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 grew up building and got my start in construction as soon as I could. I've been working with Common Ground since 2019. 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.
