Human nature tells us to give of ourselves and to give back to our community. Your company vehicles... probably drive by a dozen places every day where people could benefit from your giving. And chances are, your kids or your neighbors’ kids are those people. We’re talking about the local high schools – both vocational/technical schools or general education. And what you’d be donating are the logs you’d otherwise be disposing of anyway.

This is a story about achieving success while upholding integrity. Too often, we hear about ...individuals who amass wealth or build businesses at the expense of others. While these stories may grab headlines, the reality is that most of us pursue our dreams with a genuine desire to create something meaningful while addressing a need. Stephen Fisher, founder of Fisher’s Tree & Crane Service Inc.—a TCIA member company for 10 years, based in Shelby, North Carolina—is a prime example of this principle in action!
