A Tribute to Mark Immekus of QPS Employment Group

May 02, 2018
This past week, QPS lost its President and Chief Sales Officer, Mark Immekus, when he passed away suddenly at his home the age of 52. The news has been a shock to his family and our entire organization. Mark was such a steady presence at QPS for the past 33 years and my best friend.  
 
QPS Employment Group started in my parent’s basement back in 1985 when we were both in our early 20’s. Through the help of my parents assisting two 20-somethings make sound business decisions and Mark’s dedication to work alongside me, we were able to survive those first couple of challenging years. 
 
Over the years, Mark took on the sales leadership role. He was not only a talented sales rep himself, but was able to teach and guide so many others who he mentored. Employees loved working with him as he expected your best, but managed with compassion and fairness. 
 
Dan McNulty, QPS’ president and chief operations officer has been with QPS since 1989. The executive leadership team of Mark, Dan and myself have seen QPS grow into a nearly $200 million business throughout the Midwest. Each of us brought different attributes that worked well together for so many years. The three of us were always so thankful and proud of what QPS has grown into. 

In our staffing business, we work with such a wide variety of people. Some are business owners looking for people, and others who are looking for employment to feed their family. Mark’s personality was such that he could relate to both so well.  

He was a talented golfer and musician who played bass guitar in a local church band. Family and faith were priorities for Mark. He leaves behind 4 children along with his wife Sonja.
 
My heart aches at his loss. The impression he has left on myself, our entire organization and all of the people he worked with over the years will never be forgotten. 
 
Thank you, Mark, for all you have done and may you rest in peace, 
 
Scott A. Mayer
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
