Brian

 Duane started in the construction business at an early age. His father "Red" worked for the highway department in Dunnell, and then worked after hours doing construction. In the 1970s, when Duane was in high school, he was also helping with the business. He began working full-time at the highway department in Fairmont upon his graduation in 1976. In 1983, shortly after Red retired from the highway department, Duane and Red decided to take the construction company to full-time, and they worked building the business together until Red's untimely death in 1989. Duane then continued building the business by himself. However, when the children were old enough to go along, they were on the job sites helping whenever they could, and the business has grown by leaps and bounds throughout the years. 

It's hard to say exactly when Brian joined the Rosburg Construction team, as it seems he has been part of the business all his life. This guy knows how to run equipment! His talents don't stop there, however, as he is also skilled at landscaping and design, and has been a pilot for two decades. Brian is also part of the local volunteer fire department, in addition to being a busy father of two boys, ages 22 & 18. When they aren't working, at school events, or keeping busy on their various projects, there is always something to do on the acreage. You won't see them sitting still very often, and that's just the way they like it!

Without a doubt, we know Red would be so proud that the business he began thrives today.
​He's be especially thrilled to know his grandchildren and great-grandchildren are involved with it, too!

Behind the Scenes...

Lisa

 When Lisa and Duane met back in 1982, she did not even know what a backhoe was. They met at the local print shop when she took his order for business cards. That was in April, and wedding bells rang in November of the same year. At that time, Duane and his dad "Red" were partners in the business. While Lisa has always worked full-time for other businesses, she has been active over the years behind the scenes, helping in the office. You may also find her driving behind a piece of equipment when moving from one site to another. Recently retired from the workforce, you will most likely find her involved with the grandchildren's activities, "nannying" for the newest grandson, or enjoying crafts or quiet time at home. Lisa developed a love for traveling through her daughter, and has been on three-generation trips to Alaska and Poland with her mother and daughter. In addition, Duane and Lisa have done some traveling throughout the States and abroad. In 2018, they took a safari trip to Kenya with their 14-year-old grandson. In 2023, their 16-year-old grandson went to Hawaii with them to visit Pearl Harbor and many other historic sites. Hopefully, the other grandchildren will get a vacation experience with grandma & grandpa, too!

Elena, Arryanna, Matt, Spencer

Matt resides in Sioux Falls, but he has been known to come home for a visit, only to end up in the field fixing a water main break throughout the night, or helping on other projects. Just like his two younger siblings, he also spent a good deal of time on the job site over the years. Matt's has spent a majority of his time in the health field; however, is now employed with a logistics management corporation. During the colder months, you can spot him in his bright orange, reflective Rosburg Construction jacket! His four children range in age from 23 to 18.
