Team

I have 12 years of experience with landscaping, horticulture and construction. I ran a successful horticulture business for 3 years prior to Common Ground. Now, with Common Ground I have expanded the boundaries of what I once thought was possible. My adult life has consisted of seeking knowledge and hands-on skills. I’ve also invested time building off-grid homesteads and my own cordwood masonry cabin. During the summer of 2019, I completed a PDC (Permaculture Design Course) and ATC (Appropriate Technology Course) in the mountains of Montana, where I met my wife Taylor. Certifications: -Master composter -Irrigation tech & design -Drainage solutions -Natural stone hardscaping -Permaculture design -Appropriate technologies

Two of my roles within Common Ground are designing outdoor spaces and connecting with clients. Ecological landscaping, connecting a landscape with the surrounding environment, is the focus of my design and install work. I have 4+ years of experience in the field, getting my hands dirty and learning the blue collar ways. I love being able to bring spaces to life for residential and commercial projects.

An advocate of using technology and marketing as a means for positive change, I'm an experienced Web Developer and always learning more about how to communicate big ideas. I consider myself a budding student of nature as I learn more about its innate intelligence and ability to heal if given the chance.

Curious, energetic and loving, Maya is an irreplaceable member of the team.

I grew up building and got my start in construction as soon as I could. Since 2019, I've been working with Common Ground on most of their projects. I'm the equipment operator and specialist for all things carpentry. From raised beds to decks, I can build it. I love leading & learning new skills.

I joined Common Ground in 2022 and am now a garden lead in training. Planting & connecting with the Earth has shown me part of my purpose. I love creating beautiful gardens and helping others learn about the value of plants. You will usually find me outside or with a book by the fire. I love learning new things and spreading kindness wherever I go.
