FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
11+ years of industry experience. Currently pursuing my backflow inspectors certification and becoming a certified irrigation contractor through the Irrigation Association.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began my green industry career at a small grounds management company mowing grass, and doing landscape enhancements. I slowly started helping out with their irrigation installs in 2006. I then moved up to become an irrigation installation foreman doing residential irrigation installations. After installing systems for 4 years, I found myself wanting to be more of a problem solver, and I began my career in the service industry. 7 years later, I'm still enjoying the daily challenges irrigation presents.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
My advice would be to go with your gut instincts. If it sounds to good to be true, 99% of the time it is. Skilled labor isn't cheap, and cheap labor isn't skilled.
