David grew up in Kokomo, IN and attended Northwestern High School. During the summers he worked for Diceston and Sons Landscape Nursery and developed a real interest for the landscape profession. David then attended Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN where he studied Landscape Management and Design. After Purdue he was hired on at Bennets Greenhouses in Lafayette, IN as Landscape Foreman for all the landscape crews. After working for Bennets Greenhouses for 4 years, David ventured out on his own for a while dabbling in the sales market, but continued landscape consulting for family and friends. During that time, David was asked so often to help other people with their landscape design that he decided to form his own company Premier Patio And Landscape in 2003.
