After 16 years in fire service, Bobby Sowell knows a thing or two about consistency, discipline, and showing up for people. Now, alongside his career with Glynn County Fire Department, he’s building Sowell’s Lawn Solutions - a growing lawn care business rooted in reliability, family values, and the same work ethic that’s carried him through two decades of frontline work. From late-night ER patient drop-offs years ago to watching him build something of his own today, this week’s Entrepreneur Crush is a story about longevity, purpose, and the people who never seem to stop moving.
