Back in 1998 I found my interest in the green industry. I then attended Texas State College, where I received my AAS in Horticulture. Upon completing my studies I moved to the DFW area and began my career in the green industry as a designer and salesman. In May 2003 I started my second job working for Southwest as a sales representative. After two years, I was given the opportunity to become Purchaser of hard line materials. I have and continue to enjoy my responsibility, knowing it is contributing a small part to this successful company.
