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 have three dogs and two cats. I am also married with two children. Other hobbies of mine are hunting, fishing, bowling, and golfing.

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 wanted to work for Good Nature because I liked the people here and the family atmosphere. I received degrees from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, as well as Delaware State University. Through Good Nature, I was able to obtain my Professional Turf Pest Control Certification. When I'm not working, I enjoy exercising, going to the gun range, cooking and working on cars. 

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.

In my free time, I love to play (and listen) to music, cook, spend time with friends and family and travel. Some other hobbies of mine are playing guitar, brewing beer and cooking food!

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.

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!

I was born into Philly sports fandom and for better or worse, it occupies a good portion of whatever spare time I can find! I’m also a huge microbrewery explorer. And every once in a while, I’m able to sneak in some time to play the guitar. Always gotta keep things interesting!

I chose to work at Good Nature because I wanted to grow an organization that my skills could make a real impact. I wanted to contribute to the growth. The environmental impact is fantastic as well! I graduate from the University of Akron with a Bachelor’s in Science in Accounting.

I am married with three kids and two grandchildren. We have two dogs and two cats. I enjoy cars, traveling and game nights with my friends.

After knowing Alec McClennan for years and the type of person he is, I knew from the start that Good Nature would be an amazing place to work. I’m lucky to wake up each morning knowing that I’m doing my part to make the world a better, safer place.

I graduated from Kent State University with majors in Entrepreneurship and Managerial Marketing. Prior to Good Nature, I co-founded two companies and have had numerous roles in product sales and marketing management. I enjoy being outdoors in Ohio’s spring, summer and fall. I love spending extra time with family and friends. I like to golf, hunt, fish and enjoy spending time in nature.

I wanted to work for Good Nature because it was an organic lawn care company, instead of a chemical lawn care company. I am a Certified Turfgrass Professional and I graduated from Cleveland State University with a bachelor’s in Communication. I have also been a member of the Sierra Club since 1998.

I have a wife, two kids, and a dog. In my personal time, I enjoy doing yoga, kayaking, going bird watching, bicycling, gardening, and other environmental activities.

There are two great reasons I wanted to work for Good Nature. The first is I think our environment should be a number one priority. And the second reason is that I love coming in every day to see my Good Nature family. 

A little something you might like to know about me is that I'm a crazy cat lady with three beautiful felines named Lars, Sour Cream, and Onion. I love watching Cleveland sports, especially my nephew's t-ball team. You can find me at the beach, walking dogs at Friendship APL, or cooking. If I'm not in Cleveland, I'm visiting friends and hiking in Colorado.

I chose to work for Good Nature because I wanted to help provide a healthy environment while educating others on the importance of going organic. At home, I have a rescue dog named Brownie (named after the Browns). I enjoy working out daily and being active. I always love hanging around my friends. In my personal time, I enjoy hiking with my dog in the metros and playing basketball in a league. You can pretty much find me enjoying the outside weather all the time!

I am enjoying my outreach position with Good Nature. I have been a lifetime resident of Northeast Ohio, currently residing in Brookpark. I have been serving on the Rocky River Watershed board since 2011, striving to protect our environment for my children, grandchildren, and future generations. I attend numerous educational seminars and public awareness events in my community to connect and collaborate on producing a positive effect on our planet. I enjoy playing and coaching ice hockey in my free time.

Working at Good Nature gives me the opportunity to experience the scientific process from start to finish. The final product is used to keep both people and the environment away from chemicals. I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science from John Carroll University with a major in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. 

When I am not working, I am hanging out with my cat, Hedwig. I also love reading, playing video games, watching movies, hiking, solving puzzles, and painting. I am always interested in talking about botany, environmental science, and climate change.

Good Nature’s safe and environmentally friendly methods of services are something I strongly stand behind. I currently have a B.S. in Business from Miami University.

At home, I have an Australian Shepherd named Dakota. She is a working dog on my girlfriend’s organic farm. Hiking in the metro-parks and hanging out at Edgewater Beach with our dog are two of my favorite outdoor activities. When I’m inside, you can find me playing as the Browns in Tecmo Super Bowl on my ‘86 Nintendo. I enjoy music and art of many different genres. I’m a fanatic for the New York Mets!

I wanted to work at Good Nature because of the welcoming work environment, friendly coworkers, and because of how much the company cares about their employees! I currently have a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology.

In my personal time, I really try to stay active by doing things like hiking, biking and lifting weights. I also like to spend time trying new restaurants in Cleveland, reading and spending time with my boyfriend and his dog. Other than that, you can find me swimming, road tripping and exploring all there is about Cleveland!

I live a holistic lifestyle of using natural remedies and staying healthy. Good Nature wants to bring these ideas to your home and keep you, your family, and your lawn healthy and safe so working with Good Nature is a great fit for me! I also run a side business where I make commissioned embroidery and paintings. 

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'm really looking forward to starting my career with Good Nature and making the world more green, one lawn at a time! In addition to working here, I'm currently pursuing my Masters in a Human Resource Management Program at DeVry University, which I will be graduating from in 2021. I also have my Bachelors in Business Technical Management with a focus on sales and marketing from DeVry University.

When I'm home, I spend most of my free time with my amazing wife, Marissa and our dog, Louis. I play in an amateur baseball league in the Summer and occasionally play video games when I get the chance (which is almost never). Aside from that, I'm very interested in horology and watch collecting!

I chose to work for Good Nature because I really enjoy the environment! I also got a feel for the company and my coworkers during the interview process, which made the process very appealing. Before Good Nature, I graduated from Garfield High School and became a certified nail technician.

When I'm home, I'm creating memories outdoors with my two kids that I adore. We spend time with my cat (Tiger) who actually enjoys watching Animal Planet! I love swimming and snowboarding, too. I also like to do nails in my free time.
