About the Founder
Lawns Go Wild was founded by Romir Jain, an aspiring high schooler passionate about sustainability, water conservation, and data analytics.

With a background in public policy and a drive to make a difference, he aims to integrate technology and data-driven approaches into Lawns Go Wild's initiatives. Romir actively engages in hands-on projects and community outreach, and hopes to inspire others to adapt to sustainable lawn care practices.
