Meet Our Team!

In March of 2014, Skye had the idea for the LawnGuru app. He quickly pitched it to Brandon Bertrang and they both agreed that a mobile platform could solve several of the problems that plagued the existing outdoor service industry. If Skye's not working on UI/UX, you can probably find him peddling snacks from his desk drawers (aka Skye's Vending Emporium) or training for SURVIVOR.

Brandon is a fearless negotiator, accomplished salesman and relentless achiever. Known to work 25hrs a day, there are few tasks that go unfinished in Brandon's calendar. A die hard Spartans fan, avid gym rat and aspiring GQ model, most nights you can find Brandon pumpin' iron at TRUFIT.

Jake joined LawnGuru in November, 2014 as lead developer. He currently studies Computer Science at the University of Michigan. An active hackathon hacker (yeah, that's redundant) and VR enthusiast, its not unusual to find Jake sporting the latest headset by Oculus. In the office he would like to be known as "Better Jake" though his ping pong skills argue otherwise.

Most days, you'll find Seth connecting with a few different departments in the LawnGuru office. Software is what enables LawnGuru to be so effective when it comes to serving our customers and providers and Seth helps bring all of our platforms and employees together digitally to create amazing experiences.

Luke joined the LawnGuru team in April 2016 when offered a position by his big bro and Lead Developer (Better) Jake. A Summer internship turned into a full time position when he proved himself to be a quick learner. Luke is an avid gamer so when he’s not testing the app or making changes to the back end, you may find him deeply engaged in a game of Hearthstone or Battlefield.

Shaina is the head of Consumer Relations at LawnGuru. Though her passion lies in horses, hot yoga & brunching, her true passion is in the act of talking; which is why you can find her in her corner office chatting away with our fabulous users. If ever a worry arises with LawnGuru, Shaina is quick to find a solution whether that comes in the form of sweet talking, diplomacy or just being really, incredibly charming.

Gurnoor is studying Computer Science and Entrepreneurship at University of Michigan. A tech and hackathon culture enthusiast, Gurnoor was one of the organizers of MHacks 7 - one of the largest hackathons ever held in US. He worked with Institute of Social Research’s Tech team for a year to help upgrade the technologies being used within the department and to outreach to the public before joining the LawnGuru team in June 2016 as an iOS Developer.

Justin brings nearly 10 years of industry experience to our team. When it comes to laying freshly cut stripes, their are few who know more. That's why Justin is perfectly suited to oversee our provider relations. Despite his surfer bro hair and his over use of the saying 'for sure' this dude's still all business.

Jake officially joined LawnGuru in March of 2014 as our lead designer. An undeniably talented artist and true Renaissance Man, Jake's creativity can be found all over the web and else where. Check out his design portfolio at
