My favorite thing about Landcaping / Designing / Outdoors:
Solving the challenges for each Project. Every site has a story. I liken it to solving a puzzle. When all the pieces are put together it’s gratifying to know I made a positive impact on the site.
My Inspiration:
Landscape Architecture was in my blood. My father was an L.A. for 40 years. I started working on a tree farm and never looked back.
Who taught me my most valuable lesson and what it was?
Coach Vince Dooley – “Be the Best You Can Be”. That has stuck with me my entire career.
My ideal outdoor space:
Poolside with a warm full color Bluestone Deck. I’d put in limestone seatwalls with a rectngular fire pit. Natural landscape on the edges that backs up to the woods with a natural waterfeature. Don’t forget the built in hot tub.
What inspires me:
My Daughter inspires me to learn as much as I can and make the most of each day.
My favorite landscape style:
Sustainable sites. An example would be a raingarden, short grasses and a few wildflowers next to a manicured fescue.
