I was born in San Bernardino, California and moved to Toledo, Ohio at the age of 8. I finally settled in Central Ohio in 1972. While in high school, I started a greenhouse floriculture business that grew from one 15' x 20' structure to over 40,000 sq. ft. of plant production. After graduating from Dublin High School, I attended several local and state horticultural competitions.
Prior to coming to Buckeye Landscape, I was a manager at Frank's Nursery in Dublin. I started my career with Buckeye in 1982, working in the field. Since, I have moved up through the ranks of field personnel and moved into sales in 1990.
In 2001, along with all the employees, I participated in the creation of an Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP) purchase of Buckeye Landscape.
