About Us

He designed the landing gear and brake systems on the SF50 Vision Jet for Cirrus. At John Deere he designed critical structures and components on the 4R series tractors, led agricultural backhoe development and strategy, and led innovation initiatives where he invented and patented the John Deere Quik Knect, which won an AE50 award in 2020.

He has a BSME from Michigan Technological University, where he was chapter president of Sig Eps, and is a licensed Professional Engineer in Georgia.

In his spare time, he likes to…, wait, he doesn’t have any of that right now. Tom splits his time between the business and his 3 boys and very supportive wife. When he had a little more freedom, he enjoyed spending time outside, working in the shop, remodeling his home and learning how to do new things.

“Whether you are a small operation getting ready to make your first machine purchase or an established nursery looking for a full production line, my goal is to give you all the information needed to make the most informed decision. My favorite part of the job is helping customers when they are in a bind, whether it is finding a 30-year-old part or sending parts overnight air to keep them in production!

Outside of work I enjoy running, hunting with my dog Goose, traveling, and anything else outdoors.”

“I graduated with a Masters in Early Childhood Education from Valdosta State University. Tom and I have three small boys who keep us busy. I enjoy spending time with my family, going to the beach in St. Simons, visiting Tom’s family in Minnesota, camping, traveling, and being involved with our church family.

I look forward to this new adventure and serving our wonderful customers in the horticulture industry!”
