I developed my roots in the landscape operations industry at an early age, but always had a passion for values-driven work. I focused my vocational path on preserving and restoring native ecosystems, developing skills and knowledge in this unique and rewarding industry.In 2015, I partnered with Sebert Landscape to establish Bluestem Ecological Services as a sister company. We built on their 35 years of expertise in traditional landscaping, and grounded Bluestem's work in the principles of restoration ecology. Today, I manage our team of 12 employees to steward and restore over 300 acres of our clients' properties across the Chicagoland region.
