Born Cape Cod Mass. 1959
Moved to palm City in 1985
Education:
I have been giving quotes for my landscape company since 1986. 80 % of the time I knock on a potential client’s house, they say, “let me put my dogs away”. So, once inside I asked why did you put the dogs away. They tell me that their dogs very rarely socialize with other dogs or people because there is no where to take them. Well, I think that we can change that. With my efforts and your money, we, the board can make this happen. My original and current goal is to have a off leash dog park in every part of martin County.
