That’s a loaded question. Fearless is probably the wrong word to use because, well, I am a human being. I’ve always been someone who goes all in, though. I love hard, I compete hard, I hold myself to high standards, I love achieving goals and checking the boxes on my task list. I manage to do it all while staying humble and leading with kindness, always.

 

Movement is a huge part of my life. I have countless films of me as a toddler dancing in front of the camera or begging my mom to focus the lens on me. I found freedom in dance at the early age of three. I went on to dance competitively and loved that competitive spirit. Dance was always an art that I admired. I learned to lead each movement with intention and emotion and that’s the exact motto that I’ve built my life upon. Today I practice movement as a flower farmer, a runner, a fitness junkie who loves HIIT, strength training, Barre and Pilates. I have a bountiful garden and love to be surrounded by nature.

I never really did like following other people’s rules. I’m an Aquarius Rising. (Can you tell?) Conforming to societal norms was something that, I’d learn through many layers and experiences, was never for me. As a child, I looked forward to the day having independence to forge my own path. That little girl would be so proud if she could see me now.

Flowers completely changed the trajectory of my life. I spent over a decade building a career in shipbuilding for our armed forces. I worked tirelessly to climb the corporate ladder only to realize, when I reached the top, that I was unfulfilled.

 

Aesthetics are a huge part of who I am. My home, my garden, and my life are built around intentional beauty. This flower journey began when I discovered the world of flower farming. My wife, TerriLynn, and I own and operate a micro flower farm, Haven Flower Farm, located 45 minutes outside of New Orleans, LA. It turns out that I am a farmer, a creator and a floral artist. Ever since I discovered flower farming I have found so much joy in flowers. Dreaming up a space, cultivating a garden there, harvesting flowers, and then creating beauty with those stems is the true definition of a full circle process. Over the years I have carved out our niche to design and built a name and a brand as Haven Flower Farm.

 

When Haven got its start we did it all: weddings, events, local retail sales, farmer’s markets, etc. Our local community is faithful and always eager to get their hands on our farm grown flowers. Although Haven is alive and well, showcasing my wedding and event floral work in a separate brand, RGA Floral Atelier, is a true representation of the boundless opportunities that floral art has given me.
