In 1973, a tornado blew the roof off of Woodson High School where JL was attending as a senior. That is when John Lewett decided to go off and start his own company. A few friends, some chainsaws, and a truck, JL set out to put his natural entrepreneur skills to work. Almost 50 years later, he is still active in his successful tree company that employs close to 100 people.
