    Mike Welper - Owner

    Mikey is a Wyoming “Cowboy” all the way from the top of his UW hat down to his cowboy boots! A Laramie Local since 2005, Mikey fell in love with “Laradise” and quickly planted his roots here. He married his beautiful wife Nancy in 2011 and added two more Cowpokes to his herd: a 5 year old boy Paul and 3 year old girl Lucy. Mikey truly understands the wants, needs, and goals of his fellow “Laramigos”, whether it’s about raising a family, running your own business, or buying & selling property.  His integrity revolves around providing the best service possible from one cowboy to another in every transaction, because that’s truly something he can hang his hat on.  

    Brian Welper - General Manager

    I am thrilled to be back with Tough Guys! My brother Mikey and I worked together while we were going to school at the University of Wyoming to start this business from the ground up. After graduating from the University of Wyoming, my life path took me away from this great place we call Laradise. Recently, my wife, my son, and I moved back to Laramie to plant our roots in the town we have always wanted to call our permanent home. My experience in multiple fields has allowed me to bring in fresh ideas and processes that will improve on the already great company we call Tough Guys.  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, cheering on the Pokes, fishing, camping, hiking, running – if it’s outside, we love to do it!  I look forward to working with everyone in the Laramie community!  Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.  

    Ridge Pischer- Landscape Manager

    Hello, my name is Ridge! I was born and raised here in Laramie. Working for Tough Guys has been great! Not only do I get to help people make their yards look great, but I also get to help the community of Laramie. In our free time, my fiancé and I enjoy the outdoors, camping, traveling, and spending time with our dogs. 

    Jordan Lee - Lawn Care Manager & Human Resources

    Hello! My name is Jordan Lee. I am from California, but I call Wyoming my home after living here for over 10 years. I enjoy playing sports, cards, and being with my family. I especially love football and baseball. I also enjoy tinkering with computers and technology, and think that since the world keeps improving, we should try to keep up with it. I was also able to learn a second language while living abroad. If I had to pick between mountains or ocean, I would pick Wyoming! It’s the best place to live.
