My connection to the land isn't a hobby — it's in my blood.
The Roots of the Story
Growing up on a farm in the Quad Cities, I learned early on that the outdoors is a natural extension of the home. I spent my Sundays listening to the hum of the neighborhood and watching the majestic oaks stand guard over vibrant green lawns. That wasn't just grass and wood; it was the pride of our community.
A Legacy of Grit & Science
River's Edge wasn't built in a day. It was built on the foundation of a family work ethic and a deep respect for nature:
The Work Ethic
Inspired by my father's successful business ventures and "never-quit" attitude.
The Science
Mentored by my stepfather, a Certified Arborist, who taught me the vital importance of specialized knowledge.
The Magic
Guided by my mother's "magical touch" with all things green, showing me the beauty of nurturing what surrounds us.
