His dad, Suriya, volunteered to mow a friends a lawn when he was 11 and paid him $10. He liked making money so much they started a company along with his younger brother.
"There is a lot of things that they have going for them, hard work ethic, they are business savvy, they are great with money" Suriya said. "I can't really complain because I get to hang out with them, make money, watch them in sports and be their number one fan."
Susu has been getting interest from GLIAC school for football and says that after college he would like to grow Cool Guy Lawn Co. even more.
