Mike graduated from college in 1976 with a degree in Horticulture. He worked through his high school and college years at a local landscaping business where he learned much about the trade.

Growing each year, he expanded the services provided from just landscape management into landscape construction and irrigation. His love for the industry goes back to his teen years when he got started by mowing neighborhood lawns.
