Alex Spicer, an accomplished entrepreneur, has triumphed in the competitive New York business environment and the challenging landscaping industry. In just three years, he has transformed Spicer Inc into a thriving seven-figure company, serving hundreds of clients and overseeing a dedicated team of over a dozen employees. Alex embodies the epitome of the classic American dream. However, his path to success was not without obstacles and challenges.

Spicer had a modest upbringing and knew from an early age that he wanted to achieve greatness. During his high school years, he shone in track and field, becoming a renowned sprinter. Reflecting on his past, Alex said, “Track taught me that if I aimed for success, I had to work harder than anyone else and never give up.” This mentality has undoubtedly helped shape his success with Spicer Inc.

After finishing high school, he attended college on a track scholarship, where he excelled in the sport and cherished his college life. Unfortunately, he had to abandon his college experience when he ran out of funds and his family was unable to provide support.

A few months later, he was invited to attend a bobsled camp with Team USA and had the chance to become an Olympic athlete. During his training in Park City, Utah in 2020, he had a severe accident that resulted in a serious concussion, which in any sport is always a worrisome injury.

This setback caused him to reevaluate his Olympic aspirations and left him searching for his next move. He had prior experience working in landscaping and considered finding a job in the industry, but he ultimately realized that starting his own landscaping company would be a more advantageous path. Not only so that he could pave his own way but also so that he had the freedom to innovate and could eventually show other landscapers how to scale their businesses. This is how Spicer Landscaping, now Spicer Inc, came to be.

Spicer’s approach to expanding his business, much like in sports, was to put in more effort than his competitors and make Spicer Inc the most well-known landscaping firm in Big Flats, NY. This objective was achieved within a mere three years, turning Spicer Inc from a single-person operation based out of his vehicle into a thriving seven-figure enterprise that was and is consistently expanding. 

The determination of Alex to reach his goals is palpable. In a recent conversation about his aspirations, he declared, “My aim is to take Spicer Inc to a nine-figure company in less than seven years, and I have a well-structured plan to make it a reality. Once that’s achieved, I aspire to equip other landscaping professionals with the tools they need to succeed.” We eagerly anticipate following Alex and Spicer Inc’s progress in the near future.
