I am a native of the mountains of southwestern Virginia, and an alumnus of Virginia Tech. I have served as a greenhouse manager, an estate gardener, and as a representative for a Dutch firm that administers plant patent agreements throughout the world. In addition, I spent eight years serving stakeholders of Spartanburg County, SC, as a Horticulture & Natural Resources Agent before joining Clemson University Extension administration in 2016. I am proud to call the upstate of South Carolina home with my family.
