    This exciting role allows me to share my 40 plus years of success in the snow and landscape industries with other contractors around the country. Over the years, I have learned so much from other contractors as well as "trial and error". Now this is my chance to help others avoid the pain of learning things the hard way so they can successfully grown their businesses in a manner they are comfortable with and help ensure they are profitable.
