I’ve been asked recently by a few people, quite understandably, why I started a new company: Haven Environmental. The conversations usually go down the same path, ending with a “you’re how old?” or “can you make a living at that?” At which point, my answer is always the same: 56, and maybe. The real answer is I see some opportunity. I’m not reinventing the wheel, or trying to challenge the industry models, just see the need.
Before I go into anything else, I want to give credit to my wife of 32 years (don’t know what is wrong with her), for naming the new company. You have to have a good name, and all my ideas were stupid. She came up with Haven Environmental.
