Monster Tree Service expanded in Maryland.

The company said this expansion continues to build on its rapid three-year franchise system growth.

Business entrepreneur Jeff Friedman purchased the rights to a Monster Tree Service territory in Anne Arundel County, Md., which covers Severna Park, Annapolis, Glen Burnie, Elkridge and surrounding areas. Friedman officially launched his business in March.

Friedman is a U.S. Army veteran who first came to Maryland in 2007. He was stationed at Fort Meade and immediately fell in love with the area. While in the Army, Friedman trained in the field of information technology. He continued building on his IT experience at the Department of Defense. He said when it came time to make the decision about the next step in his career, his IT experience led him to Monster Tree Service.

“When I was first introduced to Monster, I was immediately drawn to their data analytics system,” Friedman said. “Their customer relationship management system creates leads, accurate quotes, work orders, tracks how long crews have been on a job and more. It’s an incredible tool that monitors the health of the business.”

Josh Skolnick, CEO and founder of Monster Tree Service, is confident Friedman will be an excellent asset to the Monster Tree Service franchise.

“Jeff is a perfect fit for the Monster Tree Service franchise opportunity,” Skolnick said. “He has a good head for business and a great understanding of the needs of his community. I am confident he can handle any challenge that comes his way and will thrive as the newest member of the Monster family. We are glad to have Jeff on our team.”
