With both of Tim’s grandfathers in the green industry – one a farmer and the other a Horticulture Professor, he was destined to succeed in this field. While earning his bachelor’s degree at LSU in Ornamental Horticulture with Mathematics and Psychology minors, he started working at his first Garden Center – Clegg’s Nursery and has never looked back. 

After Graduation, his wife and he moved to Atlanta to start management positions at Pike Family Nursery. They both spent 8 years running various stores in the metro Atlanta area, while experiencing the transition to Armstrong Garden / Pike Nursery ownership. His next step was back home to Louisiana.  

At Louisiana Nursery, he started managing the POS system and signage programs before being promoted to Operations Manager and then to General Manager. During his time at Louisiana Nursery, they drastically changed the way the company was merchandised and operated. Opting for the more up-to-date open layouts and tighter inventory controls.

Tim performs the compilation of the Weekly Department Review (WDR), and accompanies Steve in onsite consultations. He also assists Steve with the annual P&L Study.
