Meet The Team

Hello! I started Good Nature in 1999 with the help of my parents who encouraged me and let me live in their basement for a few years. Since then, thanks to open minded clients and hardworking, committed, and smart coworkers, we've been able to bring our healthy organic lawn care approach to more people in more cities than I ever thought possible back in 1999. Thanks everyone!

About me. I grew up in the country, outside of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Growing up, I put our lawn to the test, playing just about any sport you could play on it. Mostly football, but also soccer, baseball, running bases - you name it. You could say I developed my passion for lawns and especially lawns safe to play on at an early age.

Today my wife and I are back in Chagrin Falls with our son and daughter. In our spare time we like working in the yard and playing touch football. Not much has changed in the last 20 years!

I chose to work for Good Nature because I believe we need to be better stewards of our planet, and Good Nature’s values align with mine. I have a bachelor’s degree in biology from Hiram College and I am an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist. I was also an agroforestry volunteer in the U.S. Peace Corps in Paraguay and the Philippines.

I am married with one son. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, eating food, and drinking local beer! My favorite outdoor activities are camping, hiking, gardening, and cross-country skiing.

I wanted to work for Good Nature because I needed to make a change in my life and in myself, and Good Nature was a perfect fit. In my free time, I love going shooting and collecting old guns.

I wanted to work for Good Nature because I believe in the mission and ideals of the company. Also, I see the growth potential in the Organic Lawn Care industry as a whole. I have my Masters in Human Resource Management and Bachelors in Business Administration, both from DeVry University.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my beautiful wife and daughter, as well as our extremely energetic Cavalier King Charles. During the Summer I pitch in a local amateur baseball league, as well as play softball in the Fall.

I wanted to work for Good Nature because I really liked the company’s idea of trying to make the world a better place by using organic alternatives in lawn care. I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Environmental Science, specializing in Water Quality from Ohio State University. I also certified by the state to apply pesticides. In my personal time, I love to read, play games and watch movies. I married my best friend, Sydney, who also works at Good Nature and we have a dog named Nyx, who has become the company mascot.

I chose to work at Good Nature because I love to work outside and experience the outdoors. It is an added bonus that our company helps the environment. Currently, I have a Commercial Applicator License.

I chose to work for Good Nature to make a positive impact on the environment and help people do the same. Previously, I worked as a machine operator for a print company for 11 years.

I have always had an interest in working outdoors, but I wanted to be a part of a company with great values, trying to make a positive impact. I began working with Good Nature (Cleveland) shortly after college, back in 2006. In 2008, Alec and I started up our Good Nature Columbus operation. It is very gratifying to be able to offer our great services to more and more customers each year. In college, I majored and graduated with a Finance degree from Ohio University, in Athens. I am an ODA-certified applicator and a Landscape Industry Certified Lawn Care Technician through the National Association of Landscape Professionals.

Currently, I live in Westerville with my wife, Mary, and our 3 children. We also have a dog, Cos. Family is first for me! Growing up in the Cleveland area, I was born into my Cleveland sports fandom, but I embrace it all the same. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, exercise, and exploring new areas with my family. I am also an active practitioner in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Any other spare time, I am a novice carpenter and enjoy building projects around the house and yard.

I wanted to work for Good Nature because I enjoy helping people and meeting new people. I have always had an interest in turf - I grew up working on a golf course with my dad’s grounds crew. I wanted to continue in the ‘Green Industry’ and Good Nature provides a good product and service without the harmful chemicals, for a safer lawn! In college, I majored in Turf Grass Science and Agribusiness at The Ohio State University and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Science in Agriculture. I am also an ODA-certified applicator and a Landscape Industry Certified Technician through the National Association of Landscape Professionals.

At home, I have a Golden Retriever, Zander who is my homie. I have 12 tattoos and counting. I believe that they are a great way to express one’s self and share individuality through art. Each has a meaning and a story! In my free time, I love to hike, kayak, draw, play video games, and read (a lot of nerd stuff). I also enjoy hanging out with friends. I love craft beers, especially here in Columbus. There are so many great breweries to try!

The outdoors has always been a huge part of my life and has been one of the primary factors in who I am today as a person. Finding a company that not only allows me to work outdoors, but also helps me support the environment, was almost too perfect to be true.

I graduated high school with a diploma of Distinction in Mathematics. I currently have completed 3 semesters at Columbus State, but with all my prerequisites done, I have taken a step back to figure out the exact direction I want to take with my degree. I am currently certified in First Aid and CPR.

My personal interests include spending time with my twin brother and the other non-twins in my family. I enjoy quiet nights with my girlfriend and our dog and cat. My favorite outdoor activity would probably have to be teaching children on Ohio's wildlife and geography. I spent the last five summers working as a counselor at a sleep away camp, that had a focus on education of basic OLS and the surrounding wildlife. While indoors, my favorite hobby would have to be reading. I have always been an avid reader and have recently finished one of my favorite fantasy series by Robin Hobb.

Working for Good Nature appealed to me because I was seeking a job that allowed me to be outdoors and part of the sustainable movement! I am also an Herbalist, Certified Holistic Health Coach, and Peristeam Hydrotherapist.

My favorite outdoor activities include anything that will get me a tan, chillin' at the beach, and taking an evening walk with my son. I love to use my downtime doing spa treatments, natural remedies, meditation, and beach days with my crew.

I wanted to work for Good Nature to try something different and enhance my skillset. I'm very committed to learning new things and working hard.

I really enjoy spending time with my wife, two daughters, cat, and dog. Some of my favorite outdoor activities include walking trails, fishing, and playing flag football or football in general. I also love bowling, earning money, and playing games.

I have a little sister that lives with my dad and is in high school. I love fishing, hockey, football, skiing, and hiking! I really enjoy watching sports in my free time, most particularly I am a lifelong Browns and Bluejackets fan.

I am a recent graduate from Indiana State University with a Bachelor's of Science and Education. I am a certified teacher in the state of Indiana while having equal passion for the environment and teaching. I have taught environmental education both locally and around the world.

In my free time, my interests range from coaching or watching baseball, hanging out with my friends or family, playing with my two dogs, or doing something creative. My favorite outdoor activities are baseball, hiking, biking, planting flowers, and concerts. When I'm inside, I love to cook, watch movies and play the occasional video/board game(s).
