A great natured group of individuals that is passionate about making the world a better place
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 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.

As a child, my parents ensured that my siblings and I had a really strong connection with nature. This resulted in me attending college for Environmental Science. Given how much I love to spend time outdoors, working for Good Nature was such a great fit. I'm excited to be able to help people treat the Earth with respect, while still providing healthy and beautiful lawns and landscapes.
