    About Us

    Tommy Lather - Founder

    Tommy has worked in the landscape construction world since he was eligible for a work permit at the age of 15 in Clarksville, Maryland. By age 18, Tommy was operating his own business performing landscape & hardscape projects in excess of $50k for homeowners & HOAs throughout the Baltimore-DC metro area. In 2007 Tommy relocated to Austin, TX where he worked as a top account manager for a national re-wholesale nursery, and then as Senior Estimator for a L&L Top 100 Landscape Construction & Maintenance Firm.

    During his role as Senior Estimator, the seed for Takeoff Monkey was planted. Years of living the chaotic & stressful pre-construction life – Tommy knew there was a faster, easier way. In 2017, Tommy relocated to Winston-Salem, North Carolina to be closer to his family. Initially working for a couple of local construction contractors, the basis for Takeoff Monkey was further validated. Fast-forward to 2019, Takeoff Monkey was founded.

    If you ask – Tommy will tell you that his passion for the industry lies in its people. Working as Founder & CEO of Takeoff Monkey affords Tommy the opportunity to meet and interact with hundreds of contractors throughout the country – and he couldn’t be happier! In his spare time, you can find Tommy in a kayak on a lake, or occasionally in a tree stand. Tommy enjoys spicy food, sour gummy worms, super early mornings, and animals.

    David is originally from San Antonio, Tx and has worked in and around landscaping from an early age and maintained his love of the outdoors. He started off by working with neighbors in his neighborhood at the age of 14 to maintain and enhance their properties. After receiving his Marketing Degree with a minor in Communications from the University of Texas at San Antonio, David moved to Chicago to begin his sales and marketing career. He has worked in both large and small organizations and helped grow new locations for companies throughout the US.

    David relocated back to the Dallas area in 2000. He started a landscaping company in the north Dallas suburb of Frisco, Tx. He owned and operated and grew the company for 18 years. After selling the company, taking some time off and relocating down to the City of Dallas, David worked with Southern Botanical landscaping as the Business Development Manager for the construction branch. He managed the preconstruction department. David and Tommy both share a vision to help companies grow their business by reducing the time and stress involved in estimating and bidding work. David is passionate about helping companies focus on strategy and growth.

    Outside of work, you can typically find him on a mountain bike or gravel bike with his wife and friends. He enjoys hiking and camping and makes it a point to travel to the mountains once a year at minimum. He enjoys visiting our national parks and seeing nature.

    Janet Lee - Director of Operations

    Janet has worked in the Horticulture industry since 1990 with a multitude of experience from Maintenance/Construction/Estimating/Nursery/Sales and Purchasing.   During college worked with a major maintenance company in Tampa at a high end neighborhood mowing lawns, another position with a wholesale nursery in propagation, and finally ended up working as an estimator for a landscape contractor in the Tampa Bay area for several years prior to moving to Fort Worth, TX.

    Once in Texas, Janet worked with a large landscape contractor as head estimator and purchaser for construction projects.   After about 5 years of purchasing, one of her vendors recruited her to purchase over on the nursery side of things.   The next 17 years was spent working for two major wholesale nurseries based in Florida both in sales and purchasing.

    With her background in Estimating and Business Development, Janet is looking forward to helping Takeoff Monkey continue its growth!
    Her love for the outdoors doesn't stop at the Horticulture side of things!  Traveling to beaches (preferably FL Gulf Coast) and the Colorado Mountains each summer are always high priorities.   She has also helped her husband with his business (Gravel Grinders - cycling events on dirt roads of Texas) since 2009.
