Here are some excerpts from the article:

“Fred Marshall Painting is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, celebrating a legacy built on craftsmanship, dedication and community, according to its leaders. Founded by Fred Marshall in June 1974, the company has grown from a solo gig to a sought-after name in residential and commercial painting throughout Utah.”

“At age 20, Fred Marshall moved to Utah in the fall of 1972 with dreams of skiing. He joined the ski patrol at Park West (now part of Park City Mountain) in 1974. After balancing skis in winter with brushes during the summer, he decided to pursue painting full time in 1985.”

“The first brushstrokes of Marshall career were laid at the home of Bernice and Betty Watts in Park City. Their home is now the location of High West Saloon. His second job was painting the house of Tillie Bosman, a local icon, after she saw him walk down the dirt streets with paint on his clothes.”

“Over the years, Fred Marshall Painting has achieved numerous milestones. Its growth was organic, driven by word-of-mouth recommendations and consistently high-quality work. The small operation that began with Marshall’s solo efforts has evolved into a business known for customer service and attention to detail.”
