ABOUT ME

Passionate About Inspiring Others

My life experience has revolved around leadership within the landscape industry for over 40 years. I hope to be able to influence people to become great leaders within their company, church or organization. Leadership qualities can be developed in anyone that is willing to commit and invest in themselves. 

I am an Executive Coach, Company Leadership Trainer and Small Business Consultant Certified by the John Maxwell Team. I help people become better at their respective roles. I help companies systematize and develop process' to ensure company and net profit goals. I love Leadership training, developing roles and helping teams achieve their goals.

I taught leadership and how to develop systems and process' at PROCARE Landscape Management/ CHOP Tree Service over my 27-year career. During that time, I led the Association of Grand Rapids Landscape Professionals as President, served on the board of the Michigan Nursery Landscape Association, acquired the honor of Advanced Master Gardener Volunteer and became a LEED Accredited Professional with GBCI. I won 12 awards from 1989-2015 for Outstanding Landscape Management from Local, State and National Associations.

In 2015 I sold my Landscape/Tree Service companies to my sons and began to Coach, Train and Consult after Certification.

My ideal client is a small business owner in the service business. I relate well to that client because of my experience in the service industry. My objective is unique because I not only strive to create a healthy bottom line for the owner but also strive to develop the leaders within the company. That may seem like a broad description but once I hone in on your individually unique challenges the  solutions become apparent.
