West Chester, Pa.-based Green Lawn Fertilizing President Matthew Jesson was honored last month by the Philadelphia Business Journal as one of its “40 Under 40.”

This program recognizes 40 individuals, under the age of 40, who are proven performers in their respective industries and communities.

“It is an honor and privilege to represent my company and fellow business owners and professionals in the Delaware Valley,” said Jesson. “It’s fantastic to be recognized by the local businesses in the community in any fashion, but the Philadelphia ’40 Under 40′ is a true honor.”

Jesson is also the founder of Green Pest Solution, a 2012 Inc. 5000 fastest growing company.
