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.

Cody loves the ability to enjoy the outdoors while at work. Between his favorite vacation – a trip to Key West for deep sea fishing – and being an athlete, most of his time is spent outdoors. One day he hopes to take a trip to Europe and also buy a house for his mother.

Dan spends as much time outside as possible. One of his favorite destinations is Pensacola, Florida, to visit friends and do some offshore fishing. He also hopes to visit the Great Barrier Reef before all the coral is bleached. Back at home, Dan enjoys a diverse set of movies and music from “Mean Girls” to “The Blues Brothers” to The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

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.”

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.

Jeremy loves helping people understand more about their lawns and how to make them beautiful! When he’s not out making your lawn look fantastic, you can probably catch him fireside having a jam session with friends. One day he plans to even make it out to the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre to enjoy a live show there.

Jessica says her fellow coworkers make the job fun. She enjoys spending time with her family and her dog, and working out. Her favorite movie quote is from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

It makes Kristi’s day to hear the gratitude in a customer’s voice when we’ve turned their lawn from struggling to beautiful. She’s the first to turn on music in the office, and her favorite album is “Siamese Dream” by Smashing Pumpkins

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.

Nathan enjoys being outside anytime he can. No wonder he is drawn to a career in lawn care! When he’s not out making your lawn beautiful he is also an avid musician, playing drums in a band with friends, and would love nothing more than to play a show at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in Tinley Park.

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!
