Bio
Born and raised in Burlington Ontario CDN
Worked for Chevron Chemical Ortho (Bugs & Slugs)
When the planted burned to the ground April 25th 1978. Was offered a job working in Seattle WA. Lived there 5 years then moved to SF CA for 3 years. Then Left Ortho and returned to Seattle and joined Scotts Fertilizer and as a hobby developed real estate.
Scotts and Miracle were put together in the early 90's and then Scotts/Miracle Gro acquired Ortho and they were one big happy family. Then in 2000 they reduced staff and I left Scotts and formed a company called Green With Envy. Setting a new Green standard on the homes in Sammamish WA. We did that for 9 years and sold that to Truegreen Chemlawn. Lynne retired in 2000 and we bought a house in Surprise AZ. In a Del Webb development an over 55 community 30 miles outside Phoenix. We have literally 9,900 homes and have a golf cart that we can drive to any store church hospital city hall everything but Costco! Every day life gets better in Sun City Grand. It is like living on a cruise ship with golf courses.
We have helped form a Canada Club here which is quite active and between that and the RV club we keep very busy 6 months a year. We travel in our RV the other 6 months a year. Oh one thing I think there is about 4 homes out of 9,900 that have lawns here the rest are all rocks and cactus and Citrus trees! It gets a little toasty here in the summer with temps in the high100 and teens! At night it cools way down by maybe 4 or 5 degrees. One of the reasons we travel! If you are a burglar reading this don't even think about it. Our neighbors are true Americans the love guns and do not call 911 until shots are fired! Plus we have a big mean Pit Bull at the house and someone feeds him once a week. The rest of the time he is real hungry and hoping a burger oops I meant to say burglar shows up for dinner! Have a Grand Day at Sun City Grand!
