Our Story
A driveway full of debris and a dump trailer nobody was using
How Cowboy Site Services actually started, in the founder's words.
I spent close to seven years in the Army as an M1 Armor Crewman — a tank crewman — and got out at the beginning of 2014.
Then school: a bachelor's and a master's in petroleum geology, and from 2018 work as an operations and development geologist. Good money, four layoffs, and the last one was mine. I was tired of giving that much of my week to something that wasn't.
Around then my wife and I were partway through a bathroom remodel, and the debris had sat in our driveway a while. I suddenly had time, so I borrowed my parents' dump trailer, loaded it, and ran it to the landfill.
Then I asked around what somebody would have charged me for that. That number is the reason this company exists.
It checked every box I cared about. Work for myself. Make a decent living. Do something that helps — I'd spent a week staring at that driveway, so I knew what getting the space back was worth.
I brought in Daniel, a friend leaving the mortgage business in a similar spot. Both our wives are real estate agents, which gave us a natural place to start.
I started Cowboy Site Services in 2026, after running odd jobs for friends and family to learn how the work really goes — how long a garage takes, what a load weighs, what to quote. Behind it is a Chevrolet 2500 and a 14-foot Top Hat dump trailer, and that's the rig that pulls into your driveway.

Daniel's story
Born and raised in the Texas Hill Country, I grew up doing what most country kids do — working hard, spending time outdoors, and learning to be handy. With a dad who could build or fix just about anything and a mom who grew up on a farm, being resourceful and getting my hands dirty came naturally.
After earning my degree from East Texas A&M University, I started out managing service teams at 24 Hour Fitness, then spent more than a decade in the mortgage industry helping families through one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. That career sharpened my communication, problem-solving, and attention to detail — and reinforced how much integrity and relationships matter.
Even so, I always felt drawn back to working with my hands and seeing tangible results at the end of the day. My wife and Mike's wife became friends through real estate and insisted we meet — convinced we were cut from the same cloth. They were right. When Mike came to me with the idea for Cowboy Site Services, it didn't take much convincing. It felt less like starting something new and more like getting back to the work I was always meant to do.
I believe in showing up when I say I will, working until the job is done right, and treating every customer like a neighbor.

Straight up
You're hiring the owners, not a franchise
One of us is on every job — no dispatcher, no call center, no handoff to a franchisee two counties over. The number we give you on site is the number on the invoice, the spot gets swept before we pull out, and you settle up once you've looked it over. If you want photos when the job's done, say the word and we'll send them.
See every service we run, the towns we cover in Collin and Grayson County, and what customers have said.
The Rig
One truck, one trailer, both ours
We run a Chevrolet 2500 pulling a 14-foot Top Hat dump trailer rated to 14,000 pounds. That's the whole operation, and it's why the pricing is honest — you're paying for the room your load takes up on that trailer, not for a franchise fee.
