Joseph Malakowsky is a young resident of Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. He is a Trainer and Sanitation technician at a Pet Food plant where he met Rodney. He comes from a family of hunters and farmers and, as such, has a passion for Conservation. His ancestors left a Waterfowl Production area to aid the conservation effort, and he hopes to follow in their footsteps.
Joseph is very adept at quickly understanding new concepts and entrepreneurial business. A kind way to say he is brilliant.
Joseph will lead the technology side of understanding what LongView needs. https://goo.gl/maps/DvAR5ZGtw1G42gcg7

Meet the Founders
Rodney Arlo Osvold (left)
Rodney A Osvold is retiring to dedicate his Golden Years to LongView. Rodney grew up on a farm near Brainerd, Minnesota. Before the age of 16, he contracted with the local railroad to supply 200 oak railroad ties. This required a little logging and sawmill work on his part, starting his love for old-growth trees. He has family today in the logging business.
After spending a lifetime in the food business, manufacturing, and being an Entrepreneur, it is time to launch LongView. Rodney founded the National Fish Decoy Association and “The Gathering, World’s Largest Fish Decoy Show” each April in Perham, Minnesota.
