Long before I became “The Garden Guy” on FOX 9, I was just a nature-loving kid in the Aussie sun. These days, I help people across the Midwest reconnect with the outdoors through garden wisdom, wellness and outdoor living.
If you're looking for real garden advice, fresh inspiration, and a grounded voice in the green space—you’re in the right place.
Gardening is wellness
Gardening has always been more than just planting things—
Get grounded, creative, and connected to the world around us.
In today’s busy, screen-filled world, gardening offers peace, purpose, and a natural reset. It’s not just good for your yard—it’s good for your heart, your mind, and your overall well-being.
That’s why I do what I do—to help people slow down, reconnect with nature, and discover that wellness can start right in your own backyard.
Whether you're planting your first herb pot or building an outdoor sanctuary, I’m here to make it approachable, joyful, and meaningful.
Born and raised in the seaside village of Glenelg South Australia
My Grandfather ( poppa ) taught me how to garden at a young age.
Came to the USA as a horticultural exchange student with the UofM
Favorite hobby: Being a home chef creating delicious food to share.
Favorite flower..... is that a trick question? I love them all but I do have a soft spot sunflowers, peonies and any type of orchid.
