Colorado Designscapes, Inc.

In the Industry Since: 1999

With Designscapes Colorado Since: 2008

My background is in residential landscape design and horticulture. I was lured into landscape design because it allowed me to draw and design without being an "artist". Another incentive to join the industry is my life long passion for the outdoors. I enjoy bow and rifle hunting in Colorado and throughout the mountain West.

"It's a great feeling to go to work every day with some of your best and oldest friends, never knowing from day to day if they will be helping you or if you'll have the opportunity to help them."

"I have enjoyed working at Designscapes Colorado the past 20 years because of the family and team atmosphere within the company. I have been allowed to manage without being micromanaged."

“You don’t build a business, you build people and those people in turn build the business. Working for a company that treats all of their employees like family as Designscapes Colorado does makes it by far the best and most enjoyable company I have ever worked for.”

“Craftsmanship isn't like water in an earthen pot, to be taken out by the dipperful until it's empty. No, the more drawn out the more remains.” - Lloyd Alexander

I am continually amazed at the high level of quality and craftsmanship present in our projects. It really is a testament to the work ethic and teamwork at Designscapes Colorado.

In the Summer of 1987, I began my landscaping career journey mowing lawns. Since then, I have managed and installed many award winning landscapes. I am excited about my role at Designscapes Colorado with the Commercial Maintenance team overseeing more than 100 properties.

“Working at Designscapes Colorado provides the opportunity to cultivate personal relationships with coworkers so it feels more like working with family than just another business.”

"Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture your heart". This quote goes hand in hand with the passion the team at Designscapes Colorado has to achieve success. We are a family that works hard and together to make our clients visions come to fruition. When I am out of the office and near an ocean, I love to scuba dive.

I am originally from Omaha, Nebraska. My passion for the outdoors and green industry was cultivated by yearly vacations to Colorado, where I now call home. I have been in the industry since 2007 and with the horticultural knowledge I have gained, I like to incorporate elements of the built and natural environment in a landscape to fit seamlessly with its surroundings for years to come. Outside of work I enjoy traveling and spending time outdoors with my friends and family.

"We are truly a family here. We work together as a team and it all starts with respect, trust, and caring for one another. This culture was adopted by our owner and each of us carries out these practices daily. I look forward to coming to work each and every day. "

I strive to go “above and beyond” what is expected for our clients. It is what makes Designscapes Colorado a leader in the industry. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and make your landscape a positive part of your lifestyle.

"Good planting design does not follow a formula. At best, it allows you to experiment with nature and through nature to make an original statement. As in all of the arts, the best garden designers take risks. Only by taking risks can you come up with something exciting and original." - James Van Sweden

As a landscape designer I am able to create beautiful outdoor spaces that reflect my client's personality and lifestyle. I love the design-build process at Designscapes Colorado; being a part of the construction process always reveals a rewarding end result. I am originally from Ohio, and my family still owns and operates a nursery and produce farm. As a child, I always looked up to the designers at the nursery, studying their landscape creations. My passion for the green industry started here and led me to a degree in landscape design and horticulture from Colorado State University. I enjoys all aspects of landscape design from formal to modern.

"I love the direction we are progressing in as a company with the new generation."

"I have been with this company for a little more than 19 years. I enjoy my work. I am surrounded by people who support and inspire me to keep growing."

As a Denver native I have enjoyed working in the landscape industry for the last 23 years. Working on landscapes is something I love to do and take great pride in. Maintaining the landscapes to the best they can be is the most satisfying part of the job — just seeing them makes me proud to be part of the Designscapes Colorado team.

"Eat dessert first, life is short."

I have always loved plants and flowers, so I really enjoy seeing the designs come to life.

I have worked in accounting for over 25 years and in that time, I have worked in a range of industries. As an avid gardener, i enjoy working for a company that can take someone's property and turn it into their own, personal paradise.
