Success Stories
Jerome Rhyant, Tree Trimmers USA
In the realm of entrepreneurship, few stories encapsulate the spirit of dedication and vision as remarkably as Jerome Rhyant's journey with Tree Trimmers USA, LLC. Established in 2017, this enterprise has expanded into a powerhouse on the Treasure Coast, specializing in tree trimming, stump grinding, mulching, and more, all under Rhyant's steadfast leadership.
Rob Olin, Spring Creek Florida
Rob Olin, an oyster rancher and the founder of Estuary Oysters, says he never imagined that running a small business could be filled with so many hurdles.
With the help of the SBDC, who Rob calls his “coach,” Estuary Oysters is working to save the coast by replenishing the keystone oyster population.
Johnny Crowder, Cope Notes
Although Crowder had such a passion for the vision of his business, he knew he needed assistance getting it started. Eventually, he found the Florida SBDC at University of South Florida. “When I first started the company, I had no idea what I was doing,” he said. “I was looking for local resources for small businesses owners and I found a link to the Florida SBDC at USF. I clicked around, filled out a form, came in to meet with somebody, and they helped me with just about everything.”
