I’M IN MY NINTH SEASON WITH ASPEN, THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR AS TURF DEPARTMENT MANAGER AND FOURTH AS A TURF MANAGER. I’M ORIGINALLY FROM PENNSYLVANIA, THOUGH I CONSIDER KANSAS CITY HOME. I’VE ALSO LIVED IN TENNESSEE, ILLINOIS, AND COLORADO. I’M NOT MARRIED BUT SOON WILL BE ON SEPT. 3RD TO DANIELLE. I HAVE ONE CHILD, MY DOG “McGREGOR”. MY PARENTS LIVE IN OLATHE, AND MY YOUNGER SISTER TEACHES ENGLISH IN KOREA. I GRADUATED FROM OLIVET NAZARENE UNIVERSITY NEAR CHICAGO WITH A DEGREE IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION WITH A CONCENTRATION ON MANAGEMENT. I’VE WORKED IN THE LAWN CARE INDUSTRY FOR NINETEEN YEARS; ELEVEN OF WHICH I OWNED MY OWN BUSINESS. MY DAD AND I STARTED A LAWN CARE SERVICE IN ILLINOIS WHEN I WAS SEVEN. WE OWNED & OPERATED IT TOGETHER FOR ELEVEN YEARS BEFORE SELLING IT WHEN WE MOVED HOME TO KANSAS CITY. I HAD SUCH A GOOD EXPERIENCE IN MY BUSINESS THAT EVENTUALLY I’D LIKE TO OWN ANOTHER COMPANY, SHOULD THE OPPORTUNITY EVER PRESENT ITSELF. I STARTED WORKING WITH ASPEN DURING THE SPRING OF 2002, RETURNING BACK EVERY SUMMER THERAFTER DURING SUMMER BREAKS FROM SCHOOL. I LOVE MY JOB AT ASPEN, IT’S A GREAT PLACE TO WORK. I ENJOY THE PEOPLE I WORK WITH; AND COULD ASK NOTHING MORE THAN GETTING TO BE OUTSIDE EVERYDAY. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOU A LITTLE ABOUT ME, HOPEFULLY I ‘LL SEE YOU ON YOUR LAWN SOON.
