My first job in the green industry

was...mowing lawns when I was 10 years old. I wanted a pair of sneakers that cost $120. My Dad bought me a used Toro 21” walk behind for $150 instead and told me to buy my own shoes. The rest is history.

The biggest challenge in my

career…consistent and reliable labor. Finding people who really care about the job they are doing and not just showing up for a paycheck.

The people who have influenced my career are…

my Dad, my wife, friends I have made through peer groups, and a handful of wonderful consultants.

My biggest career success so far has

been…being able to take what I have learned through 33 years of running my own business and using it to help others either starting their own business or in the mission field serving others.

If I had it to do over again, I would…have

invested more and spent less.

The thing I like most about my career

is…..working with clients to create outdoor spaces that extend their house beyond the walls.

My least favorite part of my job is…..

managing labor.

One piece of advice I would give to someone entering the green industry

today is…establish your systems and processes first and join a peer group so you have people to help you navigate your business. Run your business, do not let your business run your life.

The one thing most responsible for my

success is…God. Knowing that I am not in control of anything and when you turn to Him, the answers will be there, and doors will open.

If I could change careers, just for a

month, I would…be a life coach.

One thing that really annoys me is…when

things don’t work the way they are supposed to.

One thing most people don’t know about

me is…as much as I like to talk to people, I struggle with stage fright.

When I’m not working, I like to…go

out to dinner with my wife Megan, hang out with my two daughters (Leighton, 13, and Harper, 11), play golf, read books, do mission work, and travel.
