Life as an entrepreneur comes naturally for me. Growing up with a family of small business owners, I’ve always thought of business as farming – but in the city. Starting at the age of 10, I found myself out working every night after school with my dad in the buildings that he cleaned for his janitorial company.

Today, mowing, cleaning, and residential living have been our focus together as a family. Here’s our story.
