Frank “FX” Giaccio, of Falls Church, Virginia, is a boy with a mission.
The 11-year-old gained attention and promoted his lawn mowing business Friday after he cut the grass at the White House’s Rose Garden with permission from President Donald Trump.
According to White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Frank wrote the president a letter last month saying it would be his honor to mow the White House lawn.
“I would like to show the nation what young people like me are ready for ... I admire your business background and have started my own business,” he wrote, noting he would cut the presidential grass at no charge.
Frank included details about the services he offers and even said he would “bring extra fuel for the power mower and charged batteries for the weed wacker.”
On Friday, Trump called Frank, who wants to be a Navy SEAL when he grows up, the "future of the country."
“This is Frank, he’s going to be very famous, he’s going to be a Navy SEAL one day, he’s going to do great things for the country,” Trump said.
Frank and his father also met Vice President Mike Pence and toured the Oval Office and White House press briefing room.
According to ABC News, it was Frank's idea to write the president, of which he is a "huge fan." His father advised him to offer his services for free, instead of $8, which he charges for regular customers.
