Title: Landscape Outside Sales - Clear Lake
How long have you worked at Midland?
I've been here since 2019 after a nearly 20 year career as a landscape designer.
What are your primary responsibilities day-to-day?
I get to work with contractors, homeowners, architects and engineers to help select the best markets in order to create successful outdoor projects. It's fun to be a part of the process from concept to completion.
What's your favorite products sold by Midland?
Landscape Lighting! It is amazing to see just how much this one simple feature can dramatically transform a landscape. Landscape lighting provides safety and security, enhances the natural beauty of stone and plantings, and extends the use of your outdoor spaces well beyond sunset. Plus, the new LED low-voltage fixtures are extremely energy efficient and low maintenance.
What's one of the most memorable projects you've worked on while at Midland?
A very large and impressive Redi-Rock project on a very steep embankment on Clear Lake. The first time I visited the jobsite, the foreman explained I would have to 'walk the plank' to get there. As I cautiously tiptoed across the 12-foot long board, hovering ten feet above open water, I wondered what in the world I was doing! But as soon as I caught view of the massive Lego blocks being installed, all by equipment, I was simply amazed.
If you were an animal, what would you be?
A bird so I could soar across the area enjoying all the beautiful landscapes. This would also allow me to fly beyond the Midwest and enjoy other regions' landscapes and their weather.
