Chasing Storms - Meet Entrepreneur Mike Harlow

When that massive storm ripped through Iowa two weeks ago dozens of linemen raced into the state to assist in getting thousands of homes and businesses power. Following that effort folks like Mike Harlow of Greener Tree Care of Hannibal, Missouri came to clear trees and pick up debris. Mike is an entrepreneur and he's been all over the United States with his business. I asked him to sit down for a bit and tell me his story.  We think you'll like it...we sure made a friend.
