He is a graduate of the Landscape Technician Program at Humber College in Toronto, and has achieved an Associate Diploma in Agriculture with Horticulture Major from Guelph University in Guelph, Ontario Chris been involved in the landscape industry since childhood, spending summers in Prince Edward County working with his grand father, who after retirement, operated a small lawn maintenance company. From a very young age, Chris worked each summer, taking on more clients and new responsibilities, and learning valuable and practical landscape skills. It provided steady employment for him, from public school to college, to university, and paid for his schooling.
