"Even on my worst days, I can love Jesus and be loved back." —  Jim Lynch

About Jim Lynch: My name is James (Jim) Lynch. I was born in Pensacola, FL and moved to Grand Junction, CO when I was 8 years old. After High School, I attended Dekalb College in Georgia and did not graduate as God had other plans for me. I had two car accidents in two weeks, totaling both cars. After the second accident, I was unscathed but walked away from the accident, hit my knees, and gave my life to Christ. That night, when I arrived at my apartment my neighbor asked, unprompted, “Jim, do you need a job….?”, “WELL!  As a matter of fact!” He handed me a phone number and address and told me to show up there at 8am the next day. When I arrived, I began my career in Landscaping and have been doing that ever since. God does know what is best for us. JPL Cares is an ASCA top 100 in North America company in Snow Maintenance and a formidable competitor in the landscape maintenance arena in the Front Range of Colorado. We will be celebrating 31 years in business in 2023.  

Ministry/Motto: ‘BRINGLIFE to our customers through the service we provide.’ A video that demonstrates our heart for the Special needs community. 

At this point, we have completed 7 homes for Cottonwood Community Alternatives. Two years ago, we had an opportunity to bid an 85-acre facility.  We made it to the final 3. “What sets you apart from the competition?”, They asked. Well, anyone can cut grass but not everyone can BRINGLIFE. If you sign us, we will do all the maintenance for the Women’s Crisis Shelter, next door to your facility ($15k value). We closed the deal! As a company, we also support Colorado Uplift, Compassion International, World Vision, Hornbuckle, Marketplace Chaplains, and other local and global ministries. JPL Cares is a member of C12 Denver South forum. To learn more please reach out to John Price at 719-233-0597 or [email protected] C12: Christian Business Forums and Executive Coaching (joinc12.com)

My wife (Tiffany) and I hold several individual industrial/mixed-use properties, we are investors in a multi-family development in Denver, CO. We own a 20% interest in an Austin, TX Landscape Company ‘CTX Proscapes’, we have a B&B in Boca Grande, FL, and are members of Red Rocks Church, Littleton Campus.  Tiffany is the head of the hospitality ministry at the Littleton campus, where I get to support her. In all other things, Tiffany is my primary support here on earth. We are both in love with Jesus and strive to hear from and act on the calling of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We know that all we have is because of the gifts of our Father in Heaven.
