🌳 BNI FEATURED SPEAKER — Colton McEvoy
Thursday, September 3 at 8:00 a.m.
What happens when two 13-year-old boys get caught causing a little neighborhood mischief?
Apparently… you build a business. 😂
At age 13, Colton McEvoy and a close friend got themselves into some ding-dong-ditch trouble. Colton’s dad decided the appropriate punishment was to “donate” their labor to a local lawn guy—for an entire week, with no pay.
But something unexpected happened.
They worked so hard that at the end of the week, the owner offered them jobs for split pay for 10-hour days.
And Colton loved it.
By 16, he already knew he wanted a business of his own. His parents helped establish an LLC, A Cut Above, which he went on to operate for 15 years before selling it and turning his focus fully toward "Total Tree and Land Solutions, LLC."
Today, Colton is still doing what that 13-year-old kid discovered he loved—working hard, working outdoors, and helping people.
And somehow, that isn't enough service for one person. 😊 Colton is also a full-time firefighter, where he gets to make an even greater difference for people in his community when they need someone most.
When he actually finds some spare time, you'll likely find him with his cat and dog or exploring the mountains, lakes and rivers with his girlfriend, Jordan.

Never underestimate what can come from a really good punishment. 😂
