For George Allen, hard work is a cornerstone of success — that’s what helped him build Desert Septic of Casa Grande, Arizona, into a multi-service contracting business. However, a “widowmaker” heart attack in 2023 has helped him place greater focus on his health, which is more important than any business.
The Casa Grande, Arizona-based business’s wide range of services, including septic system design, installation, repairs, inspection and pumping, started out as a side operation while Allen was working in another industry. After leaving his job as a corrections officer in 2005, Allen started a new job as a cement truck driver.
