About Me

How did I get here?
I have had a lifelong passion for being a part of the outdoors. From my early childhood living at a Boy Scout camp with 419 acres of wooded land and 7 lakes within the NJ Pine Barrens , I formed a relationship with the environment that continues to this day. I was often asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?". I can’t explain why but I would often answer that I wanted to be a logger. In 1999, I joined a logging crew in Northwestern Pennsylvania. This experience led me to become an arborist which evolved into becoming a native plants gardener. I am a father of three, two sons and a daughter. Living in the Chesterbrook area allows me to run my business throughout the Mainline. I take pride in being an active member of this community and support Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens, Chanticleer Gardens and the Wayne Art Center. I am also an active member of the Penn-Del Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture and was previously chapter president from 2010-2011. |
