Brian was born and raised in Springdale, Arkansas. He spent over 20 years working as an Irrigation Technician in various places around the state. During this time he worked to hone his skills in ecological gardening practices, proper equipment maintenance, and becoming familiar with all aspects of the lawn care business.
Brian and Cody had previously worked together at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art for a number of years. After going their separate ways for a time, this connection eventually led him to become NRM's Head Gardener! Brian has been an avid fisherman for most of his life, and when he's not at work, you can find him on any number of lakes, rivers, and streams or just being outside with his family.
