Abby’s favorite part of being a Customer Service Representative is building relationships with our customers. She has a diverse taste in music with Incubus, Bon Iver, and Megan Thee Stallion being among the favorites. She also has an adventurous side with a desire to swim with the sharks one day.  

Brad loves working with people, making him the perfect person to lead our sales team. He knows the best places to eat in every town, especially Mexican food. Thailand is the travel destination on Brad’s bucket list; the best vacation he has taken so far is to New Orleans, thanks to the food, the people, the culture, the history, and the haunted-ness.

Chris enjoys making grass look healthy all season long! He is a big football fan, having played on the offensive line for Hoffman Estates HS and he loves the Chicago Bears. Chris is also a huge fan of hard rock and metal, especially Metallica.

Eric appreciates the challenge of accurately measuring customer properties. When not at work, he is either playing music or baking. He’s also one of the “Lord of the Rings” fans in our office, quoting Gandalf: “… All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”

As Service Manager, Gary’s favorite part of the job is interacting with the technicians. He is a diehard San Francisco 49ers fan, with one of his prized possessions being a football signed by Joe Montana. Gary says his best vacation was a family trip to Disney, seeing the wonder and excitement in his kids. Someday he would love to go skydiving.

Humberto likes that every day on the job is different and brings a challenge to adapt to changes. Outside of work he enjoys making memories with his family, and he hopes to one day go see the Mayan pyramids in Mexico.

John relishes the peace and quiet that the outdoors has to offer. He likes going up to the Wisconsin Dells and would like to someday buy a big piece of land in the middle of nowhere. John is also a “Star Wars” fan. One of his prized possessions is his Michael Jordan card collection.

Matt’s favorite vacation was a childhood trip to the Wisconsin Dells at a hotel with a huge game room, and he still enjoys gaming. If he had to eat the same meal every day for the rest of his life, you’d find him at Wendy’s for a “Baconator” and fries. Matt wanted to be a millionaire when he was growing up, and if he ever does win the lottery the first thing he would buy is a RAM TRX truck.

Matt is a Certified Lawn Care Technician and an ISA Certified Arborist and loves having a job where he can be outdoors. He is also a big baseball fan. Matt’s favorite movie is a Chicago classic – “The Blues Brothers”.

Mr. Quackers spends his days mowing and fertilizing the shop lawn. His favorite band is Lynyrd Skynyrd. He enjoys a romantic lettuce dinner and a quick soak in the tub with his girlfriend, Firequacker.

Petro got into lawn care for the satisfaction of seeing the results of his hard work. He originally wanted to be a doctor, but through gardening he discovered a passion for agronomy. Petro’s favorite food is pizza, but Rocky Mountain Oysters are the weirdest thing he was brave enough to eat!
