Team

I have 15 years of combined experience with landscaping, design, horticulture and construction. With Common Ground, I have expanded the boundaries of what I once thought was possible. My adult life has consisted of seeking knowledge and hands-on skills. I’ve also invested time building passive solar homes and developing agricultural land. During the summer of 2019, I completed a PDC (Permaculture Design Certificate) and ATC (Appropriate Technology Course) in the mountains of Montana, where I met my wife Taylor. Skills and certifications: -Permaculture Design Certificate -Master Composter Certificate -Irrigation Tech and Design Certificate -Drainage Solutions Certificate -Drone Pilot Certificate -Landscape Horticulture Mentorship -Natural Stone Hardscaping -Appropriate Technologies Certificate -Market Garden and Greenhouse Production

I'm Common Ground's primary designer and landscape horticulturist. Ecological landscaping, connecting a landscape with the surrounding environment, is the focus of my design and install work. I love being able to bring a landscape to life.

An advocate of using technology and marketing as a means for positive change, I'm an experienced Web Developer and always learning more about how to communicate big ideas. I consider myself a budding student of nature as I learn more about its innate intelligence and ability to heal if given the chance.

I've been working with Common Ground since the beginning. I'm the equipment operator and specialist for all things carpentry. From raised beds to decks, I can build it. I love leading and learning new skills.

I've been working in the green industry for over 6 years. With my experience, I look forward to helping you build your ideal garden and connecting with nature. Together, with the Common Ground team we can create your dream garden.
