How long have you been in the family business?

 

[MNFlorist]

Well, I was born just before mothers day, so mom claims that I'm the only excuse she ever had that got her out of working mother's day week. When she returned to work, I was in a playpen in the corner of the design room. I grew up terrorizing the wild cats that had infiltrated the greenhouses and riding the planter out in the fields (we used to grow wholesale, as well) I started working for my grandpa when I was 10 or eleven, then for my dad when I was 12. So I've working in the business for 20 years in some fashion, but I graduated from college in 2001 and came on full-time at that point.
