My name is Andrew Craft

I am currently the C.F.O. at Site Landscape Development in Lewisville, TX. (DFW)

I love connecting with other Aspire users and tackling challenging problems. 

I have 3 kids, I like gardening, Excel, robots, golf, API’s, automation, landscape and am a big Napoleon Dynamite fan.. 😂

Interesting fact about me: I have the highest (self) rated episode on Justin and Maggie’s podcast. 

Slightly unrelated, but My mom lives in Preston, ID where Napolean Dynamite was filmed. Its a fun town

Better today than yesterday, better tomorrow than today.

    💭 I am hopeful to connect with other cleaning industry professionals to learn best practices and streamline processes and systems in place. I would love to learn more about how companies are compensating employees for use of the Aspire App, learn how you have your service naming conventions, the different types of estimates, factors, schedule approach, etc. Also, how has the implementation been for those in the Commercial Cleaning Industry, it has been a bit challenging for us and interested in hearing your thoughts.

    Look forward to learning from other industry experts and help as I can as well.

        Hi, my name is Amy.  I’m with GPM Landscape in Phoenix, AZ.  I’m the Super User in the system, but I also do the invoicing.  I’m hoping to connect with people that are having the same struggles as me and to swap solutions.  I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Honduras and loved every minute!

          Hi Everyone!

           I am Anni from Greenworks Partners in Key West.  I am the Administrator currently working out of Charlotte, NC 

          I do invoicing, scheduling, purchase receipts, issues, maintenance contracts, well...a little bit of everything I guess.   Currently trying to understand EOM and making sure the catalog of items stays organized. 

          We are new to Aspire. I am still learning. I am excited to join this community resource. Fun fact: one of my bucket list items was to sing in a hippie rock band. So at the age of 46- I did just that and wrote and recorded 4 original songs that are out on iTunes/Spotify, etc. 

             Thanks so much! ✌🏼

                          💭There is just so much to learn and so little time to actually get in to the meat of the program. I find the search function in Aspire to be fruitless and confusing. I am hoping that my multitudes of questions I continuously submit, will be able to be answered by all of you and your experience with Aspire.  Team effort!!

                                            Welcome Caren, I look forward to learning how we can both work together down the line! I may be new in the arena, but I have been a Coordinator for the past 20 years. So, maybe our paths may cross moving forward. Take care!
