Summary

I am an experienced professional who has spent years in the landscaping industry after earning my B.S. in Ornamental Horticulture and Landscape Design from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I am seeking the position of Park Grounds Maintenance Supervisor for the city of Pigeon Forge. I have always taken great pride in my work and looked for ways to improve so that the end result is above the expectations of my customers, and made sure that my crews payed great attention to detail and conducted themselves in a professional manner. I enjoy every aspect of the business from the design and bid process to the gratification of seeing the project through, step by step. While I consider myself an expert, I constantly seek methods and information that will produce a better product and a great experience for those I work beside.
