Jonathan Bowser Named to central penn business journal’s power 100 list

Central Penn writes about Jonathan:

Bowser oversees the day-to-day activities of IDP Holdings, an investment and real estate development company, and newly formed Steel Works Construction, a construction management  rm of which he is president and CEO. He sets the vision and goals, and is responsible for executing annual revenues and budgets. “Becoming an entrepreneur is my biggest professional accomplishment,” Bowser said. “… As a business owner of a small company, you wear many hats … take on significant amount of risk and now have the worries of not only you and your family but also that of your employees and those who depend on you.  at is a very heavy burden that I do not take lightly and appreciate all of those around me to believe in what we are doing to take that risk with me.” The best lesson he’s learned, Bowser said, “is you get back the energy you put out. Some of my most valuable relationships date back from my younger days growing up or early in my career. … If you treat everyone with respect, honestly and with empathy, at somepoint that favor, and energy, will be returned.” In his spare time, he said, he loves to coach his kids. And travel. “I am a  rm believer that the best way to grow is to meet new people, read new books, and travel to new places.”
