Blake Church - Owner of Church's Lawn Care, Landworks, and Snow Removal
"Don't let anyone ever tell you that you can't do something."
• From borrowing his dad's lawnmower as teen - to now having a whole fleet of mowers, tractors, and trucks.
• From his first payment being a soda, snack, and $12- to now sending invoices to major companies like Walmart and Walgreens.
This truly is a story of achieving the American dream. This level of accomplishment never comes without determination and a strong work ethic.

Blake told students about his career path and gave them words of wisdom to take as they head into this next season. He's a great person to take advice from considering the challenges he's overcome and what he has been able to achieve.

Blake said when growing up his dad was his biggest mentor.
He also gives a lot of praise to his wife, Theresa Church, who is the center of his most treasured entity - their family.

He gave each student the same payment he received for his first mowing job and told them all do go out and spread kindness with it.
"He was very cool to talk to and hear about how his business all started out. With the 12 dollars he gave me I bought a bouquet of roses and handed them out to people at the Fairview mall." - CEO Student
