Intro From Augusta, Ga

I have lived in Augusta, Ga all of my life - 39 years. Married for 12 years this coming October. amber and I have 2 boys - Cayden (8), Jaxon (5 in July). my wife is also a business owner and owns a bakery, “sinless sweets”.

My partner (Jeremy Owen’s) and I own 4 Augusta Lawn Care Locations. Our partnership dynamic is pretty sweet - Jeremy is operations and I am Sales/vision. I most likely would have sold my business for the value of my equipment back in 2018 had he not answered a Facebook job ad.

Our mission is “mow money, mow dreams”. We aim to offer the most amount of $$ mowing grass to our field team, and while we are at it, give direction and assistance toward our team member’s next steps. Whether those steps are with us or not, we want to do what we can to assist in their move up in life.

We have promoted 4 field team members to General manager. I know that part of the reason God put me on this earth is to help coach others toward success.

Our next 3 years is focused on building our current region, which will be 6-7 locations. I am stoked to be able to promote my partner from GM to regional Manager. After that, we will continue building as many locations/ regions as the good Lord sees fit.

Our 4 locations have 16 field team members, 4 GM’s, and 2 office staff. We will do right at $3M this year and finished last year at $2.45M.

My biggest struggle currently is bridging the skills gap of becoming the Regional Manager and leader that I would want to hire and that my team needs. This is my first year of not doing sales and focusing on managing managers.

The biggest struggle in the business is solving Q4 collapse. This would completely change how much distributable cash we would be able to share to our GM’s + owners.
