I love working outside and my dream has always been to study animals, plants, and trees. And now, I am achieving it... almost. I am saving money to go study in... the Amazon Forest! As a graduate student, my school has not only encouraged this trip, but is splitting the cost with me. And thank goodness, because saving $30,000 myself would be too hard. The school is going to help me with connections down there, with study supplies, and with their support. This is a huge project for me and without their help, it would not be possible. The one downside to this trip is having to leave my friend and business partner, Mel. But Mel is the best lawn care person alive and I know he will be fine. He supports me 100% and when I do leave, remember that he will do better than any other person or lawn care team out there. So hopefully by the end of this year, I'll be in the Amazon, swinging in the trees with monkeys and eating strange foods and living in a hut with Mother Nature!
