Hello, I work for Jon Wanzek. I see that the tag on the page asks for some clean up to comply with Wikipedia standards, so I have some suggestions for the page:
To improve neutrality and remove excessive detail, please combine the Early career and Business enterprises sections into one section entitled Business career. It can read as follows:
- Wanzek received a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis in 1986. He became a project engineer at Wanzek Construction, Inc, eventually becoming president and CEO of the family business.[1] After the sale of Wanzek Construction, Inc. to MasTec in 2008,[2][3] he has been involved in real estate and ranching.[4][5]
Additionally, I'd like to replace some poorly sourced content from the Philanthropy section with information from stronger sources. The amended section should read as follows:
- Since 2009, Wanzek, through the Wanzek Family Foundation, has supported many charities. Some of the organizations he has supported include the Mayo Clinic,[6] Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation,[7] St. James Basilica,[8] and Boy Scouts of America.[9]

Jon L. Wanzek → Jon Wanzek – There is no one else on Wikipedia named Jon Wanzek so his middle initial is not needed as a disambiguator. Naming the page Jon Wanzek would help it align with how he is generally referred to, as seen in the following articles: 1915Case65 (talk) 16:28, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
