Summary
Ever since I was a child, I always had a passion for the outdoors and working with my hands. Over the years, I have taken this love of the outdoors and transformed it into a career of mine. When it was time for me to get my first job, I was able to convince my parents to let me start a simple lawn mowing business. This business of mine has since rapidly expanded into a full blown design/build landscape firm. I am extremely passionate about the industry and look to learn from and educate others in the industry as I continue to grow as an individual and business owner.
