A Determined Entrepreneur Finds the Perfect Franchise for His Family and Future

We are excited to announce the newest owner of Stand Strong Fencing: Trevor Schermer. Having already achieved a great deal of professional success, Trevor is sure to make a meaningful impact as an owner and we can’t wait to see all of the things he will accomplish. 

Who Is Trevor Schermer?

Trevor earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from Ohio State University in 2013 and an MBA from Indiana University, Kelley School of Business in 2019. From there, he went on to serve in a variety of finance-related roles, including stints as a CPA, financial controller, and CFO. 

A husband and soon-to-be dad, Trevor currently lives just outside of Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife Michelle. However, the couple intend to move to the Philadelphia area to set up their new business and be closer to family.

Why Did Trevor Schermer Make a Career Change?

Despite the success he’d achieved, Trevor was eager to take the next step and start a new chapter in his life. And like many others exploring the possibility of franchise ownership, he wanted more freedom, flexibility, and control of his time. He also wanted the chance to build generational wealth for his family. 

So, he started exploring franchise opportunities and reached out to the FranCoach team.

Why Will Trevor Schermer Make a Great Franchise Owner?

Like many other prospective franchise owners, Trevor encountered a few obstacles during his journey. Nevertheless, he remained focused on the end goal and managed to overcome every challenge he faced. This kind of dedication is a great sign and also helps illustrate Trevor’s intelligence, grit, and perseverance. 

FranCoach CEO Tim Parmeter noticed this first hand while working with Trevor, explaining that “The process took a few turns along the way but nothing deterred him. It is this trait, in addition to all of Trevor’s professional skills that will lead him to success as a franchise owner.”

Why Did Trevor Schermer Choose Stand Strong Fencing?

Trevor had already investigated a few potential franchise opportunities before reaching out to the FranCoach team, including a few in the vehicle maintenance and dog daycare space. But none of these franchises offered everything he was looking for.

Some prospective franchise owners in this situation end up settling for a less-than-ideal opportunity, but Trevor wouldn’t dream of it. As Tim explains, “Trevor was determined from the beginning to find his best franchise to own.”

So, we took our time and examined a number of options before discussing Stand Strong Fencing. As we talked, it became obvious that this was a great fit. It was not only involved in a relatively recession-resistant industry, but it was also a business built around high-ticket items – two things that were important to Trevor from the start. It was also a franchise opportunity that would allow him to start as a semi-absentee owner, which was important to Trevor given that he is about to become a father. 

Part of the Horsepower Brands network, Stand Strong Fencing provides secure and reliable fencing for residential and commercial clients alike. Combining old-world craftsmanship with new-age tech, Stand Strong Fencing embraces a cutting-edge process that enables the brand to provide a streamlined design and installation process. 

With dozens of locations spread across the U.S. (and additional locations coming on line all the time), Stand Strong Fencing has become an industry leader whose name is synonymous with quality.
