I have been involved in the industry for over 20 years. Certified as a Master Gardner in 2006, I am also Licensed in all aspects of Restricted Use Pesticides and a Certified Arborist with ISA.

I have a small advisory company called Green Team Management that helps people with their Tree Care and Pest Control, and I am often hired by companies such as Agrium, TruGreen, Permagreen and other Pest Control companies to train their applicators and pesticide users.

I was founder of the nationwide training program for restricted use pesticide applicators called Green Team Systems which helps new employees pass the exams and be prepared to go into the field.


I am the contradiction in the industry in that I am licensed in all aspects but would rather use organic means first and have a blog to help people in my local area called www.diylawntime.blogspot.com that focuses on home gardens and creating better health.

I know that just as we often need to use an anti-biotic to help our body get healthy, often we need a pesticide to get ahead of the pest so natural means can be used.

My concern is so many people are mis-using chemicals to their harm that there had to be a way to get better information to the average person using pesticides.
