In 2002 I graduated from the University of MN with a degree in Agriculture Education and a passion to teach others how to grow, cultivate, and design.  I have taught everything from high school horticulture to now college horticulture for the past 13 years.  My special area of interest is soils with turf and grounds management.  Over the course of 3 decades of growing I have competed at contests all across the nation but am the most well known for being a 3 time Half Moon Bay World Champion and a 7 time Guinness World Record Holder.
