Greetings from the great white north. I'm Alex from East Surrey. I am happily Married with 4 boys, aged 12, 10, 8, & 18 months. Our house is pure chaos and beyond busy with 3 boys playing competitive hockey, and Lacrosse year round. The 1st 20+ years of my professional life were spent building a lucrative career in heavy construction. I hold 2 Red Seal trades tickets in Carpentry & Pile Driving, I am a gold seal superintendent, and one semester short of a bachelors degree in Construction management. I operated my own company from 2016-2023 where I often managed revenue around $1m per year building highway bridges and industrial foundations. In 2023 I was on track for the best year yet having completed over $900k in the first 6 months of the year. In June of that year my Father was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer and I wasn't able to push off going to see him any longer with the excuse that work had to happen. Without my presence my business collapsed and we lost our best client. I knew that I needed to figure something better out if I was going to maintain a better relationship with my kids than I had with my own Dad. One late night I came across Mikes content on Youtube and I was hooked. Mike talked about all the things i struggled with in all my experience as an owner operator. I knew a recurring model was the best move for me and Augusta would be the quickest way to adapt. I joined Augusta in January of Last year with no previous lawn and landscape maintenance experience. After connecting with all the other Augusta operators in my area I began helping my neighbour Bryon Hall (Langley). After a few months we figured out that our personalities were complimentary and we agreed on a deal for me to acquire 51% of Langley. We then started Maple Ridge in December of 2025. Its been a wild ride this spring learning the ins and outs of Lawn Care and a service based business. We just cracked $100k/mth in revenue across the 3 locations and that has left me feeling super excited and hungry for what is possible in this industry.

I have been blessed with having a workout program and tracking my nutrients engrained as a habit from an early age. I have been working out and tracking since I was 15. These habits have served me well and lifting is what first gave me confidence as a teenager. I can definitely tell the difference in my ability to handle stress if I have been inconsistent with my workouts. What did I learn from the video: 1.) there are 24” from my mouth to the table. 2.) I have been on “maintenance” level activity for about 3 years and only weight training 3 days a week. Listening to the video reminded me that just because I do not care to gain any more muscle, the hard activity is still important and will most definitely have a positive impact on my week. I am excited to be challenged to add daily hard workouts and see the difference.
