Charlie Thomson.

Charlie Thomson is a freshman at GCC where he will spend his winters getting an education. but in the summer, he runs a lawn empire that trumps your average teen lawn business by far. what makes him an entrepreneur is his strive to grow his business in more ways than one. he has trucks, mowers, leaf blowers. and he’s still expanding. he has created an LLC and keeps growing his business even whilst at college. his business model is interesting because he is a one man stop. Most lawn businesses of that size would run 1-10 employees, not Charlie, he manages and works within his company all by himself. some of the entrepreneurial traits he has are, innovation and a good mindset to keep growing. he’s innovating by using AI to create flyers and other graphics for his business. Charlie inspires me to get my hands dirty and start something that can make a lasting impact on me and other people.

    I think it is really inspiring to see fellow students being innovative and creating opportunities for themselves. It is really impressive that he is able to do all of that by himself and I’m sure that he can apply some of the things he learns here at Grove City to his business. I bet he can use AI in even more ways to help optimize his business.
