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.
