Justin has a passion for the nature that has stemmed from his youth. As far back as he can remember, he has been drawn to outdoors. Whether he was adventuring, playing sports, hiking, fishing, or working – it didn’t matter, as long as he was outside! His depth of knowledge and appreciation for the industry is attributed to assisting his father with his own landscape company throughout his adolescents. Here he learned the level of dedication, drive, and focus needed for landscape industry which sparked his career.

With this zeal, Justin attained a bachelor’s degree in Business Management. As he grew, he explored different career opportunities, but inevitably drawn back to his roots and love for nature. Along with this love, Justin is also fascinated by the underlying science and environmental influences that bring a deeper meaning to the landscape. In 2018, Justin pursued this curiosity and attended UMass Stockbridge School of Agriculture’ selective specialty school, the International Winter School for Turf Managers. Here he furthered his scientific knowledge and learned best practices/techniques for various aspects of the landscape industry, with a special focus on grass and soil.

Justin’s respect and appreciation for nature is clear through the work of H&H and this transfers to his thoughtful interactions with his customers. Through his continued learning and growth, Justin still is in awe of nature every day. He understands the emotional response that nature can evoke and how breathtaking mother nature can really be. This admiration serves as his inspiration in which he is able to instill his professional knowledge/skill into all aspects of H&H providing both quality and care to his customers and employees alike.
