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 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.

Some of my personal interests include spending time with my kids, going on adventures in nature, macro photography, building vivariums for my frogs, writing and music production. Among my favorite activities are basketball, baseball, fishing, hiking and exploring new places.

My values very much align with the mission of Good Nature Organic Lawn Care. Additionally, I was immediately drawn to the company, as it seemed very welcoming and employee-focused.

Also my family are gear heads, so I'll help my brother and dad with their small drag racing truck. Some hobbies that interest me include woodworking, adventures in the great outdoors, astronomy, cooking, cars and trucks. I also enjoy watching and attending hockey games. It's a dream of mine to travel more and visit other countries.

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.

Currently, I live in Westerville with my wife, Mary, and our 3 children. We also have a dog, Cos. Family is first for me!

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.
