"One of my passions in life has been gardening and landscaping. As a young boy, I would spend a good part of the day working on the family farm and garden. I can remember my mother repeatedly calling me in for lunch or supper because I would get lost in the yard and garden work. Even today, I have difficulty pulling myself away from the yard and garden. Creating a beautiful art work or garden is one in the same for me."
