I've been with Plant & Supply Locator and PlantFinder for 22 years. Starting as a salesman, now VP, I am constantly growing and thriving alongside our business in this industry. My favorite thing to do is reference buyers to growers and help forge connections between them. On my days off I enjoy quality time at the lake with my two boys. Whether we are fishing or tubing on the water, my happy place is being there with them. Slinging them off the tube makes it even more entertaining! My favorite hobbies are smoking all different kinds of meats and cooking various stews. After work I coach football at our local high school.

As a long-time team member of The Plant Locator, since 2007, I have developed a great respect for this industry and all the people I’ve met along the way. One of the best parts of my job is getting out of the office and visiting my customer’s farms and nurseries! Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my wife and two kids. We are constantly on the go with sports and church functions. My hobbies include camping, fishing, and interacting with nature. One of my hidden talents is I play trumpet and guitar.

I've been working in the industry for 8 years and my favorite aspect of my job is interacting with our customers. Between all the growers and buyers I connect with, I continue to learn more and more each day about the agricultural world. I value all the connections and friendships I've made along the way. Outside of work I love going to the beach and enjoying the water when it's crystal clear. I also adore spending time with my children and granddaughter. My family and I take a special interest in the US Marines and Army as my oldest son is a Marine and my husband trains cadets for the Army at the college level. I work closely with the Blue Star Mothers organization supporting military families. My middle son and I share a love for food as he is always creating delicious new dishes and is headed off to culinary school. Additionally I am an FFA mom, and we breed and raise goats as a project for my youngest son. I take great pride and joy getting involved with my sons’ and their special interests.

I began working for the PlantFinder in 2018 as a data entry and customer service specialist. As a dedicated team member I've worked hard towards advancing to my now position of an Account Administrator and Marketing Consultant. Along the way I’ve had the privilege of forging new connections and friendships that I continue to hold near and dear to my heart. I have developed a great respect and appreciation for this industry and all the people dedicated to it. Outside of work I enjoy quality time with my friends and family. In my free time I also enjoy outdoor activities such as beach days and nature walks, or anything involving a scenic route. I'm also keen on watching new shows and series or reading a good book. Above all my hobbies my favorite is traveling. Whenever I have the opportunity to take a trip I love to embark on exciting adventures to new places and seek out new experiences. I am always open to trying and learning new things in order to grow more and more every day.

I began my career in the green industry in 2022, learning more and more about it every day. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting and forming strong relationships with some of the industry's best growers. When I'm not working, I enjoy quality family time with my wife, six children, and two grandchildren. We are a household of sports lovers, as I have been the PA announcer at our local high school's sporting events for over 10 years. My favorite is college level football and my blood bleeds orange and purple! GO TIGERS!

Ever wonder who's the face behind the magazine? Hi, it's me!
I have been a PlantFinder team member since 2007, creating and editing the magazine since 2015. I truly enjoy creating something that is so highly valued and beloved by so many in this industry. Seeing a customer's genuine appreciation for our magazine is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Outside of work I enjoy quality time with my family. The occasional beach day with my husband and son is my ideal happy place. In my free time I find leisure and relaxation in things like meditation, yoga, and nature walks. I also enjoy more fast paced and high intensity activities like running, working out, and riding my Peloton bike. As a mom to a young boy I am constantly on the go with outdoor activities, so I like to wind down at the end of my day by reading books on my kindle or watching my favorite show The Office.
