I tell stories!
I tell a lot of stories. Maybe too many. One time my wife Jeanne told me to "Write these things down!" Maybe she was encouraging me, maybe she was tired of hear them. I'll never know for sure. But I started doing just that.
Why would you read this?
Now, why would anyone want to read stories of my childhood? That was my question, for sure. But as I wrote these stories and shared them with other people, they really seemed to like them. Then, I started writing a column for a local paper, and quite a few people told me how much they liked these stories. While most of my columns were NOT from this book, some were. And people appreciated them. So here they are.
Who is this for?
II'm nobody famous, but many of you "of a certain age" will relate to these. Because similar things probably happened to you.

A real-world roadmap—built from experience
This isn’t a theory. It’s lessons learned the hard way, simplified so you can start stronger and progress faster.
A “do-it-right” approach that customers notice
Most people don’t obsess over lawns—but they do notice when a lawn looks great. This book shows you the small details that make big differences: cleaner edges, straighter lines, better trimming, and the kind of finish that gets compliments.
Guidance for beginners (and “I can figure it out” types)
Yes, you can start without a book. But this helps you skip years of trial-and-error and avoid the common mistakes that new mowers make.
Confidence to charge for quality
When your work looks better than the average cut, you stop competing on price and start building a reputation. This book helps you build that kind of service mindset from day one.
