09.2021 - Current
- I started Clean and Green Lawn Care when co-owner, Carson Dingler, got his driver's license. We started from scratch with a push mower, one weed-eater, and a hand held blower because that was all we had. We had a couple clients within our neighborhood to make enough money to buy business cards. The business cards came in and we knocked door to door everyday we were not mowing. By the end of our first summer, we had 15 yards consistently and kept growing. After our first summer, we invested in a zero-turn mower that we got for $400 that needed to be fixed up a little, and a second weed-eater. We expanded our services by adding limb trimming, hedge trimming, Christmas lights, leaf mulching, and flower beds. When our second summer came around we had picked up some more clients from the fall and got to work. We invested in a 24 foot enclosed trailer along with a seconder zero turn mower, and a backpack blower. By the end of this summer, we more than doubled in steady clients. This past summer we ran across some new experiences that we could only learn from. We have kept our steady clients and hired some good employees to help. So far, owning this business has taught me to learn from my mistakes, manage money, and keep clients happy.

04.2020 - 08.2020
- At Creekside Sports Bait and Tackle, I was a stocker and cashier. I sold and bagged live bait for customers, along with hunting and fishing license. I also kept the ice freezer stocked full and put together new feeders to put on display. I worked here to save up money to start a lawn care business before I was able to drive. I worked during the summer only because I started school and sports. Since I could not drive, my mom could not take me to work and back once school started.

About Me
- I have grown up in the outdoors hunting, fishing, and playing sports. I dove hunt, duck hunt, deer hunt, and hog hunt ever year. Occasionaly I will goose hunt and pheasant hunt when I get the oppurtunity to. I am on the fishing team so I fish very often. I am very skilled and knowledgable in both areas of the outdoors but hunting is my favorite with fishing a very close second. I have played baseball, football, and basketball my whole life but baseball and football are the only sports I have stuck with through senior year. I have a 3.56 gpa going into senior graduation and planning to attend TJC for the next two years to major in finance and minor in business.
