A Cut n’ Edge originated in Lizton, Indiana, 1982. My father started the lawn care business to make additional income. After a few years into the business, he realized there was more to his lawn care company than “just a little extra income”. My father began to have big dreams for the future of A Cut n’ Edge. He started to expand his company, offering additional services such as lawn fertilization, weed control, landscaping and snow removal. As the business was growing older, unfortunately, so was my father. In 1993, he decided it was time to pass the business on to his family. My older brother was the first to try his hand at the family business. He kept the family tradition going for a few years but soon decided that mowing and landscape didn’t interest him like he had hoped. Knowing that my brother wanted to seek other career opportunities, I approached him with an offer for A Cut n’ Edge that he couldn’t refuse. The year 1999 was the year I finally had the chance to see what I could do with the family business. In the beginning, I thankfully had a great deal of help from my brothers. They helped me secure a brand new chapter for my company.

     Since taking over the family business, I have continued to provide all of the original services my father did, as well as implement new ones as the industry advances. We have secured contracts that we never thought were attainable. I believe that a large part of our company success comes from the honesty, quality and professionalism that we instill into the business everyday. Every customer is treated with the utmost respect and appreciation. Today, we have ongoing contracts with customers that my father acquired in his first year. We owe a lot to those customers. They took a chance, choosing A Cut n’ Edge in 1982, and have never questioned our services since. With the green industry being such a competitive market, we are constantly seeking new and innovative ways to outperform our competitors and make our clients happy. I take a great deal of pride in the quality of our work and I could not be more proud of all that we have accomplished. I see a bright future for A Cut n’ Edge. I continue to set new goals for myself and the company and I intend on reaching them all. I believe that with a great set of family values and perseverance, anybody can find success.

     Currently, I am living a fast-paced life. I am managing a company and raising a family of six. In the future, I hope to do what my father did and pass down the family business to my own children. I am optimistic that they will take the same attitude I did and continue the family tradition for years to come.
