Coulter Lewis is the co-founder and CEO of Sunday, the simple way to grow a beautiful lawn that’s safe to play on every day and is rooted in science. As a first-time home buyer with little gardening or lawn care experience, Coulter had never taken care of a lawn before so he turned to the internet for guidance. Instead of finding instructions, he found warnings. Coulter knew that if these chemicals were on his lawn, they were also in his home. Thus, he set out to create a product that would be both safe for his family and easy to use. Prior to Sunday, Coulter co-founded Quinn Snacks with his wife, Kristy Lewis, to give families the choice to snack mindfully, with only sustainable ingredients used in production. Through this experience they developed a network of growers and suppliers that emphasize transparency and remove unnecessary chemicals and artificial ingredients, which ultimately served as a resource for Coulter as he pursued building Sunday and transforming lawn care.
