Her attention to detail of the SERVPRO work attire not only assists employees to ‘dress the part’ but keeps the team seasonally fitting and coordinated.

Madison Engelke - Marketing Support Coordinator
Madison Engelke joined the SERVPRO team as the Marketing Support Coordinator in June 2021, days before the office moved into its new location, quadrupling the size of the workplace. Her enthusiasm and gratefulness were not lost in the vast space & busyness but added a fun component to it all!
From Storm Lake, Iowa, this UNI graduate sought out & took advantage of opportunities in marketing while in college, to give her a great base to go with her Business Marketing: Digital Media & Advertising degree. She is Google Ad & Excel certified and enjoys sharing information and advice through writing. She was a member and held leadership roles in the oldest, still running student organization on the UNI campus, Orchesis Dance Company.

Providing solutions through storytelling, she easily sells her SERVPRO team’s skills for cleanup and restoration. She enjoys living up to her nickname "Smile Supplier" by connecting individuals to resources they need in ANY sort of circumstance.
Debbie loves to make a mess in the kitchen (cooking) and digging in the dirt (gardening) along with entertaining family and friends with the free time she pulls aside.
Derise Luna- Job File Coordinator
Cool, calm and quick to bring stability to a chaotic situation; SERVPRO’s job file coordinator, Derise, fills this need effectively! She’s often the first person to answer the call for help, literally! Listening, sorting out, and connecting the needed assistance puts a smile on her face.
Derise brings a lifetime of experience in the many facets of owning a business, from her family’s entrepreneurship. Seeing a need and filling it, comes second nature.
Surrounded by her large family, involved in kids’ activities, and spending time in nature is first on her list of importance outside of SERVPRO…making it special by adding a great cup of coffee completes the joy-filled experience!
Amanda Tomlinson - Job File Coordinator
The first step to any project begins with a phone call to our central office. Amanda Tomlinson is the face on the other end of the line who will keep you calm, cool, and collected while we get all the necessary details to get you back to “like it never even happened.” Amanda started in October of 2022 and has been a great asset to our team. She graduated from Hawkeye Community College and obtained Executive Assistant AAS & Legal Office AAS. When she is not busy coordinating jobs and being attentive to customers, you can find her spending time with her three children, supporting her nieces and nephews at their events, or cuddling her cat, Rosie! Amanda enjoys doing a lot of projects around her home which makes her the perfect addition to SERVPRO since restoring homes is a passion of ours. Customer service is where Amanda thrives and she enjoys that part of her role. One of her favorite parts about this position is “When you can hear laughter throughout the day, that’s where I need to be. Everyone takes their job seriously and does whatever they need to do to take care of the crisis/problem our customer is dealing with, but also know how to be fun and not take life so seriously.”

Say Hi to Ben! He has been a part of our team since 2020. Looking for more hands-on work, as a production technician at SERVPRO, that’s exactly what he got. He dove right in, anxious to absorb the restoration business. His past experience working with seniors gives him patience, empathy, and understanding when dealing with tough situations in a water or fire loss.
Ben has applied his skills to his personal home improvement projects, and is excited to work in SERVPRO’s construction division, as well. He is appreciative to his co-workers for welcoming him on board and empowering him to lead projects.

Her personable customer service skills round out the valued requirements. She joined the team in 2020, primarily assisting in the carpet and upholstery cleaning division. She has shown her worth in much more physical SERVPRO tasks, by quickly learning the restoration field. Her comical personality is welcomed by teammates, as she loves to make people laugh. She lists outdoor activities that include fishing and being with her dog Zeplin, (as well as listening to such music), as her way to unwind. Nelli cherishes family time and recognizes the importance of being together. Joining her brother Ben on the SERVPRO team has made it truly a family affair.
Kelly Elanzo - Restoration Technician
Kelly Elanzo has been apart of the SERVPRO team since 2020. Kelly was born and raised in the Marshall Islands, an island country in the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and the Philippines. With hopes of a better future for his family, Kelly moved to the states looking for work. His siblings, wife, and children are his passion and inspire him to work hard daily.
Kelly has a quiet demeanor but is very focused and motivated. When he was a teenager, he learned some construction from his father, and now uses this skill to assist in restoration. He enjoys working with the SERVPRO family and is grateful for the consistent hours.
Something many people don’t know about Kelly is that HE IS CRAFTY. On his island, he used to hand carve coconuts into sculptures! He also made pendants out of the coconut shell. :)
Jacob Foss - Restoration Technician
Jacob Foss, known by many of his friends and family as just “Foss” joined our SERVPRO team in October of 2022. Growing up, he was big into sports, basketball, and baseball in particular. Today he still carries out his love of sports by playing recreationally, as he enjoys the team effort, strategy, and competitiveness of it. Jacob is a huge fan of the 20-piece McNugget from McDonalds and has that meal on repeat, however, when it comes to dipping sauces, he likes to dabble in them all. Despite his love for a convenient, delicious fast meal, he also makes a mean tuna sandwich!
When he gets home from a hard day’s work, he spends time at the gym and playing video games. In the future, he would love to travel the world. One of his top destinations is Egypt due to its rich history and his fascination with the Pyramids.
Jacob has a background in customer service, as he worked retail for some time before coming to SERVPRO. He feels that this experience has instilled qualities in him that make him a good listener when it comes to direction and following through on job duties. He values trust between coworkers, and his favorite part about coming to work is that the atmosphere and the people make it easy to come in every day!

Pam Doudney - Cleaning Technician
Pam Doudney’s caring personality fit right in when she joined our SERVPRO Cleaning Team in 2021. Although her favorite holiday is Halloween, there’s nothing scary about Pam’s skills as a cleaning technician! Her previous janitorial experience, coupled with management level leadership at a convenience store, has us grinning like a jack o lantern!
Pam enjoys the structure of SERVPRO along with the personal acclamation she receives from a job well done. Working among great co-workers, furthering her knowledge in cleaning, especially items that were in a fire, has been eye opening and satisfying. No tricks, just treats, when Pam is bringing an item back to life, "Like it never even happened."
Fishing is a family affair, including her young granddaughter, and older brother. She looks forward to time on the lake with her fiancé.
Chuck Frost - Warehouse & Equipment Coordinator
Chuck Frost has checked off many of SERVPRO of Black Hawk County’s ‘to do’ list items since joining our team in November 2018. As Warehouse and Equipment Coordinator, he has organized and labeled the essential equipment that our production technicians use day in and day out.
He supports the team by helping pack trucks, enabling them to get to our customers quicker. Tracking inventory, keeping equipment repaired and assisting our carpet cleaning specialist and demo crew, is what fills Chuck’s part-time position.
Outside of work, Chuck hunts & fishes and enjoys time with his wife Pam at their lake home. Family time with 2 daughters and son in law and his two granddaughter’s activities, including dance, is a high priority for him. He spends countless hours at his church in the kitchen planning, preparing and serving a variety of meals for families and ministry events. To round it all out, Chuck has volunteered on the Sturgis Falls Celebration planning committee since 2006.
