“If I had 100 million in the bank I would do exactly what I’m doing (but on a bigger scale).“
Welcome Jonathan! What businesses do you operate?
Service Autopilot (CEO & Founder)
Software Company – Business Management System that Runs Field Service Companies ranging from lawn care to cleaning to plumbing.
CitiTurf (Founder) – I have a president that runs this company.
It is a Landscape Maintenance & Pest Control Company – We predominantly serve homeowners.
Why did you become a member of Maverick1000 and why are you a good fit for the group?
I joined Maverick 1000 to meet and get to know others who are making things happen. I want to spend more time around others who have significant ability. I have extremely successful friends but many are senior level in large companies. I have fewer entrepreneur and marketing capable friends. I look forward to networking while learning from other members. I also hope to share ideas with other members while gaining insight as to how I grow my businesses and abilities. I believe I am a good fit because I’ve been successful and I’m interested in contributing as much as receiving. I love business and marketing. If I had 100 million in the bank I would do exactly what I’m doing (but on a bigger scale). I’m passionate about everything business-wise that involves entrepreneurship.
I love travel and adventure. I’m one that will participate. In fact, because I work so much, Maverick will push me to travel / relax more. Currently, I take 3 (maybe 4) vacations per year.
Super Hero Skills?
Starting businesses – I can get them quickly to a place of sustainability. I am also a great teacher.
What top things would you like to gain / learn / do with other Mavericks, and what unique value do you bring to the group?
I hope to grow as a business owner and CEO. I also want to improve my ability to effectively build out our sales and marketing team – we have not successfully delegated marketing (PPC, SEO, content, etc) – looking to build a good team!
I am looking forward to developing relationships to the point I can pick up the phone and ask a fellow member ‘who knows / who has done it’ questions while providing the same service for others.

Why did you become a member of Maverick1000 and why are you a good fit for the group?
After I sold my last company, I traveled for two years looking for ways to be fulfilled while serving others. When I returned, I realized I wanted to create an organization that focused on “doing well” by doing good and impacted as many people as possible. We created a set of core values from day one that helped us stay focused on what mattered most. Some of those core values offer a continuous focus on growth and contribution: being the best in the world at what we do, and celebrating as often as possible. When I saw that Maverick 1000 was focused on creating more impact, more profits and having even more fun, I knew I had to get involved.

To me, everyone wins in a group of people that have the desire, the talent and belief that they can do just about anything.
