My name is Carter Florence, a 15-year-old entrepreneur and founder of Yardex Guelph, a renowned lawn maintenance company in Guelph, Ontario. Our exceptional service has not only been featured on Guelph Today but also earned us the Consumer Choice Award. Beyond my business ventures, I serve the community as a swim instructor and lifeguard for the city of Guelph. Academically, I excel in DECA's Personal Financial Literacy (PFL) events, having clinched the provincial title in 2024, which has paved my way to compete at the International Career Development Conference (ICDC) in Anaheim, California. Additionally, I am an avid swing trader in the stock market and a prudent mutual fund investor, continuously seeking opportunities to grow financially and professionally.
