Hi many of you know me, Joel. I'm the owner of Stearmans tree service. Some of you don't so I would like to introduce myself. My name is Joel, I'm a veteran of the U.S.
Army and I served in Iraq and Afghanistan. My father started this company back in the early 90s but stopped doing tree work in the early 2000s. After coming back from service to our country I restarted our company and have enjoyed helping people from my home town every step of the way (preble county). After getting out of the service I struggled with ptsd and some other issues but through hard work and help from the VA I'm currently the best version of myself that I've ever been. Last year I completed several ptsd programs and honestly I feel like I've been given my life back. In my lowest times I always had two things to count on. 1 I could always find peace when my chainsaw is running and 2 God has never let me down. This company means the world to me and gave me a sense of purpose that I desperately needed in my worst of times. I said all that to say this. THANK YOU so much to everyone who has given us a chance. It has been an honor to serve yall and build something worth leaving behind for my children one day. We have many years of hard work to accomplish before that happens but I always want to show gratitude to the people who make this possible and that's YOU our loyal customers. This concludes my ted talk and I hope everyone This reaches has a wonderful day and weekend. God bless
