I bring my 19 years of hardscape installation experience to every class I teach.
Over the course of my career, I have worked with and learned from some of the best Hardscapers in the world. From being a student myself (with a diploma in Landscape Management) an employee, foreman, and owning my own companies specializing in natural stonework, I have developed a keen sense of what it takes to succeed and how to give that knowledge back to my peers, employees, and students. I’m here to bring a complete picture of hardscaping to anyone looking to seriously improve their skill set and gain knowledge on how to be more precise, professional, and competitive in this modern age of landscape construction. Having physically built a huge number of projects from design to completion I have been very lucky to be in a position to have such a wide range of useful experience in our industry.
I also have been instructing private groups, providing consulting services, and hold a post at the Pacific Horticulture College, where I teach “Hardscaping” and “Grading and Drainage” in their RED SEAL horticulture program.
