Lake Norman

I started with Pike in 2011 as a seasonal loader. I worked off and on through school and decided in 2016 to move into a full-time role with the company. I started at the Ballantyne location and moved to our Matthews location when they opened in 2016. As an employee owner I am excited about the growth our company is experiencing!

I enjoy all aspects of horticulture and strive to learn more each and every day in the nursery. I have taken a special interest in shrubs - particularly flowering/foundation shrubs. Shrubs can add so much value to a landscape/home and customers get excited about the transformation! Flowering perennials come in at a close second, though.

My favorite part of my job is seeing our customers get excited about gardening. Gardening is a creative outlet and allows people to express themselves in many different ways - so to see people get excited about their creations and to know we have helped foster that excitement is just the best feeling.

Our Lake Norman location is the newest addition to Pike. Because of the exceptional staff here, we have built a strong foundation to foster growth in the Lake Norman area for years to come.

In my free time I enjoy gardening at home. I love container gardening, so I'm always looking for new, good-looking material for my pots. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends here in the Charlotte area. I also enjoy being in the mountains and snowboarding.

Come visit us at Pike Lake Norman and get inspired! Our staff is fantastic and has a wealth of knowledge that we are excited to share. We want to get our customers excited about gardening and make sure they are successful in their gardening adventures!
