During his studies, he went abroad to Denmark and Italy for his graduate research project.

Mardy has always retained strong ties with the community, involving himself in many volunteer activities in his hometown, including Community Main Street, Cedar Falls Historical Society, Rotary Club (president 2009-2010), Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Cedar Falls Planning & Zoning Commission from 1999 to present, as well as extending himself to the broader community through membership on the Board of Directors for the Snowden House Historical Home in Waterloo and the Greater Black Hawk County Habitat for Humanity.
