Bev Bevan drummer with Electric Light Orchestra, and Deep Purple. Jasper Carrot, comedian (famous in the UK) his daughter was also in the original series of The Office.

Bev Bevan's a cool guy made us a cup of tea and had a good old chat with everyone. Sorry there"s no A list celebs here. I'll try harder!

Never worked for any celebrities... More CEO's, CFO's, etc. etc. A friend of mine used to have over 1000 spray clients. For the most part you'd have to read the financial section of the papers to recognize any of the names. Even then I think he hardly ever dealt with them directly.

i wouldn't wan to work for most of them today.

the old scholl celebrities who had class would be a different story.someone like Bob Hope,Johnny Carson,Katherine Hepburn,Jackie Gleason,Rodney Dangerfield.Tom Petty or John Mellencamp would be cool,Sinatra,Martin,or Elvis.of course,i would always work for Selma Hayek.

i bet Wanda Sykes or Joan Rivers would be a blast to work for.

Let's see, there's bing crosby's home in del mar, kevin costner, winona ryder and vanna white on lake arrowhead, and lance allworth's house in lake helix.

Costner's house on lake arrowhead was decadent.

Haven't worked directly with any celebs. Over the summer I started doing a decent amount of work for a Family that owns a lot of commercial property around St. Louis. I worked with the woman's grandson (he runs most of it for her)mainly. There were a couple other people working for her also. Come to find out they were Andy Van Slyke's sons. When they aren;t paling minor league baseball they work for this lady. They are really good friends with her grandson. They went to the same school. It actually gave me a lot of respect for them and their dad. It wasn't like they just stood around. They were working shovels jackhammers and dragging bush to the chipper. I thought that was great to see. I also took a couple trees down and deliver firewood to the guys that has the most popular Tatoo place in St. Louis. Real nice guy.

does the White House front lawn count?











J/K but I did trim a ROW on Richard Petty's farm in randleman NC and he came out to speak to us. Most of the people I do work for now are high end people so to speak.
