Robert has been a member of the Willow Ridge team since 2000, where he serves as a landscape designer. A graduate of Oak Ridge High School in 1980, Robert spent several years successfully managing restaurants before returning to the University of Tennessee to pursue his true passion for horticulture. He earned a degree in Ornamental Horticulture and Landscape Design, along with a minor in Business Management, which has helped him bring both creativity and practicality to his design work. Robert’s design approach focuses on creating landscapes that blend naturally with their surroundings, with an emphasis on incorporating winter interest to ensure year-round appeal.

Above all, Robert values his time with his wife and two daughters, making cherished memories together.
