Corey Schiller had barely turned 30 when he became chief executive of what was then a $130 million home-remodeling company.

Now Power Home Remodeling Group, of Chester, employs 1,350 and will report, Schiller said, $300 million in revenue for 2014.

Schiller, 32, a soccer-playing history major, was 21 when he and his best friend started at Power as junior salesmen right out of college. Two years later, Schiller earned a promotion to lead a marketing department of 40 people. He was 23 years old.

Question: How did that go?

Answer: There's never a good reason to have a closed mind and that, unfortunately, is a situation I stepped into. We had a lot of people that had been here for a really long time, that had never been held accountable, that had never been pushed, and the professional standard, in my opinion, was very low. That, in addition to being a young man, in addition to not having a lot of experience, meant that it was really hard.

Q: How did you earn respect?

A: I've done almost every job here at Power. And I realized along the way that the only way you can be an effective leader of someone - no matter what their position is - is you have to know their position and you have to be able to do it with excellence, so you can teach them how to do it with excellence.

Q: Some young execs strive to create an informal atmosphere - jeans, beer on Fridays.

With construction well underway on the exterior phase of the $47 million remodeling and expansion of The Eastern Iowa Airport passenger terminal, the Cedar Rapids Airport Commission on Friday received an update on the second phase of the project.

Matt Dubbe of Mead & Hunt in Minneapolis showed the commission architectural renderings of proposed changes for the lobby of the terminal. Dubbe stressed the addition of natural sunlight after skylights are added and exterior windows are reglazed.

A water feature in the west wall of the terminal was originally linked with an abstract blue pattern in the floor that represents the Cedar River. Dubbe showed the commissioners an updated version that uses an actual image of the Cedar River as it winds through Eastern Iowa.

The change, which will incorporate a spur for the Iowa River, was an immediate hit with the commission. Several commissioners suggested showing the various cities along the river, saying it could be an educational and tourism feature for children and adults.

The second phase of the terminal remodeling project will begin after the holiday travel season.

Following the commission meeting, a dedication plaque was unveiled for the remodeling project. It includes recognition for Tom Hobson, a commissioner who died on June 21 and was a strong proponent of terminal modernization.

The terminal modernization is the largest of several construction projects that will happen over the next five years. The commission on Friday approved an $890,000 bid by Eastern Iowa Excavating and Concrete of Cascade for the first phase of a five-year $10.7 pavement and parking lot improvement project.

Airport Director Tim Bradshaw said the airport is using federal and state grants as well as passenger facility charge revenue to pay for the projects, The airport is not incurring any debt and there will be no increase in fees paid by passengers or the airlines.

The Eastern Iowa Airport does not receive any city or county property tax revenue.
