What inspired you to become involved with Pro Landscaper USA, and what excites you the most about shaping the magazine’s future?

I’m energized by blazing a new trail and building something great from the ground up, so stepping in as deputy editor of Pro Landscaper USA has been one of the most thrilling moments in my career so far. What excites me most is the chance to really listen to the industry on what they need from a publication and use that feedback to make Pro Landscaper USA the best it can be!

How do you plan to keep Pro Landscaper USA at the forefront of industry trends and innovations in the landscaping sector?

Again, I think more than anything an editor needs to listen to their audience! I want to know what are the hot button topics our readers want to learn more about, what pressing issues are impacting their businesses, etc. Aside from that, the PL USA team will be attending conferences and industry events, like IBS in Las Vegas, to make sure we’re positioning ourselves at the forefront of the industry.

Can you share a sneak peek of what topics or features we can expect in the upcoming issues of Pro Landscaper USA?

Our April issue is all about decking, and coming up we’ll be turning our attention to paving and irrigation. For more, you’ll just have to keep reading!

How do you see Pro Landscaper USA contributing to the landscaping community on the West Coast, and what impact do you hope it will have?

We’re in a moment where so much feels up in the air. It is my hope that our publication can be a uniting force within an industry that can at times feel so disparate, and the place readers turn to stay up to date on the issues that matter to them the most.
