Construction Industry Veteran Mike Elliott Set to Retire in Dec.
After 49 years in the foundation construction industry, Mike Elliott has announced his decision to retire.
Elliott started his construction career with Mississippi Valley Equipment in 1972. In 1987, he team up with partners Mark Rutland and Dick Nelson to buy out MVE’s Florida operations and established Pile Equipment Inc. When Nelson passed away in 1997, Elliott was named president of PEI.
Elliotts’s skills, knowledge and reputation in the foundation industry grew over the years, and the company flourished.
When Elliott and Rutland began looking for a succession plan for their business in 2014, ECA stepped in, and the companies merged in 2015. Elliott was immediately named vice president of ECA and branch manager of ECA Jacksonville.
“Mike has been a big factor in our expansion into the southeast, as well as a valued leader and mentor to many,” said Roy Kern Jr., ECA president/CEO.
Elliott’s retirement is effective Dec. 31, 2021, however he will remain on as a consultant.

After 14 years in sales, Mickelson with his wife, Nancy (Scott), current vice president, purchased the business in 1993. Their son, Scott, joined the sales department in 2011, and daughter, Katie (Mickelson) Murphy joined the company in in the marketing department and is now manager of operations.
“The growth of RB Scott over the years can be attributed to one thing,” said Mickelson. “Our employees — they are great people, knowledgeable and customer orientated. It is like they are family and we are all working together. That is what drives a family run business like ours, if you have the right people that care it really shows. Our employees represent RB Scott every day and they make us very proud. We look forward to continuing our relationships with our customers here in Minnesota and look forward to all of the new customers we are going to meet.”
