I’ve never been big on celebrating my birthday.
But 40 feels like a milestone worth acknowledging.
I grew up around this industry. I learned from family from the time I was a kid, and much of the foundation I still rely on today came from those years.
But I started Florida Environmental itself started from the ground up.
I had about $3,000 in my pocket, maxed out credit cards buying small equipment, and financed my first stander that I bought from my uncle’s equipment store in Tallahassee. What started on faith, now Continues, pushing forward through consistency. Consistency in showing up, consistency in putting in the work, consistency in faith and determination.
That was the beginning.
Ten years later, we’re building substantial projects, solving complex problems and bringing complete design-build projects from an idea on paper to something real in the landscape.
We’ve completed millions of dollars in projects along the way, but becoming one of the biggest companies has never been the goal.
I’d rather build something known for quality, creativity and work that lasts.
Design. Transform. Sustain.
Create spaces with purpose. Build them properly. Respect the environment around them. And leave behind something that will still make sense years from now.
I’m thankful for my family and friends, for everyone who has worked alongside me, and especially for the clients who have trusted myself and my team with their properties, ideas and investments over the last decade.
And I’m thankful for Florida — the place I work, live and play, and the canvas for so much of what we’ve created.
A lot has happened in 40 years.
A lot has been built in the last 10.
I’m proud of where we are, but much more interested in where we go from here.
Here’s to the next 40.
Built from the Ground Up.
