Job title and description: General Manager oversees daily operations such as quality control of projects, business development, estimating, customer communications and systems development.
Work experiences: I have worked for a few landscape contractors over the last eighteen years. Additionally, my work experience includes retail nursery and wholesale nursery settings.

What I enjoy most about landscape creation: “I enjoy the undeniably raw intrinsic connection to nature derived from garden and landscape creation. I am passionately in love with the Central Coast of California: I find the seductively pungent Chaparral, wide-open arms of multi-branched Oak Woodlands and misty Coastal Sage full of endless inspiration. Our local natural landscapes are full of wisdom and suggestions of how to garden here successfully…if we merely observe carefully. Most of all, I enjoy celebrating our garden creations with our customers during and after construction.”
