowned businessman who became passionate about the Job Corps program. Besides providing employment for many thousands of people around the world, he had a vision centered on helping other people succeed in life. He worked with thousands of youth who had grown up in challenging circumstances and changed many lives in the process.

Unfortunately, Bob passed away during the process of creating his book, and we were able to complete it with the help of his loving family. He left behind a legacy of entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and community service.
