In 1984, Randy Nielson joined Acme Tuckpointing and Restoration full time to assist in the renovation of St. Anthony Main with M.A. Mortenson and assumed sole ownership of the company in 1986.  Randy had previously worked in manufacturing accounting at National Computer Systems in Edina, MN and developed similar financial accountability processes at Acme to improve both efficiency and profitability.  He fervently shared his father’s principle of doing right by the customer and insuring their ultimate satisfaction when the job was completed.

In 2005, Randy and Brian Norelius agreed to work together wherein Brian was given the opportunity to learn and work in the masonry restoration field and to ultimately provide an exit strategy for Randy as he reached retirement age.  Brian’s loyalty and sincerity were key factors in the hiring decision……along with the expectation that Brian would successfully lead the company in the future.  These expectations have certainly been fulfilled as can be seen by the numerous projects that have been completed during Brian’s tenure at Acme.
