I started landscaping in 1996 and quickly became most interested in stone work because of its artistic potential. I'm well versed in different kinds of stone having worked on walls and flat work in New England, Texas, and Idaho, although most of my work has been in the Willamette Valley and Rogue Valley of Oregon. After many years of hands-on work, and hundreds or thousands of tons of rock, I decided to go back to school to extend my practical knowledge of landscaping. I now have an A.A.S in landscape technology and a 2 year landscape design certificate.

In addition to installing stone work and plant material, I have integrated landscape design and drafting into my repertoire. I am currently a member of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers, and the Stone Foundation. I am licensed with the Oregon Landscape Contractors Board.
