Jim’s family was in the tree nursery business since before he was born. His fist job was working in the fields at his family’s nursery in Salem, which his grandfather started in the 1950s and has grown to become one of the biggest tree seedling propagation nurseries in the nation today.
Jim’s family was in the tree nursery business since before he was born. His fist job was working in the fields at his family’s nursery in Salem, which his grandfather started in the 1950s and has grown to become one of the biggest tree seedling propagation nurseries in the nation today.
“Everyone in the family worked at that nursery at one time or another. My father, all of my uncles, my cousins…”, Jim explains, “And as nursery owners, we were always being asked to do landscaping work. So all of the men in my family had landscaping businesses at one time or another. You would think that would mean landscaping would be a natural next step. “To the contrary,” explains Jim, “I was always the grunt laborer. I couldn’t wait to get out of that business and do anything but that. So I went to Oregon State to get a degree in business. I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to be a businessman, not work in the dirt.”
But fate has a funny way of coming around sometimes. After college the job at the bank didn’t turn out to be as glamorous as it sounded. And climbing the corporate ladder was taking longer than expected. So after a few years Jim abruptly quit his job and just started up a small lawn care business, mowing lawns for people, until he could find a better job.
To his surprise, that small lawn care business grew quickly and within a few years Jim learned his dreams of being a businessman could be realized with this business and could maybe even be morerewarding than any corporate job he had imagined.
Over the years, his expertise in the field has lead to more than just success at his growing company. Jim has been a speaker at a national industry conference, authored several articles in industry magazines, a business mentor to over a dozen smaller landscape companies throughout the nation, and community volunteer/leader.
Today, Jim still runs and works in the company daily. He is involved with all aspects of operations. He and his wife live in the Sexton Mountain area of Beaverton with their 3 children. On his days off you will probably find him either traveling, at car shows, going to church, singing or just spending time with friends and family.
